All your burning questions about the launch, answered

Reality TV’s First Family returned to the small screen on Thursday with the premiere of their new Hulu series, The Kardashians. The slick docuseries is part of the family’s massive global content deal with Disney, though it doesn’t stray too far from the 14-year formula that’s been on the hit reality show E! Keeping up with the Kardashians. The camera follows the five sisters and husband and wife Kris Jenner through their glamorous everyday lives posting Instagram, calling their lawyers and being looked after by a small team of makeup artists, stylist, advertiser and assistant. So normal.

However, in the 10 months since the Kardashians last used our TV screens, great number of happened. Kourtney got engaged to Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker after less than a year of nonstop PDA (and they got married pretending to be in Vegas after the Grammys earlier this month). Kylie welcomed a son with Travis Scott and quickly decided that the name they initially chose, Wolf, was too basic (at least, that’s what we’re assuming). Kim has a tabloid relationship with Saturday night live stars Pete Davidson, much to the chagrin of Kanye West, who dumped his ex-wife and her new girlfriend during frequent and frequent social media crazes.

The big question is, what percentage of this happened while the camera was rolling? “Private” and “casual” aren’t descriptive words commonly associated with the Kardashians – a family that has built an empire by broadcasting their most intimate moments to millions – so , it’s likely that the viewer will be seen as the person behind-the-scenes watching several dramas throughout the film.

But for now, here’s what we know after watching the first episode of The Kardashian family.

Does Pete Davidson appear on the show?

Kim revealed that Davidson didn’t film for The Kardashians, but as the trailer confirmed a few weeks ago, he will at least be mentioned. However, the first few episodes were filmed before the pair hooked up, so this premiere is completely free of Pete. In fact, one of the main storylines of the episode revolves around the beauty mogul’s lead SNL host of the show, as the two are said to have fallen in love after sharing a kiss as part of a sketch.

What about Travis Barker?

On the other hand, Barker is on the show a lot and he delivers some of the most entertaining moments. He and Kourt seem to really love each other, very much in love and it’s sweet to see him bond with her children; one particularly adorable moment seeing the punk rocker teach 9-year-old Penelope to play the drums. Plus, we get to see Kris constantly teasing the couple for their gratuitous reconciliation. Fans familiar with the details of the relationship will know that their engagement is imminent — and, of course, there was a camera crew on hand at the big time, so expect to see a few more. see that at the end of this season.

Do they talk about Kanye?

True, but not about his out-of-control social media antics. Again, the premiere was filmed before Kim and Pete’s relationship began, so the former A-listers were on good terms at the time. Kim even discussed the possibility of Kanye appearing as her musical guest Saturday night live episode and deal with creating too many jokes at his own expense. She also revealed that he had intended to give up his music career to become her full-time stylist.

What is Khloe’s status with Tristan Thompson?

Since the first episode, Khloe and the serial scammer are raising amicably together. They chatted about his past affairs and Khloe said in a non-humorous tone that he was lucky she was eight months pregnant when the first rumors broke. , otherwise she will cheat him. (Yes, those were her exact words.) Instead, she resorted to pouring water on his clothes. As we all know, disaster is in store for Koko, who simply cannot keep up with this loser; Previews for the rest of the season suggest that it will cover the aftermath of the unexpected birth of Thompson’s child with another woman in December.

Where is Scott Disick in all of this?

Poor, Lord Disick, coward. Now Kourtney is in a loving and fulfilling relationship — although Disick has gone to great lengths to sabotage it by partnering Avengers– in style with her other ex-boyfriend — he’s no longer invited to the family barbecue. All he’s left with is the pity of Khloe and loads of 21-year-old Instagram influencer girlfriends. He’s as slimy as ever, using his few minutes of screen time during the premiere to lament that when he’s finally ready to settle down, he’ll need to be with an adult. older than, “but not more than 30”.

No Pete, no Kanye. So what is the premiere even about?

Oh, nothing, really. Much of this money is spent on a producer-staged barbecue at Kim’s house, where the whole family gathers for a certainly genuine conversation about how eerie it feels to be back in front of the camera. We get to see Kravis in action and see if Kim is ready for her SNL appear. But the main drama of the first episode revolves around Kim’s decades-long sex tape scandal when an ad appeared on the Saint’s Roblox app (??) alleging that there was unreleased footage from the book. ice.

It’s Kim still Studying for the children’s exam in the program?

It’s correct. Yes, that’s her.
