Later this month, Kim will star in the 12th season of American Horror Story.
Back in April, Kim, 42, made the announcement via an Instagram post, sharing a promotional video for the series, along with the caption featuring eyes and a blood drop emoji.
Co-creator Ryan Murphy and leading star Emma Roberts also took to Instagram to share an eerie promo video for the series’ return.
In the clip, creepy music played as the actors’ names popped up on the screen.
Ryan issued a statement regarding his casting decision, telling The Hollywood Reporter: “Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family.
“Emma and I are excited about collaborating with this true force in the culture. Halley Feiffer has written a fun, stylish and ultimately terrifying role especially for Kim, and this season is ambitious and unlike anything we have ever done.”
Ryan is said to have been impressed with Kim’s standout performance on Saturday Night Live, leading to a meeting about creating a unique role for her on AHS.
But for her sake, Kim is hoping the chance to be on the popular show puts to bed some of her less proud acting moments.

Perhaps nothing embarrases Kim more than her role in 2008’s Disaster Movie.
According to the Internet Movie Database: “Over the course of one evening, an unsuspecting group of twenty-somethings find themselves bombarded by a series of natural disasters and catastrophic events.”
Kim made her feature film debut in the project, playing a character named Lisa.
Sadly, it wasn’t a happy ending for the budding star, as Lisa was crushed and killed by a falling meteorite.
Years later, she confessed on the ABC game show Big Fan that she was “mortified” by the movie, and admitted she can’t even watch it.
FALL OUT BOY

Long before Kim fell for former boyfriend Pete Davidson, there was another on-screen Pete in her life.
In 2007, the reality star appeared in the music video for the song Thnks fr th Mmrs by Fall Out Boy – and smooched bassist Pete Wentz.
Her appearance came only months before the Keeping Up With The Kardashians season 1 premiere.
The video depicted Kim as an aspiring actress who headed backstage to lock lips with bassist Pete.
Later on, Kim appeared to leave the bassist for a chimp who was portrayed as the music video’s hot-shot director.
The bananas betrayal prompted her scorned love interest to ultimately smash his axe and storm off.
