KIM Kardashian is bringing her talents to Netflix through a hot-item new TV series, where she’ll reunite with Emma Roberts with other top-level names attached.
Kim and Emma – who co-starred in American Horror Story: Delicate, are teaming up for a show called Calabasas on the streaming giant.
Calabasas is a TV series that Kim, 43, will executive produce and star in.
She will do so with Emma, Pretty Little Liars creator Marlene King, and Tar’s Alexandra Milchan.
This comes after a “competitive bidding” war “that went through the week,” sources told Deadline on Saturday.
Finally, Netflix struck a deal to develop Calabasas with the winning bid.
A release date has not yet been announced, but Calabasas is based on the book If “You Lived Here, You’d Be Famous By Now.”
Marlene King will be writing the adaption and serving as show runner.
The show will follow “A 16-year-old sheltered Midwestern Catholic school girl whose world is turned upside down when her family moves and she’s forced to transfer to the fast world of Calabasas High.”
At the main character’s new school, “Nothing is as it appears and where everyone is trying to be someone else.

“It’s a place where dreams come true … but not without complications and sometimes unforeseen consequences,” according to Deadline.
This is, of course, a close-to-home project for Kim as she’s lived in Calabasas for many years and grew up in the area.
The show is said to be “in the vein of The OC and Beverly Hills 90210.”
‘A HIT?’
Fans are seated as they took to social media reacting to the news on Saturday.
“About to be a hit,” one X user wrote.
“Would have been more fun if Kourtney was included,” quipped another.
“Calabasas sounds like it could be quite the intriguing project with that lineup!” wrote a third.
Others were more skeptical, “Get the Kardashians away from narrative film and TV, please!”
BOOKED AND BUSY
This marks Kim’s fourth major screen project she’s sold since the Hollywood strikes ended.
The previous three are the feature film Fifth Wheel, which also went to Netflix with her attached to star.
Then, there’s an untitled thriller that went to Amazon as well as another show she is set to star in: a legal drama series for Hulu.
It’s unclear what Kim’s role will be in Calabasas or who else will star.
KIM’S ACTING CV
Kim famously found reality TV fame on Keeping Up With The Kardashians and is keeping it up with Hulu’s The Kardashians.
She also recently starred as publicist Siobhan Walsh in FX’s American Horror Story: Delicate – surprising fans with her acting chops – and lent her voice to two Paw Patrol films.
She was also a knee-slapper on SNL back in 2022, winning over fans with a funny monologue full of self-aware jokes.
But she also had a few more lesser-known acting stints while finding superstardom.
Just a month before her reality TV era began, Kim had a steamy role in a Fall Out Boy music video that also starred a chimpanzee.

And perhaps most regrettably, she starred in 2008’s Disaster Movie.
Years later, she confessed on the ABC game show Big Fan that she was “mortified” by the movie, and admitted she can’t even watch it.
