Kim Kardashian is set to further hone her acting chops in a sexy new ‘adult’ legal drama.
The American Horror Story: Delicate star cut her teeth as publicist Siobhan in the latest season of the spooky anthology show, and now she’s set to play Los Angeles’ most successful divorce lawyer in a completely new show. With AHS creator Ryan Murphy at the helm, it will apparently see Kim take on a more central role.
Deadline reports Kim will play a lawyer inspired by her own divorce attorney, Laura Wasser – AKA the ‘disso queen’. Her character will own an all-female law firm in the new series, written by Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken.

Kim, who is currently studying to be a lawyer in real life, “committed right away” to the project, which is set to air on Hulu in early 2025 alongside her reality series The Kardashians. Her mom Kris Jenner is set to act as executive producer.

Kim and her ex-husband Kanye West’s divorce reached a settlement in 2022, with the former couple electing to share custody of their four children. Kanye has to pay Kim $200,000 (£166,000) every month in child support, while the parents split the cost of private security, schooling and university for their kids.
Neither are paying spousal support, and their own debts will be dealt with individually. The pair already had a prenup when they married in 2014, though Kim accused Kanye of making co-parenting “impossible every step of the way” leading up to their settlement.
It’s fair to say that reactions to Kim’s acting debut in American Horror Story were mixed – and while fans of her reality show are looking forward to her new legal drama, other Hulu viewers have been left baffled by the casting decision. Taking to X – formerly known as Twitter – fans rushed to make their thoughts known.

One wrote: “Kim sucks at acting. Why is she on this? Ruined it for me.” While another echoed: “I’m not into Kim at all #AHS.” Other fans, however, were loving her performance, as one gushed: “FINALLY feels like AHS again! Really enjoying this season! And Kim Kardashian is shockingly great!”
Another posted: “Kim Kardashian is doing the damn thing on American Horror Story, I don’t care what anyone says.”
It’s not Kim’s only upcoming acting project. She’s also producing and starring in new Netflix comedy The 5th Wheel. She’s starred in everything from Disaster Movie to Ocean’s Eight in the past, along with lending her voice to the new Paw Patrol movie as Delores.

It comes after fans were left baffled by a detail they spotted in Kim’s latest snap, which showed her posing alongside several nude thongs and rumpled Skims garments on hangers behind her. One critic fumed: “I hate all her used looking undergarments lazily hung on those hangers.”
While another said: “Don’t think she realised that she was taking selfies with thongs hanging behind her, all willy nilly.”
