Kim Kardashian and La La Anthony are turning up the heat on Hulu with their new upcoming series Group Chat, a satirical comedy that promises to deliver laughter, luxury, and some seriously unfiltered drama. As reported by Deadline, the show is created by acclaimed writer and producer Kenya Barris, the mastermind behind Black-ish and Grown-ish.
Anthony and Kardashian will not only star in the show but are also on board as executive producers, working closely alongside Barris to bring the project to life.
What’s Group Chat All About?
Inspired by La La Anthony’s bestselling book The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex, and Happiness, the series centers around five fabulous, high-powered women in their 40s who seem to have it all—beauty, success, fame, and influence in Los Angeles. But behind their glamorous public lives lies a private space where the real story unfolds: their secret group chat.
“Behind the picture-perfect lives is a secret group chat where the real drama unfolds,” the official description teases. “In their world, the truth is messier, more unfiltered, and juicier than anyone could imagine.”
The show is expected to blend humor, heart, and high drama, with a touch of satire, as it peels back the layers of fame and friendship among women navigating life in the spotlight.
La La Celebrates the Announcement on Instagram
La La Anthony couldn’t contain her excitement about the project and took to Instagram to share the big news with her fans and followers.
“Group Chat is COMING TO HULU!!!!! Everyone’s invited to our group chat @kimkardashian 😬😬😬 excited to do this with you @kenyabarris!!!,” she wrote.
Her followers and celebrity friends quickly flooded the comments with congratulations and excitement, eager to see what this powerhouse trio is cooking up.
Kim Kardashian: From Reality Queen to Scripted Star
While Kim Kardashian is widely known for her reality TV empire with The Kardashians—currently Hulu’s top unscripted series—she’s also making bold moves into the world of scripted television.
In addition to Group Chat, Kardashian is also set to star in and executive produce the upcoming legal drama series All’s Fair, created by Ryan Murphy, further proving that she’s ready to be taken seriously as an actress and producer.
La La Anthony’s Hollywood Track Record
La La Anthony has built an impressive resume in the acting world. She rose to fame with her standout role as LaKeisha Grant on the hit Starz series Power, and later appeared on BMF and The Chi. She’s also no stranger to working with Kenya Barris, having appeared in his Netflix comedy film You People, and had a guest spot on his Freeform series Grown-ish.
Anthony is also an accomplished author. Her 2014 book The Love Playbook became a bestseller, offering candid advice on relationships, love, and personal growth. She later followed up with another book titled The Power Playbook, further solidifying her voice as a motivational figure for women.
Kenya Barris: The Hitmaker Behind the Scenes
Kenya Barris has become a major force in TV and film. Best known for creating the critically acclaimed Black-ish franchise, his creative reach has extended into several successful projects including The Vince Staples Show on Netflix and Diarra from Detroit on BET+, which stars and was created by Diarra Kilpatrick.
Barris also wrote and directed You People, the Netflix film starring Eddie Murphy and Jonah Hill, which tackled race and relationships through a comedic lens. With Barris behind the scenes of Group Chat, audiences can expect clever writing, social commentary, and plenty of memorable moments.
Why This Show Will Be a Must-Watch
Between the real-life friendship of Kardashian and Anthony, the smart writing of Kenya Barris, and the juicy premise that blends reality and fiction, Group Chat is shaping up to be a cultural moment. It promises to explore modern womanhood, friendship, fame, and personal identity—all within the safe (but savage) space of a private group chat.
Fans can expect sassy dialogue, plot twists, fierce fashion, and a whole lot of tea. With Hulu investing heavily in both scripted and unscripted content, Group Chat is positioned to be a breakout hit.
