Kim Kar­dashi­an is head­ing to ‑owned stream­ing ser­vice acquir­ing the U.S. rights to Kardashian’s docuseries Eliz­a­beth Tay­lor: Rebel Super­star

The series, which chron­i­cles the life and career of one of the 20th century’s most rec­og­niz­able fig­ures, includes the first-ever filmed inter­view with Taylor’s son, Chris Wild­ing, along­side inter­views with Dame Joan Collins, Sharon Stone and Paris Jack­son. Kar­dashi­an, who con­duct­ed Taylor’s final inter­view in 2011, also appears in the series.

Rebel Super­star is pro­duced by Kar­dashi­an and Pas­sion Pic­tures and dis­trib­uted inter­na­tion­al­ly by Fre­man­tle. It debuted on the BBC last year.

The ser­vice picked up a Yel­low­stone doc­u­men­tary from Kevin Cost­ner, a docu­d­ra­ma from Mar­tin Scors­ese called The Saints and a true-crime series led by 50 Cent.

But it also acquired rights to a wrestling pro­mo­tion from the late Hulk Hogan; and inked a deal with TKO for rights to Pro­fes­sion­al Bull Rid­ers live events.

Eliz­a­beth Tay­lor may not be true crime or bull rid­ing, but the gold­en age of Hol­ly­wood may res­onate with some sub­scribers, with the plat­form also host­ing some clas­sic movies.
