How to keep up with the Kardashians: A guide to all their TV series from the spin-offs to the big shows
Sure, we've kept up with the Kardashians for as long as we can remember, but who hasn't? Through 20 seasons and more than 14 years, we've been with them through thick and thin and we've all watched their A-List empire take over the world from one business venture to another.
And along the way, there have been some unforgettable moments. From the old days when Kim lost her diamond earring in the ocean and Kourtney delivered that *iconic* line, to when Kim was taking selfies in the car as Khloé was driven to jail, the Kardashian-Jenner clan have grown to be just as famous as the Royal Family. In fact, they're probably America's version of the Royal Family.
But as KUWTK ended last year, it marked the end of an era, and the beginning of a new one as the famous family announced their new Hulu and Disney+ (in the UK) show would air in 2022, simply titled The Kardashians. So as we wait *impatiently* for the new show to hit our screens, we're going to need something to keep us going in the meantime. Cue the many beloved spin-offs that E! spawned, and a whole back catalogue of OG Keeping Up With The Kardashians episodes.
If you're ready for an almighty Kardashian binge, here's the ultimate guide to all the TV series from the big shows to the spin-offs, plus how to watch them in order. You're welcome.
Keeping up with the Kardashians - 2007
Okay, let's start with the obvious. It's October 2007, we were busy watching The Hills nonstop, Britney had just released her Blackout album and Beyoncé was bringing out the slide up B-phone as part of her partnership with Samsung. It was a truly a time. Then out of nowhere this chaotic family landed on our screens. Little did we know what the show would become.
Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami/Kourtney and Kim Take Miami - 2009
Back in 2009, the first Kardashian spin-off premiered, and it lasted three seasons. As the DASH girls prepared to expand their very first empire, Kourtney and Khloé headed to Miami, later followed by Kim to open up and help operate their new new store.
The series was filled with classic Kardashian storylines, including relationships, job opportunities, and employee drama. And who could forget Kourtney's major life moment when she found out she was pregnant with Mason?
Cue the first generation of Kardashian kids to make their TV debut. Oh, and Kourtney's beau at the time Scott Disick was also present in later eps, too.
Keeping up with the Kardashians: The Wedding - 2009
When Khloé announced her and beau Lamar wanted a wedding in just 9 days, momager Kris pulled it out the bag. (They forgot to tell Caitlyn at first, though.)
Kourtney and Kim Take New York - 2011
For the second spin-off it was New York, as eldest sisters Kourtney and Kim set their sights on the big apple. Much like the Miami series, the show saw them running their new NYC DASH store from 2011 to 2012.
There's always a running theme throughout any Kardashian show, in that drama always finds its way to the sisters. Back in the early 2010s though, it was still Kourtney's time to shine, as the show documented the theatrics of her relationship with Scott. It was a common occurrence throughout many of the shows until the pair decided to call it quits for good in 2015 after being together on and off for 10 years, and having 3 children together.
Season 2 of the show also ended up following the breakdown of Kim's relationship with Kris Humphries, who she was infamously married to for 72 days. And for hardcore Kardashian fans, you'll know that her future husband Kanye West also made an appearance, although at the time, the two were just friends.
Khloé & Lamar - 2011
Khloé's turn now, as her whirlwind romance with former NBA player Lamar Odom was heavily documented over the course of 2011 to 2012, two years after the pair got hitched. In this series, Khloé fans got the inside scoop on her relationship, and got to see how her and Lamar lived day to day life.
This show was fairly light-hearted with some heavier topics sprinkled in for good measure. From Khloé's brother Rob Kardashian's frequent hang-outs, to Lamar's strained relationship with his father, for the most part it was typically a pretty good watch.
However, one year after the show finished, Khloé filed for divorce.
Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event - Part 1&2 - 2011
Part one shows Kim preparing to get hitched to Kris Humphries in her dream fairytale wedding. Part two follows the dramas leading up to the nuptials, and the big day itself. Special guests included 2000s icons Ciara and Lindsay Lohan.
Kendall's Sweet 16 - 2011
Well, 2011 was a busy year for the Kar-Jenners. Marriages, births and of course Kendall's sweet 16. The whole thing was actually just a little awkward since Kris wanted to throw the party of the century, and Kendall... er, did not.
Ryan Seacrest with the Kardashians - 2013
Ryan Seacrest, KUWTK's co-creator and executive producer was in front of the camera this time as he interviewed the Kardashian-Jenner family over dinner. During the ep, they spoke all things KUWTK and discussed their success as reality-TV stars.
