Kylie Jenner To Launch Acting Career In Kim Kardashian's Thriller Series
According to Deadline, the Kylie Cosmetics founder is set to star in and executive produce Bachelorette Weekend, a thriller drama series. This will be Jenner's first major original scripted role, but she won't be going into it alone—Kim Kardashian is set to executive produce the series alongside Jenner.
The series, which is based on an unpublished novel by Flora Collins, will unravel what happened during a bride's bachelorette weekend that ended with her dead in a swimming pool. Kylie, who will play the bride, is described as the show's "north star" by Deadline. While Jenner has never taken on a dramatic role before, between her older sister and her famous boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, she'll have plenty of people to turn to for tips.
Social Media Reactions
While certainly an exciting announcement for the 29-year-old mother-of-two, not all fans were quite happy to hear the news, and accused Kylie of not earning the role, but rather having it handed to her. "This is the only role she can get because her sister is the producer," one person wrote on Instagram.
"Where and when did she audition??" asked one user. "Just because you are a celebrity in any other field, doesn't mean you can jump into acting and singing when you’re not even good at it."
"She didn't land a role, she didn't an actress nor did she have to audition I'm sure," said another.
"About to cancel my Hulu subscription," added the next.
"Why are they all suddenly acting?" asked another.
"Landed a role? No actually, it was given to her like everything else," a final user agreed.
