Following on from the huge success of “The Kardashians” and her appearance in the latest season of FX’s “American Horror Story”, 20th Television has signed Kim Kardashian to a new overall deal.

She is currently working on a brand new drama series for Hulu called “All’s Fair”, which she will star in and also produce.  She’s also been behind three other projects, including two movies and a show, which have been sold in bidding wars to Netflix and Amazon MGM Studios.

The first project to be created under her new overall deal is “Group Chat”, where Kim has teamed up with La La Anthony to adapt his bestselling book, “The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex, and Happiness. Group Chat”.  They are also teaming up with “Black-ish” creator Kenya Barris to work on this series, which is in development for Hulu and is a co-production between 20th TV and BET Studios.  All three are executive producers, along with Adam Kassan.

Kim Kardashian said in a statement to Deadline regarding the deal:

“I’m incredibly interested in telling stories that are personal, complicated, relevant, from my own experiences and those familiar to me.  I had a front row seat to working with the exceptional team at 20th Television during American Horror Story: Delicate, and I’m so excited to dive into developing my first wave of television projects with the team led by Karey Burke and Eric Schrier, and to continue working alongside Craig Erwich and his entire group at Hulu and Disney.”

Karey Burke, President of 20th Television, and Craig Erwich, President of Disney Television Group, also said in a joint statement regarding the deal:

“Kim is a multi-hyphenate in every sense of the word, who has her finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist while simultaneously helping to define it. Her success in television with our teams – from The Kardashians to American Horror Story: Delicate – coupled with her ability to capture the imaginations of millions, puts her in the unique position to develop and produce stories that will undoubtedly pierce the culture,”

Kim Kardashian took to her social media to confirm the news by sharing a screenshot of the news.

Roger’s Take: This doesn’t come as a huge surprise to me, Kim is constantly looking for new opportunities and is moving into a different era of her career.  She’s hit the ground running with Disney and teaming up with creators like Ryan Murphy and Kenya Benya who can make these projects work.  Many might not like her, but she does understand her audience very well.
