Ryan Murphy’s anthology series American Horror Story is back with American Horror Story: Delicate. In true Murphy anthology fashion, this season will see returning stars Emma Roberts, Denis O’Hare, Leslie Grossman, Billie Lourd, and Zachary Quinto in either lead or guest roles. They will be joined by new cast members Matt Czuchry, Cara Delevingne, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, and Kim Kardashian, making her scripted TV debut.
Season 12, Delicate, takes inspiration from an upcoming novel by Danielle Valentine, “Delicate Condition.” The story details the horrifying pregnancy of an indie actress, Anna Victoria Alcott, who desperate to start a family after failed attempts at in vitro fertilization, ends up down a dark path to motherhood. Read on to learn how to watch American Horror Story: Delicate, even if you don’t have cable. I’ll also cover how to watch past seasons of American Horror Story.

Best Place to Watch American Horror Story
Hulu is the best streaming service for watching new and old episodes of American Horror Story and this season’s American Horror Story: Delicate. If you don’t mind waiting one day, you can watch new episodes of American Horror Story: Delicate on Hulu on-demand every Thursday. All episodes from previous seasons of American Horror Story are also available on Hulu’s on-demand service. The price for Hulu on-demand starts at only $7.99 per month after a 30-day free trial. So for just $7.99 per month, you have access to every episode of the following American Horror Story seasons:
- Murder House (2011)
- Asylum (2012–13)
- Coven (2013–14)
- Freak Show (2014–15)
- Hotel (2015–16)
- Roanoke (2016)
- Cult (2017)
- Apocalypse (2018)
- 1984 (2019)
- Double Feature (2022)
- New York (2022)
That’s a considerable saving compared to the Hulu + Live TV service, which starts at $76.99. Since you only have to wait one extra day to watch new episodes of American Horror Story: Delicate, I recommend picking up the much more affordable Hulu on-demand service to watch. However, if you must watch American Horror Story: Delicate when it airs on FX, you will need to go with Hulu + Live TV service. (Hulu On-Demand is included with Hulu+Live TV)
Below are the various packages Hulu offers that will allow you to watch every episode of American Horror Story: Delicate.
- Hulu with commercials ($7.99 per month): This is the least expensive plan Hulu offers. This will allow you to watch the current and all past seasons on American Horror Story: Delicate on-demand. New episodes of American Horror Story: Delicate are available to stream on Hulu one day after they air on FX (Thursdays). This package also provides access to the entire Hulu library; the on-demand Hulu feature providing various TV shows on network TV, cable, and all the Hulu Originals. There are commercials throughout the shows. This plan also allows subscribers to receive 1-year of Hulu for the price of 10 months ($59.99) by switching to annual billing.
- Hulu – commercial-free ($7.99 per month): For another $6 per month, you get Hulu on-demand without commercials. (Due to network arrangements, Grey’s Anatomy, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and How To Get Away With Murder will always have commercials)
- Hulu + Live TV ($64.99 per month): This plan provides the Hulu Streaming Library (with ads) and linear TV service for over 65 channels typically found on network and cable television. The lineup includes FX, so you can watch new episodes of American Horror Story: Delicate when they air on FX every Wednesday. All episodes of American Horror Story: Delicate will be available on-demand with this service as well. This plan provides the ability to watch on 2 devices at once, 50 hours of Cloud DVR storage, and more. You can remove the ads from Hulu on-demand for an additional $6 per month.
