Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend La La Anthony’s comedy pilot Group chat just faced rejection from Hulu after almost two years of development.
The TV series is inspired by the 46-year-old BMF actress’s 2014 book The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex, and Happiness.
Group chat centers on five LA women in their 40s, starring Anthony, Yaya DaCosta, Rebecca Rittenhouse, Melanie Liburd and Stephanie Suganami, whose private group chat revealed the raw, messy reality behind their chic exteriors.
Meanwhile, the 45-year-old reality star would executive produce and serve as narrator on the series starring Anthony, whose real name is Alani Nicole Vázquez.
“It’s going to be so fun and relatable: seeing five women navigate through life while leaning on their group chat for everything. I’m super excited,” says the first. MTV TRL VJ quit PopViewers‘ Vibes & Views event last June.
He continued, “Kim and I had always wanted to do something together, but it had to be the right thing. One day I said, ‘You have a deal at Hulu – what are we doing? Let’s sell this show.’ That’s how Group chat born.”
Last Friday, Variety reported that Kardashian and Anthony will now team up to produce an untitled Tracy Oliver comedy series currently in development at the same streaming giant.
The logline reads: “When the Bay Area’s most sought-after crisis manager for professional athletes finds her own life turned upside down by her husband’s scandal, she turns to the three women who have been by her side through every version of her life. Together they navigate dating, ambition, motherhood and the glamorous mess of starting over.”
