If you’ve always wanted to welcome Kim Kardashian (All’s Fair, The Kardashians) into your circle of friends, you’re in luck. The multihyphenate will lead and produce The Fifth Wheel, an upcoming ensemble comedy that follows one disastrous group trip to Las Vegas. Directed by Eva Longoria (Flamin’ Hot), the film is written by Paula Pell (Saturday Night Live, Sisters, Girls5eva) and Janine Brito (Mr. Mayor, Bless the Harts). Join in on the fun with photos shared from the set in Los Angeles, where the film has officially started production.
Meet the rest of the group chat embarking on this Sin City adventure: Nikki Glaser (Trainwreck), Fortune Feimster (Zootopia 2, FUBAR), and Brenda Song (Running Point, The Last Showgirl) play longtime best friends whose lives are upended when Kardashian’s character enters the mix. Jack Whitehall (Jungle Cruise, Jack Whitehall: Fatherhood with My Father), Casey Wilson (Gone Girl, Grace and Frankie), and Scott MacArthur (Running Point, The Righteous Gemstones) are also booked for the chaotic trip.
