Kim Kardashian continues to be a reality TV queen, given the continued success of her family’s flagship show, The Kardashians. However, as of late, she’s also been carving out a lane for herself within the realm of scripted TV by way of a few drama series she’s headlined in recent years. Despite that, I still wasn’t expecting her to join forces with a Bridgerton alum for a new project set to be available for Netflix subscription holders. I suppose that, given the development, it’s also quite fitting that Kardashian recently sported some corsets.
In 2024, it was reported that the SKIMS founder teamed up with Netflix to produce a new drama series called Calabasas. I. Marlene King – of Pretty Little Liars fame – was initially set to serve as showrunner but has since exited the project. Now, according to Deadline, Bridgerton creator Chris Van Dusen has been tapped to showrun and write the show, and this marks a significant pickup for the production.
