Summary
- Kim Kardashian says Caitlyn Jenner's transition in 2015 bought the family "two more seasons" of their reality show
- Kardashian-Jenner clan surprised by the success of their show, which ran for 20 years before transitioning to Hulu

In a recent taping for The Graham Norton Show, Kim Kardashian revealed that Caitlyn Jenner's transition in 2015 played a pivotal role in the longevity of the Kardashian-Jenner family's reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The show, which premiered in 2007, ran for 20 seasons before transitioning to the family's new Hulu series, The Kardashians, in 2026.
Kardashian admitted that the show's success and the public's overwhelming interest in her family were surprising. "We shot the pilot and had no idea what it would turn into, but 20 years on it is still going," she said. However, the reality series faced the challenge of maintaining entertainment value over the years, given its focus on one family.
