This marks the first major role for Jenner, who is following the career trajectory of older sister Kim Kardashian, a social media and reality star and business mogul branching out into acting and producing.
The Kardashian family have a strong relationship with Disney, with many of the shows including “All’s Fair”, “The Kardashians” and “The Girls: A Khloé Kardashian Project’, all doing well on Hulu in the US and on Disney+ internationally. While Kylie might not have any experience acting, she brings a lot of attention to a show that another actor would likely not be able to do.
