Netflix Adds to Its Kim Kardashian Catalogue, Secures Coming of Age Drama Set in Her Home Town
Since Kim Kardashian took the SNL center stage and introduced herself as a mother, millionaire, law student, and billionaire, it has become a running gag, but upon closer inspection, one begs to question where the joke is. The reality TV star has made a place for herself in the entertainment industry as well as people's hearts. However, it seems that the one willing to give her the most space, literally, is none other than Netflix.
The SKIMS owner has decided to prove her merit as a force to be reckoned with in the showbiz and has successfully managed to do the same. Recognizing the talent, Netflix has added another Kim Kardashian project to their catalogue.

Owing to their constant desire to revamp and rise ahead, it does not take more than a glance to see why business mogul Kim Kardashian and streaming giant Netflix are the perfect match. To further cement this bond, Netflix has acquired the right to a coming-of-age project by the name of Calabasas, executive produced by Kim, as confirmed by Variety.
Other than her name board as an executive producer, there are other things about the project that simply scream Kim Kardashian. Emphasis on the 'scream' bit as the reality TV star's American Horror Story: Delicate co-star, Emma Roberts is also executive producing the series along with her. Furthermore, the series is set in Calabasas, Kardashian's home residence.
While Kim Kardashian might be the major reason behind the streaming mogul acquiring the project, it also falls in line with another one of Netflix's preferences.

With the series still being developed at Netflix, not a lot is known. However, the fundamental fact that is based on the adorned Via Bleinder book If You Lived Here You’d Be Famous by Now, falls greatly in its favor. This may have also been a huge factor in Netflix acquiring the rights, as the streamer is always on the grind for putting out applaud-worthy adaptations.
The series follows a sheltered Catholic girl whose world turns upside down when she transfers schools in Calabasas, making it the perfect plot for a Netflix summer hit. Given that most of the streamer's originals in the coming-of-age genre such as Sex Education and Stranger Things have either met or are slowly approaching their end, this Kim Kardashian project may just be what the streamer needs.
