Nikki Glaser, Brenda Song, and Fortune Feimster Team Up with Kim Kardashian in New Netflix Comedy ‘The Fifth Wheel’
Nikki Glaser, Brenda Song, and Fortune Feimster Join Kim Kardashian in Upcoming Netflix Comedy
Nikki Glaser, Brenda Song, and Fortune Feimster will join Kim Kardashian in the Netflix comedy The Fifth Wheel. Directed by Eva Longoria, the film features a script by Paula Pell and Janine Brito. Kardashian and Pell are among the producers, collaborating with Jessica Elbaum, Will Ferrell, and Alex Brown through Gloria Sanchez Productions, along with Cris Abrego and Longoria’s Hyphenate Media Group.
The narrative centers on a group of high school best friends who seek to reconnect during a weekend trip to Las Vegas. Their plans take an unexpected turn when a charismatic outsider, played by Kardashian, joins them, forcing the friends to confront their tangled lives, poor choices, and fading friendships. Mary Bundy and David Hyman are serving as executive producers for the project.
The film has been a top priority for Netflix since the platform acquired the project over Thanksgiving weekend in 2023 after a competitive bidding war. Buyers involved in the auction have described the script as one of the most humorous they have encountered in recent times, reflecting Pell’s esteemed track record.
Nikki Glaser has gained prominence as a comedian, particularly after her notable performance during the Tom Brady Roast, which aired on Netflix last year. She is currently in development for a new comedy project with Universal, in which she will star and that Judd Apatow will produce.
Brenda Song recently appeared alongside Kate Hudson in the Netflix sports comedy Running Point and also featured in The Last Showgirl with Pamela Anderson.
Fortune Feimster starred in the Netflix action-comedy series Fubar alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and lent her voice to a character in Zootopia 2.
Glaser is represented by UTA and Brillstein Entertainment Partners, while Song is repped by CAA and Brookside Management. Feimster is represented by UTA and Levity Entertainment Group.
