The series focuses mainly on sisters Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé Kardashian and their half-sisters, Kendall
and Kylie Jenner. It also features their parents, Kris and Caitlyn Jenner, and brother, Rob. Partners of the
Kardashian sisters have also appeared on the show.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians has been critically panned since its premiere. It is often criticized for
the high degree of emphasis on the "famous for being famous" concept, and for appearing to fabricate
some aspects of its storylines. Several critics also noted the show's lack of intelligence.[4] However,
some critics recognized the reality series as a "guilty pleasure" and acknowledged the family's success.
Despite the negative reviews, Keeping Up with the Kardashians has attracted high viewership ratings,
becoming one of the network's most successful shows and winning several audience awards.

The series' success has led additionally to the creation of numerous spin-off series, including: Kourtney
and Kim Take Miami, Kourtney and Kim Take New York, Khloé & Lamar, Kourtney and Khloé Take The
Hamptons, Dash Dolls, Rob & Chyna, Life of Kylie, and Flip It Like Disick. The network has also broadcast
several television specials featuring special events involving members of the family and friends.

On September 8, 2020, the family announced via Instagram that the show would end in 2021.[5] The
series concluded on June 20, 2021.[6]
