Kim K's Netflix Comedy Movie Adds Brenda Song & Nikki Glaser
The plot sounds so messy.
Kim Kardashian’s acting era has been buzzy recently. She become the latest Ryan Murphy muse with American Horror Story: Delicate and her legal drama All’s Fair. Now, she’s jumping from TV to movies. Back in 2023, Deadline reported Kim will produce and star in an upcoming film called The Fifth Wheel.
According to the outlet, The Fifth Wheel is a “female-driven comedy” that features some impressive behind-the-scenes talent. The movie was written by Saturday Night Live alum Paula Pell, who will share producer duties with Kardashian and her Wine Country co-star Janine Brito. Deadline revealed that five unnamed studios have lined up with offers to purchase the movie, but the movie ended up at Netflix.
The Fifth Wheel is the latest pin in Kim’s IMDb credits. Aside from appearing in the newest season of The Kardashians, the reality star also reprised her voice-acting role as Delores (the talking poodle) in Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie this summer. Her eldest daughter, North West — who’s already shown she’s a natural comedian — also starred in the dog-centered film.
Though she’s dabbled in the movie biz in the past, The Fifth Wheel will mark Kardashian’s first lead role in a major motion picture. She’s previously acted in smaller supporting roles in 2008’s Disaster Movie, 2009’s Deep in the Valley, and 2013’s Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor. Clearly, Kardashian’s looking to become a permanent fixture on the small and big screen.
Here’s everything to know about the The Fifth Wheel, below.
The Fifth Wheel Cast Has More Big Names
Three more stars of The Fifth Wheel were announced on Dec. 9, 2025. The upcoming Netflix comedy will star Brenda Song, Nikki Glaser, and Fortune Feimster alongside Kardashian. Glaser and Kardashian have previously (sort of) worked together at 2024’s roast of Tom Brady.
The Film’s Plot Is Wild
The casting announcement also shed some light on what The Fifth Wheel is about. According to Deadline, the comedy is about a group of besties from high school who reconnect on a weekend trip in Las Vegas. But, Kardashian will play an outsider who throws a wrench in all of their plans.
