Kim Kardashian took to her Instagram account earlier this month to announce that the last season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians will be aired in 2021. While some fans of the show were shocked, many believed it was circling the drain for quite some time, and Kris Jenner had already hinted at its end long back.
The reality TV series that centered on the blended Kardashian-Jenner family propelled Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian, as well as Kylie and Kendall Jenner straight to skyrocketing popularity. This success can be attributed to the family’s matriarch Kris Jenner's unceasing efforts to ensure the family rose to the top of the entertainment world.
Several fans expected the show to continue to limp along despite dropped ratings and a dearth of material to keep it going successfully because Kris was keeping it alive. With the series coming to an end, fans are searching for signs that Kris' enthusiasm faded, and they are finding evidence.
Currently, in its 18th season, KUWTK has continued long enough and fans are shocked that it did. Kylie and Kendall, who have a different contractual obligation to the show do not make a lot of appearances. When Kourtney decided to throw in the towel and left the show due to the set getting toxic, the responsibility of offering engaging content was fully shifted to Kim and Khloe.
It is no secret that most of the Kardashian-Jenner clan have other projects to move on to, but what about Kris? When the show goes off the air next year, fans are wondering where would she divert her energies and flair for the dramatic.
A Reddit thread about Kris' possible future seems to offer some answers. The Redditors claim they have found a sign that implies she was all set to move on.
The thread features a photo from Kris' recent appearance on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and fans are taking this as a sign she will soon be taking her talents elsewhere. Why does she look like she belongs more to real housewives than she does on KUWTK?” One Redditor asked.
Touted as the mastermind of the Kardashian-Jenner family, Kris has been pulling the strings behind the scene of nearly every deal her children have negotiated. She has been managing her kids' careers from early on, which required her to become a savvy businesswoman when it came to deciding contracts for modeling gigs, public appearances, and endorsement deals.
Although she is largely credited with her kids' rise to fame, some have accused her of ignoring the costs of these ventures. Very personal information, including Kim Kardashian’s infamous sex tape, has been leaked out, with some fans suggesting that Kris was behind the data breach.
