Kim Kardashian’s acting career is taking off! Following her appearance in American Horror Story’s 12th season, Delicate, Kardashian will star in a new Hulu legal drama. According to Variety, and first reported by Deadline, she will collaborate again with American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy (The Watcher, Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story) on this project.
The expected series has a firm commitment from Hulu, which also streams the coveted reality TV series The Kardashians.
The show will follow Kardashian as she portrays a prosperous divorce lawyer who runs an all-female law firm in Los Angeles. The series has revealed two of its writers: Jon Robin Baitz (The Substance of Fire, Last Summer in the Hamptons), the showrunner of Murphy’s latest season of the drama series Feud, which will be a Truman Capote-esque season entitled Feud: Capote vs. the Swans, along with Joseph Baken (Promised Land, Hollywoodland), one of the writers of American Horror Story’s spinoff American Horror Stories.
Other notable mentions of Baitz’s work include the ABC comedy series Brothers & Sisters, which Baitz is the creator of and was on the network from 2006 to 2011. He also has worked on NBC’s drama miniseries The Slap, which was derived from the Australian series with the same name. Baitz was hands-on with several episodes of the NBC drama The West Wing, a thriller series entitled Alias, and the movie Stonewall, released in 2015.
On the other hand, Baken wrote two episodes during the third season of American Horror Stories, which dropped in October, and directed the movie Mailman, released in 2021.
Kardashian is also set to star in a new comedy film entitled The Fifth Wheel, which follows a group of five female friends, with Kardashian as the group’s outsider. Following a competitive bidding war, the film finally found its home on Netflix last month.
This is Murphy’s first Disney project since he obtained an overall deal with the company in June, just after leaving his Netflix deal.
