Kardashian fans have a theory about the new Hulu series. They think the new reality series won’t make it past Season 1. They called the show “disappointing” since it’s not as hot as Keeping Up with the Kardashians. However, this isn’t the first time that fans are disappointed in the famous family.

They’ve been accused of false storylines in the past. Viewers also noticed how different the Hulu series looks from old episodes of KUWTK. They accused the family of using face filters on camera while filming. Fans think that the lack of “storylines” will lead to a potential cancelation.

Hulu’s new series becomes the most-watched in America

The Kardashians had a strong start. Per Variety, it had the most-watched premiere in America. On Wednesday, April 20, Khloe Kardashian took to her Instagram feed to share the news with her fans. She posted a screenshot from the article.

Hulu’s records stemmed from the premiere episode, which streamed on April 14. It was the most-watched show in the first three days of its release. However, the streaming service did not reveal viewing numbers for that episode. The platform doesn’t share specific ratings. So, it’s unclear how Hulu got that information in the first place.

“‘The Kardashians’ is the most-watched series premiere on Hulu in the United States, and on Disney+ and Star+ among Star Originals, across all global markets to date,” a Hulu spokesperson told Variety at the time.

It’s common for streaming services to never reveal viewership data. However, it’s likely that most fans wanted to tune into the first episode of The Kardashians out of sheer curiosity. They wanted to know how this reality show was any different from KUWTK.

The Kardashians is a more elevated version of the original series that made the family famous. It’s more of a documentary-style, in which the family can break the fourth wall if they wanted to. The show still focuses on their personal lives, but it shifts the focus to their respective businesses and personal brands. The details of Hulu’s deal with the Kardashian-Jenner family weren’t disclosed, but the family reportedly received nine figures.

Could The Kardashians get canceled?

Fans aren’t sold on the show. They don’t think The Kardashians will last longer than a season or two. They feel that it’s even more fabricated than the other series. Fans have shared their opinions on Reddit on what they think it would take for the show to get canceled. It has received its share of poor reviews in recent weeks.

One said that there’s too much “fluff” and too few “storylines.” Another argued that they drag out the storylines. Others called the show an advertisement for their business ventures. The Kardashians focus on business, while KUWTK focused on family.

The new series doesn’t have the heart and personality that the original series did. What are your thoughts? Do you think The Kardashians will get canceled? Do you think it will last as long as KUWTK? Sound off below in the comment section.

  1. I think the new Hulu Original streaming series “The Kardashians” should make it for a season and a half or more and it should return for another season as well, it’s still good! and better than the original KUWTK, what do you all think?!

    1. Lol that’s your opinion! My opinion is, that it shouldn’t make it to another season, because it’s scripted and fake! These people are only famous for being famous! Don’t see the attraction people have with this vulgar attention seeking family!

  2. I was over a friend’s house who has Hulu and caught the show. It was boring and frankly played out. The only interesting thing was Travis and Kourtney. I think all the materialism in this day and time with everything going on is a bit inappropriate to be honest. They look ridiculous and self absorbed.

  3. The REAL world is tackling REAL LIFE issues and we honestly do not have time for make believe; at least the majority amongst us don’t. Basically, celebs , whatever that means, do not know or exist in my real world. Reality TV needs to disappear at this point as the the real reality is US trying just to keep our heads above water. JUNETEENTH should be an episode of the Kardashians. After all, they are raising Black kids who need to know their history.

  4. They are so above most of our problems now. People are struggling and may be looking to see relatable content not celebrities showing off their wealth and plugging their products. They don’t struggle to pay bills with rising cost. They have no family members being diagnosed with cancer, or heart disease. Mothers with breast cancer still needing to work through cancer therapy and still do all the things these people don’t have to do like go to the grocery store, cook dinner, etc etc. Real people, real problems is what people may be looking for at this stage in the game. Or no tv at all, no celebrities at all. Just busting it to survive.

  5. Never watched this show one day in my life. Life has changed so much since I came up in 90’s. We used to live life never be home now people have nothing better to do that makes talentless whores rich and get people paid for “reviewing” music, movies and comedy. F’ing hilarious. No wonder this country so sideways. Put your phones down, get off the desktop and live your life. It goes by in the blink of an eye. Peace and love

  6. If you must put on a reality show, do one that is honest, genuine, with people relatable. The Kardashians excess display of wealth is insulting. There is nothing humble about them and honestly everyone who tunes in and keeps following them on their pages and buy their products and believe in their products just keeps perpetuating their culture of excessiveness and narcissism.

  7. Agree with Tony and Debra; when will it all end, reality TV? To actually have a family flaunting their ill gained wealth in Americans faces who have lost children in mass shootings. I bet they never even discuss what’s going on in the country on this show do they? Why would they if they aren’t affected. Could never happen in their world, only ours. That’s what’s so disturbing about rich people. They have no empathy for anyone. And, they have a nerve to try and play the victim when they get cheated on, yet and still they keep allowing it to happen. Any network or streaming service that would carry or promote something in such poor taste, does not deserve my money. Yea, you Hulu. I fail to believe that this show has gotten good ratings. The January 6 committee hearings were informative and interesting. I spend my time watching programs that educate me about issues and policies affecting my life. Who cares about how many babies unwed women can make with men who use them as doormats over and over. What a way to try and stay relevant. and continue to be viewed as fools by most of America. One things for sure, money hasn’t brought them happiness, just a lot of material things and attention they lacked as kids. Do better MEDIA!

  8. I refuse to pay a subscription to watch the Kardashians. For the love of money, they quit E and Hulu thought that would bring them more viewers, Not! I don’t find them interesting enough to pay to watch them, I only watched on regular tv when nothing else was on. I really stopped watching when Scott was not on the show anymore or not as much. Scott was the only one who was really interesting.

    1. Scott was and is a useless POS. Kortney was a stupid b×××ch for continuing with him. She forgave over and over but still hates her mom for her past mistake. As far as I’m concerned I dont care to see either Kortney or Scott. As for the new show, it’s boring and seems like it’s a documentary. Whom ever came up with this format for the show is way off. What made kuwtk so popular was, you felt like you really knew them, now they seem like they’re just reporting what’s going on in their lives not allowing you to see anything. On top of that, they just show off their fricking houses now. I’m very disappointed. I dont care that they’re richer than rich now, that’s fine, the problem is the entire show seems fake now.

    1. as long as there is no drama involving their personal lives the show will be a flop i wanna see deep scandals like that triston thompson and jordyn woods drama even kim and kortney fight was interesting even bruce jenner changing into caitlin was also fun to watch, it was hillirious.
