In the cutthroat world of Hollywood, it’s not every day that a bidding war unfolds over a film, but when it involves the one and only Kim Kardashian, you know it’s going to be a showbiz spectacle. Netflix has emerged victorious in securing the rights to Kim’s upcoming comedy, ‘The Fifth Wheel,’ sending fans into a frenzy of anticipation.
After a Thanksgiving filled with gratitude and, evidently, successful negotiations, Kim Kardashian, at the youthful age of 43, is gearing up for a new role that’s bound to showcase her multifaceted talents. Co-written by the comedic duo Paula Pell and Janine Brito, ‘The Fifth Wheel’ promises to be a laugh-out-loud experience with Kim not only starring but also donning the producer’s hat alongside Paula.
Insiders spilled the beans to Deadline, revealing that Kim has been remarkably hands-on throughout the acquisition process. Described as “very hands-on,” she’s reportedly been a constant presence, leaving no room for doubt that this project is close to her heart. A source even shared, “Kim has appeared at every meeting, passionately pitching the movie idea.” It seems the reality TV star is determined to conquer the comedy world.
In ‘The Fifth Wheel,’ Kim is set to play, you guessed it, the fifth wheel, surrounded by an all-female ensemble. It’s a move that has piqued the curiosity of fans, but not without its fair share of skeptics. The announcement set social media ablaze with reactions ranging from excitement to skepticism.
As Deadline had previously hinted, multiple major studios engaged in a fierce tug-of-war for the film. Once the news hit the fan circuit, opinions varied wildly. Some fans expressed doubt about Kim’s comedic timing, with one Twitter user boldly stating, “I can tell you now that I will not be watching it.” Another questioned, “Does she even know how to be funny?” Yet, there were those who applauded Kim’s business acumen, acknowledging that she knows how to secure the bag.
Despite the mixed reactions, one thing is certain – Kim Kardashian is no stranger to the limelight, having risen to fame through reality TV on ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ and currently gracing screens on the Hulu series ‘The Kardashians.’ Her foray into acting includes memorable appearances in ‘American Horror Story: Delicate’ and lending her voice to the ‘Paw Patrol’ movies alongside her 10-year-old daughter, North West. The multi-talented star even hosted ‘Saturday Night Live’ in 2021, proving she’s no stranger to making people laugh.
However, as the announcement of ‘The Fifth Wheel’ circulates, the burning question remains: Who else will join Kim in this comedic escapade, and when can we expect to witness the hilarity unfold on our screens? With the details still under wraps, the excitement around Kim Kardashian’s latest venture is sure to keep the showbiz world buzzing.
Stay tuned for updates as Kim Kardashian gears up to bring the laughs as the fifth wheel in this highly-anticipated, all-female cast comedy, exclusively on Netflix!
