Here's what to expect from their upcoming new show, The Kardashians
Fifteen years ago, Keeping Up With The Kardashians ushered in a new era of reality TV. Charting the rise of America’s most famous family across 20 series, it’s easy to forget that it was once a ground-breaking format, a phenomenon that spawned countless imitations.
The final season aired last year, but the First Family of reality TV couldn’t stay off our screens for long. On 14 April, Kris, Khloé, Kourtney, Kendall, Kylie and Kim are back with new series, on Disney +, and they’re reinventing the reality show once more, moving away from soap opera-style melodramatics for a glossier, smarter, documentary-style show, in a bid to keep the brand feeling fresh and relevant.
Presented as a more meta, behind-the- scenes delve into how the Kardashian machine operates within the celebrity news cycle , the family have enlisted Emmy-winning, TV producer Ben Winston, the man who launchedWinston is renowned in the industry for creating ratings-winning moments, having directed Friends: The Reunion and ITV’s An Audience With Adele.
As for the rest of the family, the show will follow Kourtney’s engagement to Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker . For Khloé, her heartache after her ex, Tristan Thompson, admitted in January that he fathered a child with another woman while he was still in a relationship with her will be covered. But the true test of The Kardashians will be if it addresses the Astroworld incident – when 10 people were killed when fans were crushed against a stage – which involved Kylie’s partner, Travis Scott.
The new show is a pivotal moment for the wider Kardashian empire if it wants to remain relevant. Regardless of how the new series is received, a second series has already been confirmed. So, for now at least, we’ll be keeping up with the Kardashians for a little longer.
