Just when you thought the Kardashian content shuffle couldn’t get any messier, America’s most famous reality TV family has packed up its contour kits and moved back to Hulu. After a relatively quiet stint on Peacock, Keeping Up With the Kardashians is officially returning to its former streaming home, reuniting the original series with Hulu’s ongoing reboot, The Kardashians. For fans, binge-watchers and pop culture scholars alike, this move is very on-brand.
The Kardashians and Hulu have history. Before Peacock scooped up the rights to the original 20-season E! juggernaut, Hulu was where viewers went to relive Kim’s early fame era, Kris Jenner’s momager masterclasses and Scott Disick’s endless chaos. Peacock’s deal, which began in 2022, always felt more like a temporary rebound than a long-term relationship. Now, with that licensing agreement expired, Hulu has reclaimed the crown jewel of reality TV.
Hulu is already home to The Kardashians, the sleeker, slightly more self-aware successor series produced under the family’s Disney deal. Housing both shows on the same platform creates a seamless Kardashian cinematic universe, one where viewers can jump from early-season chaos straight into today’s highly curated luxury drama without switching apps. Convenience matters, especially when your audience is deeply committed to multi-season binge sessions.
There’s also a branding angle at play. Hulu benefits enormously from consolidating Kardashian content, reinforcing its reputation as a go-to streamer for buzzy unscripted TV. Peacock, meanwhile, loses one of its more reliable comfort-watch titles, a reminder that the streaming wars are often won and lost through library depth, not just shiny originals.
For longtime fans, the return of Keeping Up With the Kardashians to Hulu feels like coming home. For newer viewers who discovered the family through The Kardashians, it’s an invitation to see where the empire really began: shaky camera work, chaotic family dinners, and all.
As streaming platforms continue to reshuffle content like trading cards, the Kardashians remain uncanceled, unbothered and endlessly streamable. Hulu once again becomes Kardashian central and honestly, it’s exactly where they belong. Whether you’re revisiting classic episodes or diving in for the first time, the Kardashian takeover of Hulu is back on and reality TV lovers wouldn’t have it any other way.
