The Kardashians Can Make An Impressive Claim After Their New Series Premiere
Do we really need even more evidence that America is obsessed with the Kardashians? Consider the facts. Exhibit A: Their E! show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" was on TV over the course of 15 years. Exhibit B: Kim has 303 million Instagram followers, while Kylie Jenner has 330 million! Exhibit C: The family's collective businesses are worth a jaw-dropping amount of money. Kim's SKIMS brand of shapewear is valued at $3.2 billion (via Bloomberg). And Kylie may not be a billionaire, but with the sale of Kylie Cosmetics, she's still worth a staggering $700 million, according to Forbes.
And, as if that's not enough proof, we submit that many (most?) online stories center around the reality family across almost every media outlet. But now, the Kardashians can add an impressive new claim to their resume. Their bragging rights have to do with the new show that just debuted on Hulu, "The Kardashians."
Khloé Kardashian is feeling the love
While many of us may not have wanted to give in to the guilty pleasure of tuning in for the premiere episode of "The Kardashians" on April 14, 2022, well, clearly most of us caved. Because according to Variety, the series premiere earned the most viewers of any Hulu show, ever. This fact is even more impressive considering that the episode was the most-watched show on Disney+ and Star+, "Star Wars" and Marvel titles notwithstanding.
If "The Kardashians" becoming the most-watched series premiere on Hulu ever impressed you, it has Khloé "speechless." She shared an Instagram post reacting to the news, writing in part, "I am thankful beyond words to our incredible fans who have been with us through it ALL." The mom of one went on to share that working with Hulu and Disney has been "a dream come true."
The Good American mogul went on to thank fans, saying their most recent success "would not have been possible without [their] support and love." Ever on hand to promote the family's brand, the reality star teased that the second episode of the show would be airing tonight. And chances are, we'll be watching!
