It’s a family affair.
Kylie Jenner will star in and executive produce a new Hulu series, that will also be executive produced by her mega-famous sister Kim Kardashian. It’s the first time Jenner has done a scripted acting role.
The new show, called Bachelorette Weekend, is reportedly a murder mystery about a bride who is found dead in a pool during her bachelorette weekend trip, with all her closest girlfriends becoming suspects, according to Deadline.

Jenner will play the bride, who will piece together the events leading up to her murder. The story is based on an unpublished book by Flora Collins, adapted by screenwriter Lauren Oliver (Before I Fall, the Delirium trilogy and Panic), who is also executive producing with Aaron Kaplan and Jaiden Kaplan.
Onscreen, Jenner is better known in the world of reality television—she appeared for 20 seasons of her fam's E! show Keeping Up with the Kardashians and its Hulu follow-up The Kardashians, and also starred in a short-lived spinoff Life of Kylie. The beauty mogul has also appeared as herself in Ocean’s 8 and voiced Penelepuff in the NBC holiday special Trolls: Holiday in Harmony. Her most recent on-screen performance came earlier this year in Charli xcx’s The Moment, where she appeared as a caricature of herself.
Outside of acting, Jenner has been a TV host, co-written a novel and become a self-made billionaire thanks to her Kylie Cosmetics company.
Her sister Kim has been executive producing for awhile now; she’s the star and executive producer of Hulu’s legal drama All’s Fair and produces the upcoming Netflix movie The Fifth Wheel. She also executive produces the upcoming Netflix YA drama series Calabasas and the unscripted series Team Moms: Baseball on Paramount+.
Bachelorette Weekend’s premiere date hasn’t been announced yet, but both Kardashian and Jenner will return in the eight season of Hulu’s reality series The Kardashians on Thursday, October 8.
