At one point in the two-minute teaser, Simpson could be seen angrily tossing a drink onto another character before quickly cutting to another scene.
Over on X, one penned: 'I love to see Jessica Simpson returning to acting. She's an underrated actress.'
Simpson has taken on roles in a number of films over the years such as The Dukes Of Hazzard (2005), Employee Of The Month (2006) and Blonde Ambition (2007).
She also had a recurring role in the hit series That '70s Show during the fifth season where she played the character of Annette.
Her last credit is when she voiced herself in the animated series Duncanville for one episode back in 2022.
Jessica has recently put her main focus into her clothing brand as well as diving back into her music roots.

Other celebrities that have been cast in the project in recurring roles include Brooke Shields, Meryl Steep's daughter Grace Gummer and Ed O'Neil.
While most plot details have remained under wraps, cast member Sarah Paulson has briefly opened up about what viewers can expect.
The actress - who is no stranger to working with Ryan Murphy - also gushed about working with Kim during an interview with Yahoo Entertainment last year.
'I think it is absolutely time for people to take Kim Kardashian seriously as an actress. She was absolutely excellent in American Horror Story: Delicate.'
She also added, 'I think the show we're about to do together is going to be a tremendous amount of fun and she's going to be glorious on it. I have absolutely no doubt about that. Zero.'
Simpson's return to the screen comes nearly five months since she announced her split from husband Eric Johnson back in January.
At the time, the singer revealed the separation in a statement to People and shared: 'Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage.
'Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.'
The pair tied the knot in 2014 and also share three children: Maxwell, 13, Ace, 11, and Birdie, six.
Two months earlier in March, Jessica dropped her latest EP titled Nashville Canyon: Part 1 which contains a total of five tracks including Use My Heart Against Me and Blame Me.
In one song titled Leave, the star seemingly hinted that Johnson may have cheated on her following their heartbreaking split.
During a joint interview with sister Ashlee Simpson for The Cut in February, Jessica talked about creating the album.
'Making this record wasn't about having a hit. It was just about having a vibe. There's really not a lot of that in L.A. right now. It's formulaic,' she explained.
'I wanted to break that mold for myself personally. I don't care if anything's a hit. I'm not with a record label. I don't expect it to even be on the radio.'
The singer then told her sister Ashlee, 'I appreciate that you realize how deeply rooted, in unexpected ways, this project is for me to set myself apart from old versions of myself. It's not like it's not me singing.'
Jessica has been keeping busy and recently enjoyed a lavish trip to Paris as she rung in Mother's Day and also her daughter Maxwell's 13th birthday.
The mom-of-three uploaded an assortment of photos from the special getaway - and was also joined by her mother Tina.
One snap was taken as both Jessica and Maxwell sat on a comfy couch inside their hotel room with the Eiffel Tower lit up behind them.
The trio explored the city by stopping by museums and a number of restaurants in the city.
'Happy Mother's Day to ALL! Life doesn't come with instructions… it comes with Mamas! A Mother's love is something no one could ever explain,' the actress penned to her followers.
'It is made up of deep devotion, compassion, protection, sacrifice, comfort, persistency, intuition, hope, faithfulness, stamina and courage.
'It is because of my Mother that I have learned that love begins not from being perfect (although it is profound perfect love), but by the very root of being present and consistent,' she added.
'For everything I am today, my Mother's love showed me the way. There is no role in my life more essential than that of motherhood.…'
Simpson also gushed about her eldest daughter and revealed that her own mom Tina 'surprised us with the most beautiful celebration of Parisian life and love.
'3 generations 3 connected hearts 3 spirit filled souls 3 women who smile, laugh and shine brighter through it all. It is official...I AM THE MOTHER OF A TEENAGER and I LOVE IT.'
