Kardashians could land streaming deal after 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' ends: report
The reality stars announced their departure from E! earlier this week
“Keeping Up With The Kardashians” will air its last season on E! next year, but the family could acquire another deal with a streaming service.
The family, who will have shared their lives with viewers over the course of 20 seasons when it comes to an end in 2021 after its inception in 2007, shocked fans by the announcement of their departure.
Several fans went on to joke on social media that the family’s matriarch Kris Jenner was already planning her next television move, such as the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

Their future in television is far from over though, according to reports.
The family is interested in pursuing a streaming service deal with either Netflix, Apple TV or Amazon, an insider told Page Six.
“There’s more money in streaming,” the source said. “And it’s global.”

In addition to toying with the idea of a streaming service deal, the insider said the family is also considering starting “their own media company.”
“They’re open to all opportunities,” another source told the outlet. “But they are taking some time off.”
If the Kardashians take their television business to another outlet, it wouldn’t be the first time.
Kim Kardashian aired her documentary “The Justice Project” on Oxygen earlier this month.
Her younger sister Khloe Kardashian also starred and executive produced the Investigation Discovery series “Twisted Sisters.”
