Kim Kardashian is really doing the acting thing

Look out, Hollywood, there’s a new It Girl in town. This It Girl was already an It Girl in other realms—reality television, fashion, even law apparently—but now Kim Kardashian has decided to really commit to being an actor. She’s coming off of a buzzy supporting role in American Horror Story: Delicate, in which she got to show off her comedic chops. Now she’s flexing those chops even further with her new film The Fifth Wheel, which this weekend was acquired by Netflix, according to Deadline.

Kardashian will reportedly play the “fifth wheel” in the female-driven ensemble comedy. Not much else is known about the movie, possibly because there’s not much else to it yet: the outlet reports that writers Paula Pell and Janine Brito came up with the idea and pitched it to Kardashian immediately after the SAG-AFTRA strike ended. Kardashian bought in and was “very hands on” in participating in every pitch meeting as they shopped the film around Hollywood. Competition for the project was apparently heated, but Netflix—also home to comedies Wine Country and Girls5eva, in which Pell and Brito are also involved—won out.

Pell is a notable alum of the Saturday Night Live writers room, while her wife Brito has credits on One Day At A Time, Bless The Harts, and Mr. Mayor. Beyond American Horror Story, Kardashian’s acting credits are mostly voice roles in the PAW Patrol movies and cameos as herself on sitcoms. However, her stint as an SNL host in 2021 generally exceeded expectations—perhaps because she sought advice from a number of high-profile performers, including Amy Schumer, Dave Chappelle, Michelle Wolf, Ellen DeGeneres, and James Corden (according to TMZ).

Unclear how launching a film career fits in with Kardashian’s legal studies. Clearly, she’s a woman who likes to play many roles at once (TV star, law student, mogul, muse, mother…), but it’s a lot to juggle for someone who said in May she was hoping to take the bar exam within the next year. In fact, she said at the TIME 100 Summit that she’d be okay quitting the cameras and becoming a full-time lawyer. “I always joke with my mom—who’s my manager—I say Kim K. is retiring, and I’m just going to be an attorney,” she said. Well, hold off on the retirement party, because Kim K. has another career to conquer.
