After a little more than a year away, the Kardashian-Jenner family has returned to streaming screens. Season 8 of The Kardashians premiered on Hulu on Thursday, October 8, and the platform is marketing it as the start of a new chapter. For fans who like a fixed routine, the schedule is easy to remember: ten episodes, one every Thursday, with the finale arriving on December 10, just in time for the holiday season.
As before, the show is a Hulu exclusive in the United States. Viewers can choose between the ad-supported plan and the more expensive ad-free tier. The second episode, titled “Never Say Never, Right?”, follows on October 15, so there is a steady rhythm of new material all autumn long.
The more surprising headline, however, comes from outside the reality format. Kylie Jenner is set to star in and executive produce Bachelorette Weekend, a scripted thriller series for Hulu, with Kim Kardashian also involved as an executive producer. It will be Kylie’s first scripted acting role. The story reportedly centres on a bride found dead in a pool during her bachelorette trip, with her closest friends becoming suspects, and Kylie plays the bride herself as she pieces together what happened. The series is adapted by novelist Lauren Oliver from an unpublished book, and no premiere date has been announced yet.
If you want the full rundown of episode dates, subscription prices and the creative team behind the new thriller, the Xaldris overview of The Kardashians Season 8 collects everything in one place. We have added it to our directory today because it covers both announcements clearly and briefly.
Taken together, the news shows how far the family’s partnership with Hulu now reaches. Longtime viewers get their comfortable weekly ritual, while people who never cared about reality TV might find themselves curious about a glossy murder mystery with a very familiar face at its centre.
