The Kardashians will continue to plague our lives, in part thanks to a new deal inked with E!. The (albeit dysfunctional) family’s so-called reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians has been commissioned yet another five seasons that will carry the series through 2020.
The major renewal comes soon after the 10th anniversary of the show which first aired October 14, 2007, and has since launched the cultural deification of daughters Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kendell Jenner and Kylie Jenner under matriarch Kris Jenner. E! last renewed the Kardashian contract in February 2015, so the renewal has been long anticipated.
E! commented “we have aired 13 wildly successful seasons of the franchise as well as 11 spin-offs, and Season 14 is off to a strong start. We are incredibly proud of our partnership with the Kardashians, and they remain an important part of the E! family. We look forward to continuing our collaboration for years to come.”
Indeed, it seems there’s no comparing the global success seen by both the show and the enterprises it has subsequently launched, and the Kardashians are certainly an asset to the network.
