Casting News: Kylie Jenner Lands First Starring Role On Hulu, Prime Video Romance Adds Six, And More – TVLine

Fresh off Kim Kardashian’s starring roles on “American Horror Story” and “All’s Fair,” another member of her famous family is getting into the acting game.

Beauty mogul Kylie Jenner will executive-produce and star in a new drama series for Hulu, Deadline reports. Tentatively titled “Bachelorette Weekend,” the thriller follows a close group of girlfriends who all become suspects when their bestie (Jenner) is found murdered in the pool during her own bachelorette weekend.

Based on Flora Collins’ unpublished novel of the same name, “Bachelorette Weekend” is being executive-produced by writer/creator Lauren Oliver, Aaron Kaplan, Jenner, and Kardashian.

This marks Jenner’s first foray into series television; she previously guest-starred as herself in a 2023 episode of “The Simpsons,” and she provided the voice of Penelopuff in 2021’s “Trolls Holiday in Harmony.” Reality TV viewers are, of course, familiar with Jenner from her appearances on shows like E!’s “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” and Hulu’s “The Kardashians,” where her entire life has been documented since she was nine years old.
