Kylie Jenner’s character is described as the "North Star" of the series, meaning the story will continue to center on the bride as it explores the events leading up to the murder.

The reality star is set to headline and executive produce the series, which is based on an unpublished novel by Flora Collins.

Her older sister, Kim Kardashian, will also executive produce the project alongside her.

The project comes from Kapital Entertainment and was created for television by author and screenwriter Lauren Oliver.

Oliver also serves as an executive producer.

Aaron Kaplan and Jaiden Kaplan are attached as producers, with Kapital Entertainment and 20th Television serving as co-studios.

The series is based on Collins’ book, which was developed through Oliver’s intellectual property packaging company, StoryGiants. Oliver wrote the television adaptation, which was developed internally at Kapital by Aaron and Jaiden Kaplan.

The role marks a new step for Kylie Jenner, who has built her career through reality television, social media, and her business ventures.

Her move into scripted television follows a similar path to Kim Kardashian, who has expanded from reality TV and business into acting and producing.

Kim Kardashian recently took on a leading acting role in Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair, while also building her producing credits.

The reality star shared in an interview, alongside Charli XCX and the mockumentary director Aidan Zamiri, that it was Jenner herself who presented the idea of being included in it.

"We were actually on a flight together, and you were telling me about this project. And I believe in you [Zamiri] so much and you [Charli] so much and I presented the idea, I think."

Jenner also discussed her experience participating in her debut film.

"I was very nervous up until we were actually doing it. I think I'm comfortable in front of cameras, less comfortable doing something I've never done before in front of people. I think after the first take, I was like 'Okay. I feel good about this.' And I was very well prepared.”

She added:

“I was thinking of working with an acting coach, but then I'm like, 'I'm playing myself, and I'm in the movie for like three minutes.' Just practicing with people that I trust and my friends and my family, that gave me confidence."
