Keeping Up With the Kardashians to end after Season 20
Keeping Up With the Kardashians will air its 20th and final season in early 2021, the Kardashian-Jenner family and E! announced Tuesday.
The show's 19th season will premiere on Sept. 17. On Twitter, Kim Kardashian West said it is "with heavy hearts that we've made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up With the Kardashians." She thanked fans for their support and said she is "so incredibly grateful to everyone who has watched," adding that "the show made us who we are and I will be forever in debt to everyone who played a role in shaping our careers and changing our lives forever."
The first episode of the reality series aired on Oct. 14, 2007, and since then, hundreds of episodes have been filmed and a dozen spin-offs have been launched. The show followed the Kardashian-Jenner clan through weddings, divorces, births, deaths, rivalries, Playboy photo shoots, ugly cries, and vacations where $75,000 diamond earrings were lost in the ocean and then miraculously found.
