Keeping up with the Kardashians, one of America’s most loved shows has revealed that their long-running reality series, will see its final season in 2021.
On Tuesday evening, Kim Kardashian West posted a statement to social media announcing that the family had made the “difficult decision to say goodbye to Keeping Up With the Kardashians” after its 20th season, which will air in early 2021.
“We are beyond grateful to all of you who’ve watched us for all these years, through the good times, the bad times, the happiness, the tears, and the many relationships and children,
“We’ll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we’ve met along the way.”
“Without Keeping Up with the Kardashians, I wouldn’t be where I am today,” she added. “This 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 statement was also shared by Kris Jenner, the family’s “mom-ager”. The post was signed by the three Kardashian sisters – Kourtney, Kim and Khloé, their mother, their brother Rob, their half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner and Scott Disick, the father of Kourtney’s three children.
