Kim Kardashian to Produce Teen Drama ‘Calabasas’ for Netflix

Kim Kardashian, the reality TV star turned mogul, is adding another project to her impressive resume as a television producer. This time, she’s joining forces with actress Emma Roberts for a brand new Netflix series titled Calabasas.

The collaboration isn’t entirely unexpected given Kardashian and Roberts’ recent history of sharing the screen in the latest season of FX’s American Horror Story: Delicate — which involved a steamy on-screen kiss that Roberts recently shared resulted in her having Kardashian’s “gloss, like, all over my face.”

What is Netflix’s Calabasas About?

The upcoming series is based on Via Bleidner’s novel If You Lived Here You’d Be Famous By Now, a collection of essays that follows Via, a sheltered teenager coming from a private Catholic school, who finds herself thrust into the opulent and often dramatic world of Calabasas High School.

The series taps into a trend of reviving the classic high school drama genre with a modern twist. Kardashian’s own experiences growing up and living in Calabasas undoubtedly provide their advantages in producing this series. But it’s Roberts’ experience navigating the complexities of young adulthood onscreen that truly piques our interest, bringing her unique perspective for portraying relatable characters grappling with real-life issues to this new Netflix show.

Who is Behind the Making of Calabasas?

Kardashian and Roberts serve as executive producers alongside I. Marlene King, the mastermind behind the hit series Pretty Little Liars. King will also be writing the script and acting as a showrunner, bringing her expertise in crafting compelling teen narratives to Calabasas.

Exploring the Pressures and Privileges of Growing Up Affluent

While plot details remain under wraps, Calabasas promises to explore the pressures and privileges of growing up in a wealthy enclave, a theme that resonates with both Kardashian and Roberts, and is an area of intrigue for their audiences.

With a powerhouse team behind it and a timely theme at its core, Calabasas is poised to become the next must-watch teen drama. Keep your eyes peeled for updates on this exciting new collaboration!
