Kim Kardashian Launches New Broadway Production This Season
Kim Kardashian has entered Broadway as a producer for the upcoming play “The Fear of 13,” a drama based on the real-life case of Nick Yarris, who spent more than twenty years on death row for a murder he maintains he did not commit. The production, written by Lindsey Ferrentino and directed by award‑winning Tony Cromer, features Adrien Brody and Tessa Thompson. Opening night is scheduled for Wednesday at a New York theater.
Kardashian’s involvement follows a history of public advocacy for criminal justice reform. She has testified before the White House during the administrations of Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and lobbied for the commutation of life sentence for Alice Marie Johnson, whose release and pardon occurred in mid‑2018 and August 2020, respectively.
The actor‑entrepreneur states that “The Fear of 13” aligns with her commitment to highlight systemic injustices through storytelling. No additional parties have confirmed partnership beyond the listed creative team. The play is set to premiere in 2026.
