Netflix has unveiled a sneak peek at the upcoming comedy film "The Fifth Wheel," directed by Eva Longoria and starring Kim Kardashian and Nikki Glaser. The movie, written by Paula Pell and Janine Brito, follows a group of high school friends reuniting in Vegas for a weekend getaway. However, their plans are disrupted when an outsider, played by Kardashian, joins them, leading to a series of revelations and challenges in their friendships.
This project marks Longoria's second directorial effort for a feature film and her debut with Netflix.

For Kardashian, "The Fifth Wheel" represents her latest acting venture, following roles in Hulu's legal drama "All's Fair" and a part in "American Horror Story." The film also signals her first leading role in a movie and her first collaboration with Netflix. The comedy is part of Netflix's recent lineup of Los Angeles productions, joining other projects like "Animals," "Beef" Season 2, "Monster" Season 4, "Running Point" Season 2, "Star Search," and "Nobody Wants This" Season 2.
Produced by a team that includes Pell, Kardashian, Jessica Elbaum, Will Ferrell, Alex Brown, Cris Abrego, and Longoria's Hyphenate Media Group, "The Fifth Wheel" is set to bring a fresh and entertaining story to audiences. While a release date has not been announced yet, fans can anticipate a fun and engaging comedy experience when the film hits screens.
