Netflix has released first-look images from the set of “The Fifth Wheel,” the forthcoming Eva Longoria-directed, female-driven comedy starring Kim Kardashian and Nikki Glaser. 

Written by Paula Pell and Janine Brito, the film is set to follow a group of high school best friends as they “attempt to reconnect during a weekend haunt to Vegas,” per the official logline. But when a “hot outsider” (the titular fifth wheel, played by Kardashian, of course) crashes their weekend, “they’re forced to face their messy lives, bad decisions and unraveling friendships.” 

The comedy is Kardashian’s latest foray into acting; the reality star previously led as Allura Grant in Hulu’s legal drama  “All’s Fair” and as prominent publicist Siobhan Corbyn alongside Emma Roberts in Season 12 of “American Horror Story.” Back in June 2025, Variety reported that the multi-hyphenate would also be stepping into the villain role in a “Bratz” movie from Amazon MGM. “The Fifth Wheel” marks Kardashian’s first leading film role and first collaboration with Netflix. 

The comedy joins Netflix’s recent slate of Los Angeles-shot productions, including the Ben Affleck-directed “Animals,”  Lee Sung Jin’s “Beef” Season 2,  Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s “Monster” Season 4, Mindy Kaling’s “Running Point” Season 2, “Star Search” and “Nobody Wants This” Season 2. 

The film is produced by Pell, Kardashian, Jessica Elbaum, Will Ferrell and Alex Brown for Gloria Sanchez, and Cris Abrego and Longoria’s Hyphenate Media Group. Mary Bundy and David Hyman serve as executive producers. A release date has yet to be announced.
