Kim Kardashian to play a lawyer in new drama series with Ryan Murphy and Kris Jenner producing

SKIMS mogul and reality TV maven Kim Kardashian has been pursuing more acting roles lately. Since her lauded stint as host of Saturday Night Live in 2021, she has starred in American Horror Story: Delicate and lent her voice to PAW Patrol.

Now, the producer of American Horror Story, Ryan Murphy, who helped launch the acting career of Lady Gaga, is teaming up with Kimberly for an unnamed drama series to premiere on Hulu, and Kimberly is all set to star.

Deadline is reporting that Kimberly will star as an attorney in a new legal drama series which describes her yet-unnamed character as “Los Angeles’ most successful divorce lawyer and the owner of an all-female law firm.”

We of course know this isn’t too much of a stretch for Kimberly, who over the past few years has decided to follow her late father Robert Kardashian Sr’s footsteps and enter the legal profession. She passed the baby bar a few years ago to fast-track the process to the bar exam, and she’s been instrumental in lobbying for prison reform. In 2020 she convinced then US President Trump to pardon the offense of Alice Johnson, who was serving a life sentence for a low-level, non-violent drug crime, per Reuters. She has also visited death row inmates in an attempt to draw attention to the US’s capital punishment laws.

Deadline is also reporting that, like Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and The Kardashians, this show will still be a family affair, with Kimberly’s famous momager Kris Jenner producing the show alongside Ryan Murphy. 

The outlet reports the production is still in the casting phase, and that they want a big name to star as Kimberly’s on-screen love interest. The show is eyeing a 2025 premiere date, to be determined. 

First, Kimberly will star in a Netflix series “The Fifth Wheel” which sold to the streaming giant after several different networks put in bids.
