Following her breakout role in “American Horror Story: Delicate,” Kim Kardashian is set to star in a new series.
Teaming up again with horror series co-creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy, Kardashian — who played publicist Siobhan on “AHS” — will play Los Angeles’ most successful divorce attorney in the upcoming project.
Kim Kardashian To Star In Legal Drama Series
Kardashian will once again hone her acting skills in a “sexy adult” drama where her lawyer alter-ego will be the owner of an all-female law firm. The series, scripted by “Brothers & Sisters” creator Jon Robin Baitz and “Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans” writer Joe Baken, is currently in contract negotiations for the mother of four.
Additionally, the series has landed on steaming giant Hulu, marking the debut project for Murphy under his new deal at Disney. 20th Television, a component of Disney TV Studios, is handling production.
When Murphy, Baken, and Baitz presented the concept of the series to Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, both women immediately committed to the project. Following the decision, Murphy, along with Kardashian and Jenner, pitched and successfully sold the project to Hulu.

The streaming platform, buoyed by the success of “The Kardashians” and “AHS: Delicate,” quickly jumped on the opportunity. Hulu was apparently quite impressed with the pitch, and they committed to what some insiders described as a “direct order to series.”
The series is aiming to begin production in late 2024, with an expected premiere in early 2025. For Kardashian, transitioning to the role of a lawyer is in line with her real-life aspirations, as she is actively studying for the bar exam after passing the Baby Bar in 2022 each Deadline.
As mentioned above, the Skims co-founder played the ruthless publicist, Siobhan, in “AHS: Delicate,” marking her most significant role to date. Despite initial doubts about his acting due to his background in reality television and social media, the 43-year-old surprised many with a performance that received enthusiastic support from fans and positive reviews from critics.
Taking to X, this person indicated, “New [AHS] actually looks pretty scary and has a lot of potential + Kim surprised me her acting was good,” while another stated, “Dare I say, Kim isn’t bad. He delivers his lines quite cleanly. He gives the character some life and isn’t boring like we usually see. Congratulations.”
A third social media user said, “Yessss!!! I have been waiting for a good season of AHS and omg they delivered! Episode 1 was great! Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian are amazing! Kim absolutely ate up the role! She gave Academy Award nominees,” and a fourth admitted, “Kim Kardashian did that. He had a lot of odds against him, but he really gave the actor.”

Last month, The Blast reported that an intense bidding war that lasted nearly a week resulted in Netflix emerging as the winner, acquiring the rights to “The Fifth Wheel.”
The competition, which involved streaming services and theatrical distributors, narrowed from five contenders to three. After Thanksgiving, Netflix finally won over Kardashian and her co-writers Janine Brito and Paula Pell.
Reports claim that the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum is deeply involved in the sales process and actively pitches female-driven comedy at every meeting, attracting interest from studios eager to work with her.
In any case, the important aspect of this project lies in its rapid development, which defies the usual months-long process known in the industry. Brito and Pell pitched the comedy to Kardashian shortly after SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America ended earlier that month.
Due to the extraordinary speed of the project in development, it has been highlighted that it marks the first significant sale in 2023, just before the end of the year. Sources have suggested that as a producer, Kardashian will play an active role in the marketing strategy, suggesting a hands-on approach.
