AceShowbiz - Kim Kardashian has signed a first-look deal with 20th Television, the studio behind her recent projects "American Horror Story: Double Feature" and the upcoming Hulu legal drama "All's Fair". Under the multi-year pact, Kardashian will develop and produce scripted projects across drama, comedy and limited series.
For her first project under the deal, Kardashian has teamed up with her close friend La La Anthony and "black-ish" creator Kenya Barris for a comedy series titled "Group Chat". Based on Anthony's bestselling book "The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex and Happiness", the show will be co-produced by 20th TV and BET Studios, where Barris is a principal partner. Kardashian and Anthony will executive produce alongside Barris and Adam Kassan of Barris' Khalabo Ink Society.
Kardashian expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that she is "incredibly interested in telling stories that are personal, complicated, relevant, from my own experiences and those familiar to me." She praised the exceptional team at 20th Television and looked forward to collaborating with them on future projects.
Meanwhile, 20th Television President Karey Burke and Disney Television Group President Craig Erwich lauded Kardashian for her ability to define cultural trends and capture the imaginations of millions. They believe that the deal will allow her to develop and produce stories that will "pierce the culture."
In addition to "Group Chat", Kardashian has several other projects in the pipeline. She is set to star on and produce "All's Fair" on Hulu and has three packages that have sold in competitive bidding wars, including the Netflix series "Calabasas" and the movies "The Fifth Wheel" and an untitled thriller at Amazon MGM Studios.