A Very Merry Christmas - 2013
This was the episode that gave the world the iconic Kardashian-Jenner Christmas card. It also showed the family opening presents together and revisiting old home footage of past Christmases. Cute!
Kourtney and Khloé Take The Hamptons - 2014
In 2014, Kourtney, Khloé (and Scott) took us back to DASH life, as cameras followed them opening up a pop-up store in Southampton Village, Long Island, NY. Just like the store, the series only lasted one season, but it was still packed with plenty of drama - particularly from Kourt and Scott.
Keeping Up: Kardashian Rewind - 2015
The family got nostalgic in this one-off episode, as they looked back at the storylines and clips of the show that made them who they are today. The ep also showed an exclusive look at Season 11.
Keeping Up: Kardashians Family Rules
This was Kylie's 18th birthday special, and documented her party at Bootsy Bellows in LA. Other highlights included Kim moving back in with her mum, and Kris Jenner having genetic testing done. Caitlyn Jenner also appeared in this ep.
Keeping Up: Kardashians on Vacation
Over the years, we've watched the Kardashian-Jenner clan embark on some trips that we could only ever *dream* of going on. From Bora Bora, to Montana, Thailand to Greece, this special ep looked back at their most eventful vacations.
I Am Cait - 2015
The next spin-off from the Kardashian-Jenner clan was a much more serious one. In 2015, I Am Cait presented a closer look at Jenner's life as a transgender woman, and often placed focus on issues affecting the trans community.
Of course there were also many appearances from the Kardashian-Jenner kids, and many highlights too. Particular moments include when Kylie first met Caitlyn on FaceTime and when Kanye told her that he thought "this is one of the strongest things that have happened in our existence as human beings that are so controlled by perception."
The show ran for two seasons.
DASH Dolls - 2015
Who remembers this? When the DASH employees got their own one season spin-off show in 2015, it was up to Khloé's pals Malika and Khadijah Haqq to take the lead. The series followed the lives and relationships of the employees at the DASH West Hollywood store, (or "dolls" as they were known) and focused on the stress and drama that came with representing the ever-evolving Kardashian brand.
And of course it couldn't be a Kardashian show without the appearances of the sisters. During the season, there were a few cameos from all three of the DASH founders, Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé.
Rob & Chyna - 2016
Rob Kardashian was also granted his own show back in 2016 with his then-fiancée Blac Chyna. It came as the couple announced they were expecting a baby together, and when Dream was born, there was an hour-long special surrounding her birth.
Life of Kylie - 2017
Kylie also got her own spin-off show, and it proved to be the last one from the Kardashian-Jenner family. The show followed a 19-year-old Jenner and her then best friend Jordyn Woods as she navigated her newly launched Kylie Cosmetics. The show only lasted one season, but tbh, Kylie was probably a bit too busy planning for her future Forbes cover shoot.
10th Anniversary Special - 2017
What is says on the tin, really. Ryan Seacrest sits down again with the sisters and Kris to reflect back on some of the most monumental and *iconic* events in their lives.
A Very Kardashian Holiday - 2017
Kris, Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé prepare for the holiday season and show viewers how the Kardashians do it. From sharing tips about decorating to baking competitions, there was also a surprise guest - pro figure skater Nancy Kerrigan.
Kim's 38th Birthday - 2018
This one-off show was a combination of Kim's favourite old episodes and clips from friends and family. Chrissy Tiegen and John Legend also congratulated her on her 38th birthday, but one thing that fans were confused about on this ep was the absence of Kylie.
Kourtney’s Pop-Up Birthday! - 2019
This episode celebrated Kourtney's 40th birthday, and featured fun BTS facts about the family and the show to date.
E! True Hollywood Story: Who is Kim Kardashian West? - 2019
This E! special profiled Kim's life and career as reality star Kim Kardashian West. She opened up about her rise to fame, the pressures of life in the spotlight, and celebrated her success. Khloé said in the show: "She's a trailblazer for social media", and ex-husband Kanye West said: "We've just begun to untap the power that she has."
Kards Konfidential - 2020
This was another exclusive BTS episode that showed fun facts about the family as they geared up for the season 18 premiere.
Happy 40th Birthday, Kim! - 2020
The last of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians one-off episodes, this one showed Kim being upset that she couldn't celebrate her 40th birthday properly due to Covid. And so, in true Kardashian-Jenner style, her family and friends hired out a private *Covid free* island during the lockdown so she could celebrate with everyone she loves. Wouldn't it be nice, eh?
