Kim Kardashian is usually seen on Hulu as part of her family’s megahit show “The Kardashians.” However, she is set to star in and produce the comedy film “The 5th Wheel’ — and Netflix, Hulu’s streaming rival, has won the bidding war for its distribution.

“[Kim] has been very hands-on in the process to sell the female-driven comedy,” an insider told Deadline, “appearing at each meeting to deliver the pitch and the studios are lining up to get in business with her.”


Kardashian recently appeared in season 12 of  “American Horror Story,” portraying PR Siobhan Walsh, alongside Emma Roberts, Matt Czuchry and Cara Delevingne. She’s also voiced the poodle Delores in a pair of Paw Patrol films.

The news about a potential move into live-action movies comes after her mom Kris Jenner raised concerns about her daughter having too much on her plate in the latest season of “The Kardashians.” The businesswoman completely forgot a whole part of her day where she met fans and told them all about her brand SKIMS’ secret plans because she was suffering from the signs of burnout.


On a recent episode of “The Kardashians,” she had rehearsals for her role in “American Horror Story,” a Time magazine cover shoot, a Met Gala dress fitting, a SKIMS business meeting, a fashion gala, an appearance on the “Today” show and watched her brother-in-law Travis Barker’s Blink-182 show.

However, there was one part of her day she completely forgot: greeting fans at Tiffany’s and sharing where she was on social media.

“I had no idea that I stopped at the Tiffany’s store and was posting all about it,” she recalled. “Did I really go? It felt like a dream. This whole morning has been a complete, foggy dream.”

Jenner was concerned about her daughter burning out and quizzed her over her schedule. Kim admitted doing “American Horror Story” “put me over the edge.”
