EXCLUSIVE: Kylie Jenner is set to headline and executive produce Bachelorette Weekend (working title), a thriller drama, which is finalizing a deal for a straight-to-series order at Hulu, Deadline has learned.

This marks the first major role for Jenner who is following the career trajectory of older sister Kim Kardashian, a social media and reality star and business mogul branching out into acting and producing.

Kardashian is executive producing Bachelorette Weekend alongside Jenner. The project, created by author/screenwriter Lauren Oliver, comes from Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment.

In the series, a bachelorette weekend turns deadly when the bride (Jenner) winds up murdered in the pool, and her closest girlfriends all become suspects. Jenner’s role is described as the North Star of the series, which pieces together the events that led to the murder.

Jenner, Kardashian and Oliver executive produce with Aaron Kaplan; Jaiden Kaplan co-executive produces. Kapital Entertainment is the co-studio alongside 20th Television.

Bachelorette Weekend is based on an unpublished book by Flora Collins which was developed by Oliver’s IP packaging company StoryGiants. The TV adaptation, written by Oliver, was developed internally at Kapital by Aaron Kaplan and Jaiden Kaplan.

The spec script was sent to Kardashian to produce. She felt it was a great starring vehicle for Jenner and passed it onto her with both quickly coming on board. Through Kardashian’s first-look deal at 20th Television, Bachelorette Weekend was pitched to sibling Hulu, which bought it preemptively. After some back-and-fourth, the Disney streamer took it off the market with a straight-to-series order, which is still being negotiated.

Jenner telegraphed her interest into acting with her buzzy cameo in the Charli XCX’s A24 movie The Moment; she has been a fixture in the movie circles over the past couple of years, attending major events with her partner TimothĂ©e Chalamet. Like the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, including Kim, Jenner is a star and executive producer on the hit Hulu reality series The Kardashians, which returns for Season 8 on Oct. 8.

Kardashian is the star and executive producer of her own scripted series on Hulu, legal drama All’s Fair. She also headlines and produces the upcoming Netflix movie The Fifth Wheel and executive produces the upcoming Netflix YA drama series Calabasas and the unscripted series Teen Moms: Baseball, which just premiered on Paramount+.

Bachelorette Weekend expands Kapital’s slate at Hulu where the company also has in the works drama series You Deserve To Know, starring The Vampire Diaries duo of Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley, and What Remains, starring Kerry Washington. This marks the second green light for Jaiden Kaplan who also conceived and produced Kapital’s two One Mile streaming movies starring Ryan Phillippe, which are currently topping the Paramount+ daily chart at No.1 and No. 2.

Oliver’s previous works include multiple bestselling YA novels, including Before I Fall, the Delirium trilogy and Panic, which she later adapted into the streaming TV show on Amazon Prime of the same name. She is the author of psychological thrillers The Girl in the Lake and The Sleepwalker (June 2027) which is in feature development at Amazon/MGM, with Lauren adapting and with Scarlett Johanssen and Scott Stuber attached as executive producers. The first book in Oliver’s debut cozy mystery series The Die Hards will be published under her pseudonym Oliva Lawrence by Minotaur in Fall 2027.

Jenner and Kardashian are repped by WME. Oliver is repped by Verve and Jamie Feldman.
