Kardashian family inks another massive deal with Hulu ahead of reality show’s third-season debut
HULU has decided to renew The Kardashians and give fans more episodes of the famous family.
Less than two weeks before the season three premiere, the popular streaming platform has renewed the series for another 20 episodes — bringing the series to at least season six, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. Since season one, 20 episodes have aired on Hulu in the last year within two seasons.
40 episodes were initially ordered with Hulu splitting between two seasons but ultimately decided to do 10 episodes a season.
If Hulu keeps it at 10 episodes a season, The Kardashians will go on at least through season six.
The series follows sisters Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kylie and Kendall, and mom Kris as they take on their hectic lives as A-list superstars. Kim recently went on Today to discuss the upcoming reality TV series.
The recent trailer for the newest season of The Kardashians showed Kourtney "livid" with her younger sister.
Kim, 42, opened up about her long-speculated feud with Kourtney, 44, during the chat on the morning show. Host Savannah Guthrie asked: "After all these years, are you ever like: 'I think I'm done with showing everyone this part of my life.'"
The star replied: "When we signed up for this we wanted to always be super open and honest and there's obviously different seasons where some people feel like they just have some boundaries and want to protect some things and then other people want to open up and share way more.
"I'm so blessed that there's so many of us that we can always respect each other's space."
Kim confessed: "This season was probably one of my - out of filming Keeping Up With the Kardashians or The Kardashians - this season was probably my most emotional and frustrating internally with family, that I haven't really seen or experienced before."
Savannah asked: "Why is that? They talk about some tension between you and your sister Kourtney over her wedding. Is that the source of it?"
"Yeah - and we've been there before and we'll always be okay. We're always family, that's how we were raised. But I'm also proud that everyone's really vulnerable because I'm sure so many other families have gone through similar things.
"Maybe on different levels or experiences but I'm proud that we're still so open and still driven to show and share so much," she admitted.
Savannah then asked Kim if there's an "aftermath" when she has arguments with her family once the episodes finally air.
"Yeah there's different cycles, you know you film it and we think we're good, and we make up and then you edit it and I'm seeing all the things she's saying about me behind my back and she's seeing all the things I'm saying about her behind her back.
"The tension rises all over again, and then you have to wait more months for the audience to see it and get everyone else's opinions. So it is a cycle, I think I like to look at it as therapy."
"But it gets really tricky and really emotional. But at the end of the day, we really love sharing our life and I don't see that changing anytime soon," Kim closed.
SIS DISS Leading up to the new season, Hulu released a recent trailer of Kim and Kourtney having an argument.
During some clips in the trailer, Kim and Kourtney appeared to be feuding.
In a sneak peek, Kendall asked Kim if she talked to Kourtney about Milan.
Kourtney angrily accused Kim of using her wedding as a "business opportunity."
The mom-of-four asked, "She's mad at me?"
In a confessional interview, Khloe, 38, said Kourtney was "livid."
"She felt like her wedding vibes were, like, stripped from her," Kendall, 27, said during a conversation between her and Kylie.
"I'm really confused how this narrative came into her head," Kim explained.
"I couldn't have been more mindful," Kim admitted to Khloe in another clip.
"I said 'Don't do anything that Kourtney wore to her wedding,'" Kim explained.
"I see both sides," Kendall admitted and Kylie agreed.
