Kim Kardashian is taking on a leading role in the new Netflix comedy "The Fifth Wheel." She will be joined by prominent comedians Nikki Glaser and Fortune Feimster in the upcoming film. Eva Longoria is directing the project, which is based on a script co-written by Paula Pell and Janine Brito.

The movie has been a high-priority project for Netflix since they acquired the package in late 2023. The script, penned by Pell, has already garnered praise for its comedic writing. Glaser, Song, and Feimster are all recognized for their work in comedy, adding significant star power to the ensemble cast.
