editSince 2019, media personality Kim Kardashian has been studying law to become a practicing attorney in California, and passed the State Bar of California's baby bar examination in December 2021. She is also the daughter of attorney Robert Kardashian, who was a part of O. J. Simpson's "Dream Team" defense team during his murder trial in 1995.[1][2]
From 2023 to 2024, Kardashian starred in the twelfth season of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's horror anthology series, American Horror Story, playing Siobhan Corbyn, a publicist.[3] Because of Kardashian's involvement with American Horror Story, Murphy wanted to continue working with her, which led to the series being created and pitched to Kardashian by Murphy, Baitz, and Baken in 2023.[3] Parts of the initial pitch meeting with Murphy, Kardashian, and her mother Kris Jenner, were shown in season 5 of the Kardashian–Jenner reality television series The Kardashians, on May 30, 2024.[3][4] Kardashian committed to star in and executive produce the series, with Jenner also committing to executive produce.[4]
In December 2023, it was announced that Hulu had given a straight-to-series order to a legal drama series created by Murphy, with Kardashian starring as the series protagonist, a divorce lawyer and owner of an all-female law firm.[4][5] The series will be written by Jon Robin Baitz and Joseph Baken.[5] The series will be executive produced by Ryan Murphy, Kim Kardashian, and Kris Jenner.[4] Production companies involved with the series are 20th Television.[4] Production of the series is expected to begin in late 2024.[4]
