Kim Kardashian Spotted Filming Hilarious New Netflix Comedy ‘The Fifth Wheel’
Kim Kardashian is officially back in front of the cameras for her latest acting endeavor. The multihyphenate was spotted on set in Los Angeles on Saturday, January 24, where she is leading the cast of the new Netflix comedy The Fifth Wheel.
The film is being directed by Eva Longoria and features an impressive ensemble of comedic talent. Kardashian stars alongside Fortune Feimster, Brenda Song, and Nikki Glaser, who are set to play a group of high school best friends trying to reconnect during a wild weekend in Las Vegas. Kardashian portrays the “hot outsider” whose presence disrupts the trip and forces the group to confront their own messy lives.

The production of The Fifth Wheel follows a busy start to the year for the actress and her team. Earlier this month, Kardashian was seen out at dinner with director Eva Longoria and her co-stars at a Beverly Hills hotspot to celebrate the start of the project. The script for the film was co-written by comedy veterans Paula Pell and Janine Brito, with Kardashian also serving as a producer through her company.
Kim Kardashian has been rapidly expanding her acting portfolio over the last year. She recently appeared in the Ryan Murphy legal drama All’s Fair on Hulu, playing a successful divorce lawyer named Allura Grant.
Despite some mixed critical reviews, the series was a massive viewership hit and has already been renewed for a second season. She is also currently attached to a live-action Bratz movie project at Amazon MGM Studios, where she is expected to play a villain.
Aside from her film and television roles, Kardashian has been focused on her studies and her family. She recently graduated from law school after years of documenting her journey on her family’s reality series.
In her personal life, she continues to navigate co-parenting her four children, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, with her ex-husband, Kanye West. She also remains at the helm of her billion-dollar shapewear brand, SKIMS, and her skincare line, SKKN by Kim.
The Fifth Wheel is one of several high-profile original films scheduled for Netflix in 2026. While an exact release date has not been set, the movie is part of a star-studded slate that includes the crime thriller The Rip and the mystery sequel Enola Holmes 3. With Longoria directing and a cast of seasoned comedians, the project is expected to be a major highlight for the streamer later this year.
