After 19 seasons, the Kardashian-Jenner family announced yesterday that the beloved ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ is coming to an end after their 20th season is released early 2021. It has been 13 years of meme-worthy moments and dramatic blow-ups that have captured the attention of over 1 million viewers since its debut in 2007. Kim Kardashian-West broke the news yesterday afternoon with an instagram post stating, “It is with heavy hearts that we’ve made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” along with thanking everyone who has made their success possible.

Fans Mourn the End of Era

Kim Kardashian-West was once an assistant to Paris Hilton before landing her own spin-off show, KUWTK which put her family in the spotlight and boosted each of her family members’ career. Over the past 13 years, Kim K has created a billion dollar makeup brand, Kylie Jenner became the world’s youngest billionaire through her business endeavors, and Kendall Jenner is one of the highest paid models. We watched five sisters grow up in a wealthy Calabasas neighborhood and become one of the world’s most successful families in a little over a decade. Viewers have been there for Kim’s 72 day marriage, when Kris videotaped her daughter’s Playboy shoot, and when the sisters have gotten into physical confrontations. For this reason, it has been difficult for KUWTK fans to handle the news of its last season.

No Hard Feelings

This isn’t to say the Kardashians are for everyone. In fact, they have definitely received hate throughout their years on screen and many are glad to see them go. Between backlash for Kim and Khloe’s cultural appropriation and Kylie’s “self-made” billionaire status, it hasn’t always been Health Nut salad bowls and Yeezy fashion shows for this Calabasas family. While some people are taking this news to heart, others seem to be thankful the family is no longer being given air-time.
