La La Anthony is stepping into a new spotlight as the star and executive producer of Hulu’s upcoming satirical comedy pilot, Group Chat. The show, officially greenlit by Hulu, also brings together powerhouse collaborators Kenya Barris and Kim Kardashian, who are on board as executive producers.
About the Series
Loosely inspired by Anthony’s bestselling book The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex, and Happiness, Group Chat follows five successful women in their forties navigating high-profile lives in Los Angeles. While they appear polished and in control on the outside, their private group chat becomes the outlet for their unfiltered thoughts, exposing the hilarious, messy, and deeply personal sides of their lives.
This marks the first TV project under Kim Kardashian’s first-look deal with 20th Television, signaling her growing influence in scripted content. “I’m incredibly interested in telling stories that are personal, complicated, and relevant,” Kardashian shared when announcing the deal.
Behind the Scenes
Kenya Barris, creator of Black-ish and founder of Khalabo Ink Society, continues his trend of blending sharp humor with cultural commentary. The show is being produced by 20th Television and BET Studios, with Barris’ production banner attached.
Anthony’s acting resume includes roles in Power, BMF, and Grown-ish, while Kardashian recently gained attention for her performance in American Horror Story: Delicate. Their collaboration on Group Chat has already sparked buzz across industry circles and social media.
Why It Matters
Group Chat reflects a rising trend in television: Black women leading the charge in content creation and storytelling. The comedic and layered lens this show offers could strike a chord with a wide, diverse audience looking for bold, relatable voices in entertainment.
