After wrapping up their long-running E! Network series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, in 2021, the family moved their brand to the Disney Company, which owns the streamer Hulu. One reason for the transition was to update how their fans viewed their show. According to Khloé, per Variety, technology was a major contributing factor.
“We wanted to be with someone that’s tech-forward, so we’re with the times,” Khloé tells the outlet. “For us to be still on cable was just not so on brand for us.”
In the first two seasons of The Kardashians, fans witnessed some pivotal moments in the family’s lives. One such example is the arrival of Khloé’s son, who is nearly nine months old. Another is the wedding prep for Kourtney and blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. The couple, celebrating their first anniversary later this month, had their special highlighting their three weddings. It premiered on April 13th on Hulu.
The third season drops May 25th and promises to be packed with drama but plenty of family support. There will also be personal struggles and rifts between specific family members.
As Scott Disick said in the season three teaser,
“I’ve never seen this much drama in my life.”
