Kylie Jenner is preparing for an unexpected turn in her career in front of the camera. The entrepreneur and television personality will star in a limited mystery series called Bachelorette Weekend, a project she is also co-producing with her sister Kim Kardashian. The news is significant as it marks Jenner's first serious foray into scripted drama, moving away from the reality format that has defined her for years.
The announcement comes at a time when several members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan are looking to expand their presence beyond non-fiction television. Kim Kardashian already took that step with American Horror Story, a series also available on Hulu, and is now reprising her role as executive producer to help her younger sister make her mark in the same field.
What is Bachelorette Weekend about?
The story follows a woman, played by Kylie Jenner, who organizes a bachelorette party before her wedding. What begins as a celebration among friends ends in tragedy: after a night of excess, the protagonist's body is found lifeless in a pool.
From that point on, the plot becomes a puzzle where all the attendees of the party are suspects. The series will reconstruct the events of that weekend through flashbacks to reveal clues about what really happened.
Jenner’s central role in the narrative
According to available information, Kylie Jenner's character will serve as the anchor for the flashback scenes, connecting the different points of view of the suspects and acting as the common thread to solve the thriller's central mystery.
Kim Kardashian, once again as executive producer
Kim Kardashian will take on the role of executive producer for Bachelorette Weekend, contributing the experience she has already gained in the television thriller genre. Her participation reinforces the family's strategy of staying together on scripted projects, while also strengthening both their presence in the Hulu catalog.
The writer behind the script
The original script for the series is by Lauren Oliver, an author known for her mystery novels who previously worked as a writer on the 2021 series Panic. Her experience in young adult suspense narratives is considered key to shaping the tone of Bachelorette Weekend.
A new challenge for Kylie Jenner
Until now, Kylie Jenner's acting appearances had been mainly limited to playing herself in productions like The Kardashians, or occasional cameos like her appearance in Ocean's 8. Bachelorette Weekend represents her first opportunity to lead a scripted project without the rest of her family sharing the spotlight on camera.
With this move, Jenner seeks to prove that she can carry a dramatic production on her own, in a format very different from the one that made her famous.
