Hulu has renewed "The Kardashians" for an additional 20 episodes, ahead of the third season premiere. The unscripted series features Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian Barker, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner.
The announcement was made during Disney's upfront presentation to Madison Avenue ad buyers on Tuesday. The show is produced by Fulwell 73's Ben Winston, with executive producers including Emma Conway, Elizabeth Jones, showrunner Danielle King, Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Khloé Kardashian, and Kourtney Kardashian.
Hulu, which does not disclose traditional viewership data, stated that the series premiere of "The Kardashians" holds the record as the most-watched debut in the history of the platform. It also remains the most-watched unscripted series in Hulu's history.
After announcing the end of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" after 20 seasons and 14 years, the Kardashian family secured a straight-to-series order for "The Kardashians" on Hulu in December 2020. The E! series concluded in 2021, and the Hulu show premiered in the spring of 2022.
Currently, 20 episodes of the series have already aired, all in 2022. Originally, the show was ordered for 40 episodes spanning two seasons. Hulu, backed by Disney, decided to split the seasons and distribute the show across multiple quarters of the year. By maintaining its 10-episode seasons, the recent order of 20 episodes ensures that "The Kardashians" will continue streaming on Hulu through season six.
