Hulu Passes on Kim KardashianLa La Anthony Pilot, Duo Pivots to New Tracy Oliver Comedy

The move keeps their Hulu partnership alive.

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.
