Kylie Jenner to Make Acting Debut in Hulu Series Bachelorette Weekend

Kylie Jenner will make her formal dramatic acting debut as the murdered bride in Bachelorette Weekend, a suspense drama series in development at Hulu. The project shifts the entrepreneur away from the reality television format that built her global brand, placing her in a scripted role where her character’s death sparks a whodunit mystery among a group of female friends.

From Reality Television to Scripted Streaming Drama

The series centers on a weekend getaway between friends that ends in tragedy when the bride, played by Jenner, is found dead in the accommodation swimming pool. Although the character dies at the beginning of the story, she maintains a fundamental presence throughout the narrative via flashbacks or plot reconstruction to determine which of the female suspects committed the crime. According to the original reporting by Deadline cited across outlets, the production is created by writer and author Lauren Oliver and is based on an unpublished book by New York writer Flora Collins.

For Jenner, who commands an audience exceeding 380 million social media followers and has lived in front of cameras since childhood, this fiction project represents a significant career pivot. While she recently appeared in a brief cameo playing herself in the false documentary The Moment led by Charli XCX, Bachelorette Weekend marks her first major scripted acting role.

Kim Kardashian Shapes the Casting Decision

The path to Jenner’s casting involved her older sister Kim Kardashian, who evaluated the original script and recognized the potential fit. Both sisters will serve as executive producers on the series, which is backed by 20th Television—a subsidiary of Disney and parent company of Hulu—where Kardashian holds a preferential development deal.

The project arrives as the Kardashian-Jenner family continues to expand its footprint within the scripted entertainment sector alongside unscripted ventures like The Kardashians on Hulu, where Jenner serves as an executive producer and whose eighth series season is scheduled to premiere on October 8.
