Kim Kardashian and Ryan Murphy joined forces for the latest season of American Horror Story, and they’re gearing up for another collaboration. Murphy was so impressed by Kardashian’s breakthrough performance that he cast her in the lead role in his upcoming legal drama series.
Kardashian will play one of Los Angeles’ most successful divorce lawyers and the owner of an all-female law firm. This role hits close to home since the reality star and businesswoman started attending law school in 2019 and passed the “baby bar” law exam two years later.
When Kardashian was initially cast on American Horror Story: Delicate, Murphy described her as “one of the biggest and brightest television stars in the world” and “a true force in the culture.”
This marks the second collaboration between the duo, and it’s Murphy’s first project since he signed an exclusive new deal with Disney’s 20th Television. This legal drama will air on Hulu, which also happens to be home to the hit reality series The Kardashians.
Murphy will produce the series alongside Kardashian and her mother and manager Kris Jenner. Joe Baken and Jon Robin Baitz co-wrote the series and are also coming on board as producers.
This isn’t the first role Kardashian landed since getting her big break with American Horror Story: Delicate. She’s also set to star in the upcoming Netflix comedy The Fifth Wheel.
