Overview
- Hulu rejected the Group Chat comedy pilot after nearly two years of development, with outlets citing Variety’s report on Friday.
- The collaborators are now developing an untitled Tracy Oliver half-hour at Hulu that follows a Bay Area crisis manager whose life is upended by her husband's scandal.
- Kim Kardashian had been set to narrate and executive produce Group Chat, while La La Anthony led an ensemble that included Yaya DaCosta, Rebecca Rittenhouse, Melanie Liburd and Stephanie Suganami.
- Representatives for Hulu, Kardashian and Anthony did not respond to requests for comment, and no casting or production timeline for the new Tracy Oliver project has been announced.
- The swift redeployment illustrates how streamers repurpose talent after a pass, with some reports pointing to possible 20th Television involvement under Kardashian’s first‑look deal that has not been confirmed.
