Whitney Leavitt is not done with unscripted television. The reality star is set to headline her own series for Hulu, taking on both starring and producing duties on the untitled project.
Hulu has greenlit the show, which will center on Leavitt. She and her husband, Conner, will executive produce through their company, Leavitt Media House.
Leavitt appeared in the first five seasons of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives before announcing her exit this May. In the months since, she hinted that a solo series might be in the works, and she confirmed the news on Instagram Wednesday with a post filled with screenshots of fans speculating about her next move. "See you soon," she wrote in a joint post with the Get Real Hulu account.
The announcement caps a busy stretch for Leavitt. Last year she competed on season 34 of Dancing With the Stars, a run that opened the door to her record-setting turn on Broadway in Chicago. She kept filming Mormon Wives throughout both projects before announcing earlier this spring that she was leaving the show after its fifth season.
Her reality television footprint keeps growing. Leavitt was just announced as part of the upcoming cast of Peacock's Emmy dominator The Traitors. She is also set to make her feature film debut in the holiday romantic comedy All For Christmas, which releases on Netflix Nov. 24, a project she stars in and executive produces.
Her husband Conner, notably, competed on season 35 of Dancing With the Stars, a sign that Disney was interested in extending the Leavitt family footprint across its platforms.
When asked in March about her career future beyond a potential Mormon Wives exit, Leavitt told The Hollywood Reporter she would never close the door on reality TV as her career continued to expand.
"This is just the beginning. It feels like this is just the beginning of something that I've wanted to do and I've been trying to do for years," she said of her career progression. "I couldn't be more grateful. I feel like I'm just now on the ladder, and I'm just going to slowly start climbing it."
