The Kardashians: How to Watch Every Kardashian TV Show in Order

The Kardashian-Jenner clan is back with the sixth season of The Kardashians. The latest season delves into another year with sisters Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, and matriarch Kris Jenner. It provides a peek into their professional and personal worlds as they manage work relationships, parenting, and fame. Those keen on a comprehensive history of the renowned family can refer to our guide on watching all Kardashian TV series in sequence.

The Kardashians' meteoric rise to popularity came through their entrepreneurial pursuits and connections to stars like Paris Hilton. Their close-knit, lavish family life made them ideal candidates for a reality series. In 2007, their first reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, debuted. The show focused on Kris Jenner and her three daughters from her first marriage to Rob Kardashian, capturing their professional journeys and relationships. It also highlighted celebrities linked to the family, such as Lamar Odom, Scott Disick, Blac Chyna, and Tristan Thompson.

As with most reality series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians elicited mixed viewer reactions due to its entertainment-driven content. However, it was a captivating guilty pleasure for many, evidenced by its status as one of E!'s top-rated shows with 20 seasons. Its success fueled a slew of spinoff series, allowing a closer look at pivotal career moments or fan-favorite pairs among the sisters.

The first spinoff, Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami (renamed Kourtney and Kim Take Miami for its third season), chronicled Kourtney, Khloé, and Kim's journey in Miami as they launched another D-A-S-H fashion boutique. The store's expansion to New York inspired another spinoff, Kourtney and Kim Take New York. By 2011, fan-favorite couple Khloé and then-husband Lamar received their series, Khloé & Lamar. The only Kardashian son, Rob Kardashian, received a similar show with his then-girlfriend, Chyna: Rob & Chyna.

As the family adapted to the realm of reality TV, some members landed specialty spinoffs showcasing their passions or personal stories. In 2015, Caitlyn Jenner received her series, I Am Cait, documenting her gender transition. Khloé explored talk shows and beauty transformations with Kocktails with Khloé and Revenge Body with Khloé Kardashian, while Kylie spotlighted her makeup brand and business endeavors in Life of Kylie. By 2022, the Kardashians and Jenners reunited for The Kardashians, a new take on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
