Her first series is with pal La La Anthony : Kim Kardashian signs deal with Disney’s 20th Television
Disney’s 20th Television has granted Kim Kardashian a first-look contract to develop scripted series.
The 43-year-old reality TV veteran enrolled after filming the upcoming Hulu courtroom drama All’s Fair and starring in the most recent season of FX’s American Horror Story, both of which are produced by the massive entertainment conglomerate and 58-year-old writer-director Ryan Murphy.
The mother-of-four will collaborate with Black-ish creator Kenya Barris, 50, and her friend La La Anthony, 42, as part of her first-look deal.La La’s best-selling book The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex, and Happiness will serve as the basis for the television program.
Group Chat is the name of the series, which Deadline claims is already in development.According to reports, Kenya is developing the program, with La La—real name Alani Nicole Vázquez—starring.
‘I’m really interested in writing stories that are personal, complicated, relevant, from my own experiences and those who are familiar to me,’ Kim stated in a statement regarding her most recent career move. «During American Horror Story: Delicate, I got to work with the amazing team at 20th Television up close and personal.»
«I’m thrilled to continue collaborating with Craig Erwich and his entire team at Hulu and Disney, as well as to dive into developing my first wave of television projects with the team led by Karey Burke and Eric Schrier.»
«Kim is a multi-hyphenate in every sense of the word, who has her finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist while simultaneously helping to define it,» said Disney Television Group president Craig and 20th TV chief Karey.
«Her ability to capture the imaginations of millions of people, along with her success in television with our teams, from The Kardashians to American Horror Story: Delicate, puts her in the unique position to develop and produce stories that will undoubtedly pierce the culture.»
Keeping Up With The Kardashians is the reality TV series for which Kim is most well-known. She has, nevertheless, performed in several plays.
Disaster Movie (2008), How I Met Your Mother (2009), CSI: New York (2009), 30 Rock (2012), Drop Dead Diva (2012), Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor (2013), and 2 Broke Girls (2014) are just a few of the movies she has acted in.In addition, she provided the voices for two PAW Patrol movies in 2021 and the 12th season of the horror anthology series American Horror Story in 2023–2024.
Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West’s Sunday Service gospel choir has allegedly lost its charitable designation in the meantime.
The verdict comes three years after the 47-year-old Ye rapper failed to file tax returns for the company. Ye, who is facing lawsuits from former personnel and was notably booted from a succession of big-brand deals due to his anti-Semitic outbursts, is now facing legal action.
The gospel group’s tax exemption status was removed on May 15, per the IRS website.
According to The US Sun, the explanation was «for not filing a Form 990-series return or notice for three consecutive years.»
West founded Sunday Service in 2019.His representative has been contacted by DailyMail.com for comment. Since it was initially registered as a 501(c)(3) organization, it was granted exemption from federal income tax.
‘Religious, educational, benevolent, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, supporting national or international amateur sports competition, or prevention of cruelty to children or animals organizations’ is how they are categorized.
The loss of the charity status remained in effect as of August 12.Every weekend the Grammy winner performed with the gospel choir when Kanye first opened the Sunday Service.
In 2019, they made their stage debut at the Coachella music festival. They also worked with Texas-based Pastor Joel Osteen, who had Kanye perform at the Lakewood Church in Houston in November of the same year.
Although the event’s tickets were free, attendees sold them online for as much as $500. A few of Kanye’s Sunday Service employees and members have legal difficulties with him; in 2020, they filed class action lawsuits against the rapper alleging maltreatment.
At the time, the performer-turned-fashion designer was accused by over 500 performers and about 300 crew workers of breaking California labor regulations by underpaying them and depriving them of food and bathroom breaks.
One of them was Michael Pearson, a Sunday Service performer, who said he was paid a daily rate of $250 and was not allowed to take breaks.
In addition, he said that when transportation was not available, artists stood or squatted on the ground all day before walking home.
Although they were requesting more than $10.5 million in damages, it was reported in June that Kanye and the hundreds of Sunday Service performers and personnel reached a $1.35 million settlement.
