Kardashians sign exclusive deal with Hulu, to create new content for late 2021
Kris Jenner, Kourtney, Khloe and Kim Kardashian are involved, as are Kendall and Kylie Jenner
Just when it seemed the Kardashians were stepping away from television, the family will move from E! Network to Hulu, making the shift from Comcast to Walt Disney.
During Disney's Investor Day presentation, it was announced that the reality TV icons -- Kris Jenner, Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, as well as Kendall and Kylie Jenner, specifically -- will create global content that will stream exclusively on Hulu in the U.S., and on Star internationally in multiple territories. It is expected to debut in late 2021.
It is currently unclear whether the family members will appear in the content they are creating. It is also unclear whether Kris's son Rob Kardashian will participate in the deal, though he was not mentioned in the press release.
It was announced earlier this year that their current reality show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" will end on E! in 2021 after 20 seasons.

“It is with heavy hearts that we’ve made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians," Kim Kardashian announced on Instagram in September.
The caption was posted with an original series poster showing the entire family in much younger times.
