‘The Kardashians’ Season Premiere: Where and When to Watch the New Episodes
Few families have captivated audiences quite like the Kardashian-Jenners. They first took the television world by storm on E! with ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’, which aired from 2007 to 2021, before transitioning to Hulu in 2022 with a fresh series featuring the same beloved cast. Nearly two decades later, the public’s fascination with their drama remains strong.
The streaming era has transformed how fans engage with the show. Instead of traditional cable viewing, episodes now roll out weekly on Thursdays, with the series available on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ in most other regions. For those who may have lost track during the lengthy hiatus between seasons, it can be a bit confusing.
That wait is finally over. The latest season of ‘The Kardashians’ premiered on Thursday, October 8, and many fans are eager to know where they can watch it. In the U.S., it streams on Hulu, and bundle subscribers can also access it through Hulu on Disney+. International viewers can find it on Disney+, though availability may vary by region.
New episodes will be released weekly on Thursdays, with the first episode available at 12 a.m. The first seven seasons are currently available for streaming, allowing both new viewers and returning fans to catch up before diving into the latest drama. While Hulu hasn’t confirmed the episode count for this season, previous seasons typically featured 10 episodes, suggesting the finale could air on December 10.
For those outside the U.S., Disney+ serves as the platform for the show in supported markets, including Australia and Türkiye. It’s advisable to check local listings for specific availability.
The season is framed as a new chapter focused on love, reinvention, and what lies ahead. Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian Barker, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner all return, navigating their business ventures alongside personal themes such as new relationships and healing past wounds. Scott Disick, Caitlyn Jenner, and Travis Barker also make appearances in the previews.
The previous season concluded with an unexpected twist, as Kris reached out to Caitlyn and the family bid farewell to their old home together. This reunion could influence the series’ tone moving forward. The show is executive produced by Ben Winston of Fulwell Entertainment, along with Danielle King, Emma Conway, Elizabeth Jones, Erin Foye, and the six family members themselves.
The trailer, released on September 17, begins with Kris being asked about her daughters’ relationships this season, hinting at some bumps along the way. A significant storyline involves Kim, who is seen in a hospital gown discussing her diagnosis of esophagitis, becoming emotional as she reflects on her father’s passing. This follows her previous season revelation about a benign aneurysm.
Tension also arises between Kourtney and her sisters, with Kourtney emphasizing her children as her top priority and expressing happiness in her life. Khloé discusses her single status, and the trailer concludes with her asking Kris if she would consider being a surrogate for her, leaving Kris visibly shocked. Additionally, Kendall addresses rumors about a past fling with Cara Delevingne, while Kim teases details about her relationship with Lewis Hamilton.

The excitement surrounding the return of the show is heightened by the family’s long-term plans. Khloé shared with The Hollywood Reporter that there is no set end date for the series, indicating that they intend to continue as long as it remains enjoyable and viewers keep tuning in. This is reassuring news for fans concerned about the show’s future.
It also suggests that producers see continued potential in the format. After years filled with births, breakups, business ventures, and public disputes, the series has amassed a library that few reality shows can rival. Each new season adds another layer to their ongoing saga.
The upcoming episodes promise to blend heartfelt moments with the humor that has always characterized the family. With health scares, sibling dynamics, and new romances on the horizon, the trailer hints at a season rich with variety. It’s a familiar formula, yet one that continues to attract a dedicated audience.
With new episodes airing weekly through the fall, the show is likely to remain a hot topic until the holiday season. For fans, the first episode is ready for viewing now.
