Kardashian and her family put the city of Calabasas on the map with their hit show Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
The show, named after her hometown, marks her fourth big-selling scripted project as she continues to venture deeper into television and film.
In November it was announced that she will star in the Netflix comedy Fifth Wheel.
She has also signed on to be part of a thriller for Amazon, which does not yet have a title.
And in another collaboration with Ryan Murphy, she will appear in a legal drama series for Hulu.
Kardashian and Roberts shared a kiss in the latest episode of American Horror Story: Delicate on Fox.
In the series, Kim’s character, sassy publicist Siobhan Corbyn, helmed an Oscars campaign for actress Anna Victoria Alcott, played by Emma.
The steamy mouth-to-mouth came when Anna was announced as winner during the ceremony in the episode titled Little Gold Man.

Earlier this month during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Emma admitted that kissing and also getting slapped by Kim while filming the FX show had become like ‘another day at the office.’
‘But my sister was like, ”No, it’s not. You kissed Kim Kardashian and you didn’t tell me,” Emma said, referencing her younger sister Grace.
‘You can’t just kiss Kim Kardashian and not tell everybody,’ host Jimmy quipped.
‘I know, but we do it, you forget about it and then seeing it, it looked so intense. But meanwhile we were laughing because we kissed, and they said cut, and Kim looked at me and started laughing,’ Emma said.
‘I just had her gloss all over my face. And so we had to do major cleanup in between every take because she has the most perfect glossed lips, obviously, and it was everywhere,’ she added.
