The Kardashians are back! After Keeping Up With The Kardashians came to an end in June last year, the Kardashian-Jenner family is officially returning to our screens with their very own Hulu show, simply titled The Kardashians.
The show was originally announced in December 2020 and now, its premiere is upon us. So, here’s everything we know about the series so far, ahead of its release in April.
Who is in The Kardashians?
If the trailer and clips released via the official Instagram account are anything to go by, you’re going to see all the usual suspects from the Kardashian-Jenner clan: Kim, Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian, plus Kris, Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
There’s also going to be an appearance from Kourtney’s fiancé Travis Barker as well as her ex Scott Disick, Kim’s ex Kanye West as well as Khloé’s on-again/off-again partner Tristan Thompson.
Caitlyn Jenner will not feature in the series, while Rob Kardashian is expected to make a few appearances.
What is The Kardashians about? Here’s what we know so far
The new series will be more documentary-style than the original show, and Hulu/Disney Plus will launch two seasons, 40 episodes in total, according to Variety, and it will take us right up to current Kardashian-Jenner events.

We’ll get the behind-the-scenes gossip about Travis’ lavish proposal to Kourtney and an inside look at the breakup/drama between Kim and her now-ex Kanye West.
We’d stake money on the 41-year-old’s new boyfriend Pete Davidson making an appearance too, but not until season two, as Kim said in the same interview she hadn’t shot anything with the SNL comedian for the first series of the show.
The reality TV star added the programme will reveal ‘how we met and who reached out to who and how it happened and all the details that everyone wants to know.’
‘I’m definitely open to talking, and I will definitely explain it,’ she continued.
Fans will also get a glimpse of Kylie’s happy excitement as she prepares to give birth to her second child (a baby boy no longer called Wolf).
How to watch The Kardashians in the UK
The Kardashians is an original show for Hulu, a US-based streaming platform.
Unfortunately, it’s not available here in the UK. But that doesn’t mean Brits will miss out on the action.
The Kardashians will be available to stream exclusively on Disney Plus in the UK, beginning on the same day: Thursday, April 14.
Subscriptions for Disney Plus cost £7.99 a month, and include a host of other programmes, such as Grey’s Anatomy, The Dropout starring Amanda Seyfried, plus Daredevil, Jessica Jones and other Marvel TV series.
As for classic episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians (and all of its spin-offs), you’ll have to go elsewhere.
All 20 seasons of the original show will be available on HayU at £4.99 per month – though you can get a seven-day free trial.
Is there a trailer for The Kardashians?
An official trailer for the Hulu series was released two weeks ago. In a voiceover, you hear Kim explain how it was an adjustment for the family to live life without cameras.
‘It was a big change for us,’ she says, while Kylie talks about her very public second pregnancy and how she is ‘excited for this new chapter.’

Meanwhile, Travis and Kourtney are on cloud nine as they celebrate their engagement and begin to start a family, while Khloe tells Tristan Thompson that ‘trust takes time,’ describing their relationship as ‘complicated’ though it’s reportedly very much over between the pair.
