“There’s a lot of baggage that comes with us, but it’s like Louis Vuitton baggage; you always want it.”
The world-famous Kardashian family without a doubt changed the entire landscape of television back in the early noughties. Gone were the extreme lengths and extraordinary talents that would place someone in the limelight, with reality now the dominant force on our screens. Front and center of this movement were the titular family, with their series Keeping Up with the Kardashians running for 20 record-breaking seasons.
When it was first announced that the long-running Kardashian series would be canceled, it was inevitable that they would return to screens soon, such is the demand to indulge in their lavish and often enigmatic lifestyle. This return came in the form of The Kardashians, a series that would focus on sisters Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé Kardashian, their half-sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and their mother, Kris Jenner. In just two years, four seasons of ten episodes each have flown out of the gates and onto our screens, with it almost incomprehensible that a fifth is arriving so soon. Alas, it is, and fans can’t wait, so here is a look at where you can stream The Kardashians Season 5.

Following a tumultuous fourth season, which saw, among many other things, Kim begin her foray into acting, Season 5 looks to bring bags of drama, comedy, and, sadly, tragedy. It’s no surprise that the Kardashian family have such a busy schedule, with their time in Season 5, despite promising to take a step back, looking to be just as busy as any other season. From Paris Fashion Week to the preparation for a newborn, the gang will be back to tackle its most difficult challenges and find a way to fight about it along the way. Lovers of the family will already know about Kourtney’s emergency fetal surgery that saw partner Travis hastily leave his reunion tour with his band, Blink-182, with the trailer promising to give an access-all-areas look at that most traumatic of situations.
An official synopsis for the upcoming fifth season reads:
“Just when you think life can’t get any faster in the Kardashian-Jenner family, they punch it into overdrive. From the big screen to baby bliss, the family continues to defy expectations in all their endeavors. Cameras roll as Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie navigate contentious sister dynamics under the watchful eye of everyone’s favorite matriarch, Kris.”
