Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has joined the 12th season of the acclaimed horror franchise "American Horror Story" alongside series regular Emma Roberts.

Kardashian shared the announcement Monday on her official Instagram account.

"The Kardashians" star posted a creepy video to the broken theme of "Rock-a-Bye Baby".

According to entertainment website The Hollywood Reporter, the new chapter of the Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk-created show will be written and showrun by Halley Feiffer.

In a first for the long-running FX anthology series, the upcoming season will be based on Danielle Valentine's thriller novel "Delicate Condition", due out in August.
