Netflix has officially acquired the forthcoming comedy The Fifth Wheel, produced by and featuring Kim Kardashian.

The streamer was allegedly engaged in a bidding conflict with theatrical distributors and other streaming services; however, two of the five businesses withdrew from the competition just before Kardashian and co-writers Paula Pell and Janine Brito finalised the contract with Netflix. The Fifth Wheel will showcase a female ensemble cast; nevertheless, the plot elements and primary characters remain unannounced.

Kardashian is predominantly recognised as a reality television personality and entrepreneur, however she ventured into acting earnestly this year. She assumed a prominent part in Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story: Delicate, depicting the character of Hollywood agent Siobhan Corbyn.
