Keeping Up With the Kardashians, has been renewed for the next three seasons for a whopping $40million dollars – looks like the most famous family in the world will still be filling our TV screens in 2015…
The world’s most bankable and franchised family is set to make three more seasons of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”
TMZ reports the family will be paid over $40 million for the 3 seasons, making the deal the richest contract in reality TV history.
The sixth season of the show averaged 3 million viewers on Sunday nights, the cable networks’ top series. Five of the 10 most-watched shows in the network’s history, in fact, involved the Kardashians.
The 18-episode seventh season begins on May 20. E! said the entire family is covered by the deal: Kim, Kourtney and Rob Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian Odom, and Bruce, Kris, Kendall and Kylie Jenner. E! will continue to have the first crack at any spinoff projects. E! has turned the Kardashians into a mini-empire, with spinoff series like “Kourtney and Kim Take New York” and “Khloe and Lamar.” Although E! retains the first right to these spinoffs, Tuesday’s deal does not specify how many more will be made.
Perhaps the deal has something to do with rap-musician Kanye West dating the star of the show, Kim? The network would also not say whether musician Kanye West would be included in the series. West and Kim Kardashian have been seen together lately amid reports that they are a new couple.
If anyone doesn’t remember, Kim’s elaborate wedding – and brief marriage to – basketball player Kris Humphries was a highlight of E!’s programming last fall. The network had to put out a statement denying rumors that the wedding was orchestrated for TV.
Do you watch the Kardashians? And will you be keeping up with them for the next three years?
