Kim Kardashian<\/a>\u00a0has landed a huge new Netflix<\/a> role in a film directed by Eva Longoria<\/a>\u00a0– following her TV series All’s Fair flopping with critics and viewers.<\/p>\n

The socialite and media personality, 45, will play a key character in the streaming platform’s new comedy movie The Fifth Wheel.<\/p>\n

Written by Paula Pell and Janine Brito, the premise follows a group of best friends from high school who try to reconnect during a weekend trip to Las Vegas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kim plays a ‘hot outsider’ who gatecrashes the experience – as the friends evaluate their own messy lives and questionable decisions.<\/p>\n

According to Deadline<\/a>, Brenda Song<\/a>, Fortune Feimster and Nikki Glaser have signed up to star alongside Kim in The Fifth Wheel.<\/p>\n

Kim also serves as an executive producer alongside co-writer Paula Pell and Will Ferrell<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n

Kim Kardashian has landed a major role in an upcoming Netflix comedy film – despite her recent TV series being savaged by critics<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Hollywood <\/div><\/div>\n

Hollywood A-List star Eva Longoria has been snapped up to direct The Fifth Wheel for the streamer<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It was announced yesterday that actress and Disney Channel icon Brenda Song would be starring opposite Kim<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Fifth Wheel was first announced in November 2023<\/a>\u00a0and found its home at the streaming service a week later.<\/p>\n

Eva, 50, was confirmed to be on board to direct the upcoming project by May 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It comes as last month, Kim’s legal drama series All’s Fair was savaged by critics<\/a> after its release on Disney+ and Hulu.<\/p>\n

Created by Ryan Murphy of Glee and Scream Queens fame, it follows a glamourous all-female divorce firm in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kim receives top billing in the series and portrays the character Allura Grant.<\/p>\n

Other cast members include Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson and Niecy Nash-Betts.<\/p>\n

All’s Fair earned a rarely seen 0% ‘rotten’ rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Times<\/a>‘ Ben Dowell declared in his zero star review: ‘This may be the worst TV drama ever’ whilst\u00a0USA Today<\/a>‘s Kelly Lawler decided the drama was at the very least ‘the worst TV show of the year.’<\/p>\n

Many took aim at Kim, who also served as an executive producer, with Dowell writing: ‘Does Kardashian make a convincing lawyer? No, she does not. She is to acting what Genghis Khan is to a peaceful liberal democracy.’<\/p>\n

Angie Han of The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> writes that ‘Kardashian’s performance, stiff and affectless without a single authentic note, is exactly what the writing, also stiff and affectless without a single authentic note, merits.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Lucy Mangan for The Guardian<\/a> opened her review with the musing ‘I\u00a0did not know it was still possible to make television this bad… But I was wrong. All’s Fair\u00a0is terrible. Fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Viewer reaction wasn’t any less scathing. After watching the pilot, many viewers were left baffled by Kim’s prominent role in a series starring award-winning actresses.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Writer, <\/div><\/div>\n

Writer, comedian and actress Fortune Feimster has also been revealed to be joining the film’s cast<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"It <\/div><\/div>\n

It comes as Kim’s legal drama All Rise was savaged by critics and viewers after being released last month<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Her performance was called ‘stiff’ and ‘monotone’ with another fan writing on X, ‘Stop giving Kim Kardashian acting roles. She can’t act I can’t be the only one who is aware of this.’<\/p>\n

‘It’s okay the show but really Kim Kardashian cannot act’ another wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Why is Kim Kardashian getting this much work… she literally can’t act.<\/p>\n

\n

‘It is baffling to me how she can consistently work while there are much better and more deserving actresses who don’t get to work as often.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite the negative reception, it was later announced the show had been renewed<\/a>\u00a0for a second outing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The bright news came as Kim revealed\u00a0she did not pass the California bar which she took in July.<\/p>\n

‘Well…I’m not a lawyer yet, I just play a very well-dressed one on TV,’ she began, referencing her role as Allura on All’s Fair.<\/p>\n

‘Six years into this law journey, and I’m still all in until I pass the bar. No shortcuts, no giving up – just more studying and even more determination.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
