‘The Kardashians’ Returns to Hulu With Love, Reinvention and a Kim Health Scare: Here’s Where and When to Watch

Few families have kept viewers hooked for as long as the Kardashian-Jenners. The clan first took over television on E! with ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’, which ran from 2007 to 2021, before moving to Hulu in 2022 with a new series built around the same cast. Nearly two decades later, the appetite for their drama hasn’t faded.

The streaming era has changed how fans watch, too. Instead of cable appointments, viewers now follow a weekly Thursday rollout, with the show split between Hulu in the United States and Disney+ almost everywhere else. For anyone who lost track of the schedule during the long gap between seasons, it’s easy to get confused.

That gap is finally over. The new season of ‘The Kardashians’ premiered on Thursday, October 8, and the question on many fans’ minds is exactly where to watch it. In the U.S., it’s streaming on Hulu, and bundle subscribers can also watch through Hulu on Disney+, while international viewers can find it on Disney+. It’s been nearly a year since the last season dropped.

New episodes arrive weekly on Thursdays, with the first installment landing at 12 a.m. The first seven seasons are available to stream now, so newcomers and returning fans can catch up before diving in. Hulu hasn’t confirmed this season’s episode count, but each of the first seven ran 10 episodes, which would put the finale on December 10.

For viewers outside the U.S., Disney+ is the home for the show in supported markets, including Australia and Türkiye. Availability varies by region, so it’s worth checking your local listing.

The official synopsis frames the season as a new chapter that is all about love, reinvention and what comes next. Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian Barker, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner all return, balancing empire-building with more personal themes like unexpected sparks, new relationships, healing old wounds and embracing independence. Scott Disick, Caitlyn Jenner and Travis Barker also appear in previews.

The previous season ended on a surprising note, when Kris reached out to Caitlyn and the family said goodbye to their old house together. That reunion could shape the tone going forward. The series is executive produced by Ben Winston of Fulwell Entertainment, along with Danielle King, Emma Conway, Elizabeth Jones and Erin Foye, as well as the six family members themselves.

The trailer, released September 17, opens with Kris being asked how her daughters are getting along this season, and her answer suggests things have been bumpy. The most serious storyline involves Kim, who is shown in a hospital gown and says she has been diagnosed with esophagitis, becoming emotional as she reflects on her father’s death. It follows her revelation in the previous season that doctors had found a small aneurysm, which turned out to be benign.

Elsewhere, there’s tension between Kourtney and her sisters, with Kourtney saying her kids are her biggest priority and that she’s very happy with her life. Khloé talks about being single, and the trailer ends with her asking Kris whether she would carry her baby as a surrogate, prompting a stunned response. Kendall also addresses rumors that she once had a fling with Cara Delevingne, and Kim teases some details about her relationship with Lewis Hamilton.

Part of the buzz around the return comes from the family’s long-term plans. Khloé told The Hollywood Reporter that she has no end date in mind for the series, adding that the family intends to keep going as long as it stays enjoyable and people keep watching. For fans worried about the show wrapping up, that’s reassuring.

It also suggests the producers still see plenty of life in the format. After years of births, breakups, business launches and public feuds, the show has built a library that few reality series can match. Each new season adds another layer.

The new episodes appear to balance genuinely emotional moments with the humor that has always been a trademark of the family. Between the health scare, the sibling tension and the talk of new romances, the trailer shows a season with a bit of everything. It’s a familiar recipe, but one that still draws a loyal audience.

With weekly episodes through the fall, the show will likely stay in the conversation until the holidays. For fans, the first episode is already waiting.
