THE Kardashians has been renewed for Season 6, amid fans’ pleas that the reality series not return.
On Thursday, it was revealed that Hulu has ordered 20 more episodes of the show, which would mean at least one more season.
At the same time, the streamer unveiled the Season 5 finale of The Kardashians, titled I Can’t Do This.
The season premiered on May 23 and has received mixed reviews from viewers.
“Next, let’s cancel The Kardashians show,” one person wrote on X.
“Can we just cancel the kardashians already I’ve never seen an attention craving family like them,” a second pleaded.
“30 minutes into the kardashians and its a lot of kendall and kourt (the two most boring sisters)… kim popped in once, baby cancel this s**t,” another said while watching an episode.
‘PLEASE STOP!’
“Can we please CANCEL the kardashians once and for all? I’m getting really really sick of them,” a fourth complained.
“@DisneyPlus please stop promoting the Kardashians. It makes me want to cancel my subscription to both Hulu and Disney. Stop giving a platform to people who do nothing for society,” a sixth stated.
The Kardashians stars family matriarch Kris, 68, and her five daughters, Kourtney, 45, Kim, 43, Khloé, 40, Kendall, 28, and Kylie, 26.
Despite the pushback, the reality TV series had the most-watched unscripted launch of 2024 on the platform in the United States and on Disney+ and Star in international territories.
The famous family has been documenting their lives for the cameras since the release of their original E! series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, in 2007.
They rebooted their show on Hulu shortly after announcing KUWTK’s cancellation in June 2021.
Since fans were first introduced to the Kar-Jenners, the family has added more members, including Kourtney’s spouse, Travis Barker, 48, and her and her siblings’ multiple children.
Most of the little ones have been featured on The Kardashians, and The U.S. Sun exclusively reported earlier this month that Kylie’s love interest, Timothée Chalamet, is considering being a part of the show.
A source previously told The U.S. Sun that the leader of the pack, Kris, intends to keep the series going for at least “10 more years.”

Kim has also acted on American Horror Story, received endorsements from numerous companies, and more making her net worth a little above $1 billion
However, concerns that the show might have lost its luster have begun to surface.
The insider revealed there’s a fear that the spinoff would become “too boring” if Kris got her way, and it lasted another decade.
“Kris’ view is that her kids are endlessly interesting no matter what happens with their love lives, their ex-husbands and their crazy side hustles,” the source said about the momager.
“Kris wants to keep this boat afloat but she doesn’t have a big strategy for making the show more exciting or important,” they added.
KRIS’ VISION
“She’s all about staying the course, plugging away, and not getting distracted by all the noise.”
Recently, a source told The U.S. Sun that the family has undoubtedly benefitted from the show, giving them a platform for their multiple brands.
However, they noted it “costs twice as much now” to film than it did 20 years ago when it was under NBC.
“Everybody is wondering if Kris can renew and grow their initial five-year deal or if it’s time to quit while they’re ahead,” the source said.
