“The 5th Wheel” is described as a female-driven comedy, with Kardashian co-producing alongside Paula Pell, a longtime Saturday Night Live writer, and Janine Brito, the screenwriter behind “One Day at a Time.” Despite People’s request for comment, Kardashian’s representatives have not provided any statements on the matter.
This venture into feature film acting and production comes after Kardashian’s recent appearance in FX’s “American Horror Story” and her contributions to animated films such as “PAW Patrol.” In a statement at the 2023 Met Gala in May, Kardashian expressed enthusiasm for stepping outside her comfort zone and embracing new challenges in her career.
Kardashian’s acting career began in 2008 with her onscreen debut in “Disaster Movie.” Over the years, she has been involved in various film projects, including “Deep in the Valley” and Tyler Perry’s “Temptation: Confession of a Marriage Counselor,” alongside numerous appearances as herself in television and film.
Paula Pell, co-producing “The 5th Wheel” with Kardashian, is a seasoned writer known for her work on Saturday Night Live. She has collaborated with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on several occasions, contributing to projects like “30 Rock” and writing the 2015 comedy “Sisters.”
As the project gains momentum, Kardashian’s foray into film continues to attract attention, showcasing her expanding presence in the entertainment industry. The collaboration with experienced figures like Paula Pell suggests a concerted effort to bring fresh and engaging content to the screen.
