What the Collapse of Those Kardashian Spin-offs Really Reveal
The failed spin-off series featuring the Kardashian family prove one show with them is more than enough.
In September 2020, viewers didn't seem all that surprised when Kim Kardashian announced on social media that the family had decided to shutter their longstanding reality series Keeping Up With the Kardashians. After years of the younger sisters Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner selectively choosing which family filming events they would participate in and which they would skip, older sister Kourtney Kardashian joined in the crusade to limit her time on camera and draw firm boundaries around what parts of her life would be shared. That left Kim and middle sister Khloé Kardashian to shoulder the burden of sharing their personal stories on the series to help maintain the illusion that the show still delivered on its promise of exposing the "reality" of this family and their glamorous lives ascending the Hollywood ladder.
