“We Were Supposed to Be a Filler Show Without a Second Season”

Keeping Up With The Kardashians first arrived on screens at the height of the noughties reality-TV boom. It could so easily have been overlooked in 2007 as just another candid-camera reality series, but instead the show ran for 14 very successful years on E!, sparking the rise of one of TV’s most famous dynasties.

Which, we think you will agree, says a lot about the Kardashian family and their ability to understand—and often define—the zeitgeist. When the news broke that KUWTK would be coming to an end (sob) this year with Series 20, which landed in March, matriarch Kris Jenner said that Khloé was the most torn-up about the decision.

We recently caught up with Khloé, who admitted that she didn’t even expect the show to get past the first season. “We were supposed to just be a filler show without a second season, so when we were filming [Season One] we just didn’t really think anything of it. And I think that’s what made it so much fun. We have also had pretty much the same production crew throughout, so all of the memories and friendships created with them and my family over the years has been the best,” she told us.

Cosmo: Did you ever consider quitting the show?
