The Kardashians Signs Multi-Year Deal With Hulu
The Kardashians are moving to Hulu.
Following the news that keeping up with the Kardashians will air its 20th and final season on E! in 2021, Hulu announced on Thursday, Dec. 10 that the family will create exclusive content for the streaming service after the hit E! series’ ending next year.
The multi-year deal was announced during Disney’s Investor’s Day today. “Announced today at Disney’s Investor Day, Kris, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie will create global content, which will stream exclusively on Hulu in the U.S. and in multiple territories on Star internationally,” the company shared. “Expected debut is late 2021 and additional details will be shared when available.”
“Excited to announce our new multi-year partnership with Hulu and Star and what’s to come in 2021 @hulu,” Kris Jenner tweeted about the news while Kourtney Kardashian added, “#HULU2021.”
Back in September, E! and the Kardashian-Jenner family announced KUWTK would end after its 20th season in 2021.
“It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Keeping Up with the Kardashians. After what will be 14 years, 20 seasons, hundreds of episodes and several spin-off shows, we’ve decided as a family to end this very special journey,” the family shared on social media. “We are beyond grateful to all of you who’ve watched us for all of these years—through the good times, the bad times, the happiness, the tears, and the many relationships and children. We’ll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we’ve met along the way.
“Thank you to the thousands of individuals and businesses that have been a part of this experience and most importantly, a very special thank you to Ryan Seacrest for believing in us, E! for being our partner, and our production team at Bunim/Murray who’ve spent countless hours filming our lives. Our last season will air early next year in 2021. We love you!”
E! added in a statement, “E! has been the home and extended family to the Kardashian-Jenners for what will be 14 years, featuring the lives of this empowering family. Along with all of you, we have enjoyed following the intimate moments the family so bravely shared by letting us into their daily lives. While it has been an absolute privilege and we will miss them wholeheartedly, we respect the family’s decision to live their lives without our cameras. It is not our final goodbye yet, we are excited to have the new season of Keeping up with the Kardashians launching on September 17 with the final season airing in 2021. We thank the entire extended family and our production partners, Bunim Murray and Ryan Seacrest Productions for embarking on this global phenomenon together.”
