Kenya Barris And Kim Kardashian’s La La Anthony Hulu Pilot ‘Group Chat’ Casts Yaya DaCosta And More

Kenya Barris and Kim Kardashian‘s Hulu new pilot, Group Chat, which stars La La Anthony, has added several more cast members.

According to Deadline, Anthony will headline the pilot with Yaya DaCosta, Melanie Liburd, Rebecca Rittenhouse and Stephanie Suganami.

Kardashian will guest star and serve as narrator. The series falls under Kardashian’s overall deal at Disney’s 20th Television.

What are the plot details known so far for ‘Group Chat’?

The pilot is loosely inspired by Anthony’s book The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex, and Happiness and follows “six fly, successful women in their forties who have conquered LA and seemingly have it all,” according to the logline.

“But behind their picture-perfect lives is a group chat that tells the real story–one that’s the heart line of their friendship and where the real drama unfolds,” the logline reads. “Because, in their world, the truth is even more wild, unfiltered, and juicier than anyone could ever imagine.” The series is summed up as a “satirical comedy.”

What do we know about the characters?

The character descriptions for the cast are currently being kept a secret.

“I’m incredibly interested in telling stories that are personal, complicated, relevant, from my own experiences and those familiar to me,” Kardashian said in a previous statement. “I had a front row seat to working with the exceptional team at 20th Television during American Horror Story: Delicate, and I’m so excited to dive into developing my first wave of television projects with the team led by Karey Burke and Eric Schrier, and to continue working alongside Craig Erwich and his entire group at Hulu and Disney.”

“Kim is a multi-hyphenate in every sense of the word, who has her finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist while simultaneously helping to define it. Her success in television with our teams – from The Kardashians to American Horror Story: Delicate – coupled with her ability to capture the imaginations of millions, puts her in the unique position to develop and produce stories that will undoubtedly pierce the culture,” said Karey Burke, President of 20th Television, and Craig Erwich, President of Disney Television Group, in a joint statement at the time the pilot was announced.

Executive producing alongside Barris and Kardashian are Adam Kassan of Barris’ Khalabo Ink Society. Anthony also executive produces. Disney TV Studios co-produces with BET Studios, of which Barris is a partner.
