Dr. Candace Carter-Oliver Interview
La La Anthony will flex her comedic chops in the upcoming Hulu series Group Chat.
Deadline exclusively reports Hulu has requested a pilot order for Group Chat, the satirical comedy series starring La La Anthony. Anthony will also serve as an executive producer along with her bestie, Kim Kardashian, and Kenya Barris, who will also handle writing duties.
According to the website, the series will be loosely based on Anthony’s bestselling book The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex, and Happiness.
Per Deadline:
Group Chat landed at Hulu for development in summer 2024 as the first project under a first-look deal Kardashian signed with 20th Television. The Disney TV Studios division co-produces the comedy with BET Studios, where Barris is a principal partner.
Loosely inspired by Anthony’s bestseller The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex, and Happiness, Group Chat revolves around five fly, successful women in their 40s who have conquered L.A. and seemingly have it all. But behind their picture perfect lives is a secret group chat where the real drama unfolds. In their world, the truth is messier, more unfiltered, and juicier than anyone could imagine.
La La Anthony continues to accumulate acting credits. After making her acting debut in 2001’s Two Can Play That Game, her career took off. She has gone on to star in box office hits Think Like A Man and Think Like A Man Too and in hit series like Power, The Chi, and BMF.
For Kardashian, she also has caught the Hollywood bug. The reality television star turned mogul has starred in Tyler Perry’s Temptation and in FX’s popular franchise American Horry Story.
Barris has been booked and busy since his Black-ish franchise spawned three successful spinoffs. He also executive produces the critically acclaimed BET+ series Diarra From Detroit and Netflix’s The Vince Staples Show. He wrote and directed the Netflix film You People, which starred Eddie Murphy, Jonah Hill, Lauren London, and Sam Jay.
