A deliberate decision? After the fifth season of the Hulu series premiered, KarJenners are making up theories as to why Timothée Chalamet isn’t in The Kardashians. Despite dating Kylie Jenner, there was no sign of the Academy Award-nominated star.
The first episode of season 5 of The Kardashians was filmed at Paris Fashion Week which took place from September 25, 2023 to October 3, 2023. During the same time, Timothée accompanied the Sprinter founder at Rosalía’s 31st birthday bash.
The Dune actor also didn’t appear in season 4 of the Hulu series. Producer Ben Winston said that they’re keeping Timothée’s involvement under wraps. “No comment,” Winston said to Variety. “Nothing I can say can bring me good things on that. If I say I hope to, then suddenly that’s a headline, and suddenly I don’t get any access. I can’t win on that. So I can just say that we haven’t filmed anything.”
The week before the premiere, fans were speculating about the Call Me By Your Name actor’s role in The Kardashians after a trailer was released. The Kardashian family donned very desert-like attire to promote a sneak peek of the new season. Many people thought that it alluded to Timothée’s blockbuster hit Dune, with fans commenting “Kylie in her Dune era…” and “It’s giving Dune?”
Kylie and Timothée made their first official event together when they attended WSJ Magazine‘s Innovators Award in New York City on Wednesday, November 1, 2023. They didn’t walk the red carpet together, but they were photographed smiling and laughing next to one another, seated at the same table in the Museum of Modern Art.
Neither of them has commented on the relationship publicly, but in an interview with MTV, he made an offhand comment that people think was a cute reference to his girlfriend. When asked to reflect on his “best concert experience of 2023”, Timmy had seemingly forgotten that he was at Beyoncé: “I don’t know if I went to any concerts in 2023,” he said. The reporter chimed in: “You went to Beyoncé.” Tim started giggling and then said, “Oh, yes yes yes. That was great.” He added, “Hard to be present.”
The Kardashians is available to stream on Hulu. New episodes drop on Thursdays.
