Yahoo News From Kim Kardashian to Emma Roberts, here's who everyone is playing on “AHS: Delicate”
Another year, another cast of mysterious American Horror Story characters to sift through.
In the months and weeks before the newest season dropped, FX was characteristically mum on just who the starry cast of AHS alums and newbies alike would be playing. The first few episodes of the new season, which has been dubbed Delicate, at long last provided some answers.
Here's who everyone in the cast is playing… so far.
Emma Roberts as Anna Victoria Alcott
Frank Ockenfels/FX Emma Roberts as Anna on 'AHS: Delicate'
Anna is a New York City-based actress who has a breakthrough performance in a hit indie film and thus finds herself dealing with her newfound fame while enduring countless IVF treatments. As the buzz around her recent work grows, she fears that something may be coming after her and her pursuit of motherhood. Anna is the main protagonist this season.
Matt Czuchry as Dex Harding
FX Matt Czuchry as Dex on 'AHS: Delicate'
Dex is Anna's artist husband. The premiere reveals that he was previously married to a woman named Adeline (Annabelle Dexter-Jones), who died under currently unknown circumstances. He works with fellow artists Talia (Juliana Canfield) and the mysterious Sonia Shawcross (also Dexter-Jones), who bears a striking resemblance to his late wife.
Kim Kardashian as Siobhan Corbyn

Siobhan is Anna's devoted publicist and best friend, who is very committed to seeing Anna's career take off. The premiere doesn't tell us much else about Siobhan, other than she, too, tried IVF in the past… to no success.
Denis O'Hare as Dr. Andrew Hill
AHS fan favorite Denis O'Hare makes his return to the series as Dr. Hill, Anna's main IVF doctor.
Juliana Canfield as Talia

Talia is an artist, who was best friends with Dex's late wife, Adeline. She still apparently works with Dex in the art world in some capacity, is weirdly aggro with Anna, and really doesn't want anything to do with children.
Cara Delevingne as Ivy
FX Cara Delevingne as Ivy on 'AHS: Delicate'
Not much is known about Ivy yet, but she is seen lurking outside the IVF clinic, watching Anna (or so she thinks). In episode 2, she appears as a nurse when Anna experiences her miscarriage, but later we learn that no nurse named Ivy works at that particular hospital.
Annabell Dexter-Jones as Sonia Shawcross/Adeline

Sonia introduces herself to Anna at Dex's art gallery opening briefly in the premiere. We learn she is an apparent fan of Anna's and is an artist, who also happens to look a lot like Adeline, Dex's dead wife. At least so far, we don't see Adeline on screen besides pictures and news articles about her death, which we don't know much about yet.
Julie White as Io Preecher
We don't know anything about her yet, but the specter of Ms. Preecher looms large on the season so far. She pops up everywhere in the premiere — at the clinic after the IVF procedure to creepily tell Anna she knows her, in the crowd at the Andy Cohen show taping, and again looming over Anna on the operating table.
Maaz Ali as Kamal
Frank Ockenfels/FX Maaz Ali as Kamal on 'AHS: Delicate'
Ali's character, Kamal, is introduced in the second episode as someone who "looks like a model playing a security guard, but he actually is a security guard" at the getaway property Talia arranges for Dex and Anna to stay at.
Michaela Jaé Rodriguez as Nicolette
Frank Ockenfels/FX Michaela Jaé Rodriguez as Nicolette on 'AHS: Delicate'
Episode 3 finally introduces Rodriguez' mysterious character, who tells Anna that she is Talia's "house manager." When we meet her, Anna hears a haunting version of "Rock-A-Bye-Baby," but Nicolette tells her it's just a video of her singing to her own baby, which she's watching in hopes it will help her lactate. Nicolette also reveals that she's a single mom, but doesn't provide more details about herself or what exactly she does.
Leslie Grossman and Billie Lourd as the Ashleys
Lourd's Ashley and Grossman's Ashleigh are collectively known as the Ashleys in present day, where they are crisis PR managers called in by Siobhan in episode 4 to rehab Anna's image. (Side note: The "personal viral feminist anthem" Instagram Reel they come up with is one of the more hilarious beats in the AHS universe in recent memory.) However, they might just be immortal beings or witches of some sort, since they're both seen in the flashback scene in 1555 England, taking Bloody Mary's monster baby in exchange for a fruitful reign as queen.
AHS alum Zachary Quinto also has a cameo playing an actor who presents Anna's award at the Gotham Awards in episode 2.
AHS: Delicate airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.
