"KUWTK" no longer felt like an exclusive look into the Kardashian-Jenner world. No one substantively addressed why the family couldn't forgive Woods but did welcome back Thompson. The show gave no special insight into how Kylie felt about her best friend's betrayal of her sister. By then, Woods had already given her side of the story on "Red Table Talk," every person in the Kardashian circle had weighed in multiple times on social media, and fans had dissected who was still following who to figure out how relationships had changed. Then, in February 2019, when Thompson cheated on Khloé with Kylie's best friend, Jordyn Woods, fans had to wait until June to see the "KUWTK" spin on the drama. How was Khloé really feeling? What was her relationship with Thompson like now? When the episodes finally aired, it felt like a letdown. But in the months after the birth, they'd already seen Thompson on the family's social media pages again.
When Thompson was caught cheating on Khloé days before she gave birth to their child in April 2018, fans had to wait all the way until November to see what the cameras captured.
Perhaps no moment showed this more than the ups and downs of Khloé's relationship with NBA player Tristan Thompson. He never even filmed a talking head until the season 16 premiere.Īs their social media presences became a bigger part of the Kardashian family's footprint, the show was no longer the destination for Kardashian-Jenner drama - the internet was. For many seasons, he hovered in the background on the edges of the camera. Kim's husband, Kanye West, famously didn't want to be part of the show. Viewers had front-row seats.īut over time, things changed. For example, Kourtney's relationship with Scott Disick and Khloé's marriage to (and divorce from) Lamar Odom both played out over multiple seasons with all the accompanying twists and turns. "KUWTK" was essential to their development into mega celebrities and gave us a lot of access into their private lives. Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney Kardashian and Kris, Kylie, and Kendall Jenner are, at this point, six of the most famous people in the world. And after watching the two episodes of "The Kardashians" that Hulu made available to critics, I'm left wondering why anyone thinks we need a new Kardashian show at all. So it was surprising when three months after the announcement, they shared that they would have a new show coming to Hulu called simply "The Kardashians." They promised it would be different than "KUWTK," though they never really explained how. Kourtney Kardashian's desire to stop filming even became part of the show's plot. The show - and their lives - had been completely transformed since 2007, as had the world around them. When the Kardashians announced that their reality show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" was ending after 14 years and 20 seasons, it made a lot of sense.
