One day Taylor Swift is writing a song about you pushing her down the stairs at school, and the next day youâre producing a show set at one. Deadline reports that Netflix has acquired the scripted series Calabasas from executive producers Kim Kardashian, Emma Roberts, and I. Marlene King. The project is Kardashianâs latest foray into film and television after starring in the most recent season of American Horror Story with Roberts. Sheâs also since signed on to star in the upcoming Paula Pell-penned comedy The Fifth Wheel for Netflix, as well as a legal drama series for Hulu from Ryan Murphy. King, who created Pretty Little Liars, is set to write and serve as showrunner for Calabasas.
The series is based on Via Bleidnerâs 2021 book If You Lived Here Youâd Be Famous By Now, a collection of essays about her experience transferring from a private Catholic school to Calabasas High. Published when Bleidner was 21 years old, the essays chronicle the culture shock of coming of age in the L.A. suburb known for its Kardashian connection, with the bookâs synopsis referencing stories like âKim Kardashian endorsing the studentsâ favorite hidden lunch spotâ and âKanye trying to take control of your school to make it the very first YEEZY institution.â So it seems like if Kardashian wants to add the show to her acting rĂ©sumĂ©, sheâll have to play herself.
