Keeping Up With the Kardashians will end after season 20 in 2021

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian West has announced her family’s long-running reality TV show, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians", will end after a final season 2021.

KUWTK premiered in 2007 and became the launch pad for several family members’ fashion and beauty business empires.

The show will come to an end after its 20th season in early 2021, Kardashian West said on Twitter on Tuesday, September 8.

“It is with heavy hearts that we’ve made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” she said.

“After what will be 14 years, 20 seasons, hundreds of episodes and numerous spin-off shows, we are beyond grateful to all of you who’ve watched us for all of these years – through the good times, the bad times, the happiness, the tears and the many relationships and children.

“We’ll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we’ve met along the way.”

Kardashian West thanked the E! network, which aired the show, as well as the executive producer Ryan Seacrest.
