When Did The Kardashians Start Filming For Hulu

Okay, let's talk Kardashians. Specifically, when did they actually start filming for Hulu? Because sometimes, it feels like they've been filming forever, right?

The Hulu Era Begins (Or Does It?)

The official answer? 2022. Hulu's The Kardashians premiered in April 2022. But hold on a minute. Doesn't it feel like we've seen behind-the-scenes glimpses into their lives way before that?

Remember Keeping Up With The Kardashians?

Of course you do! It was practically a cultural phenomenon. That show ran for a whopping 20 seasons on E! before wrapping up in 2021. So, the Hulu show isn't their first rodeo.

"Is it just me, or did they just swap one camera crew for another?"

I mean, think about it. They're always "on." Always perfectly coiffed. Always ready for a confessional.

The Great Transition: From E! to Hulu

Here's my unpopular opinion: I think the filming never really stopped. I suspect the cameras just switched networks. Maybe the contract ran out with E! and Hulu offered a sweeter deal.

Think of all the planning involved! New sets, new branding, new storylines. All that takes time. Plus, they probably wanted to have something ready to go pretty soon after KUWTK ended.

It’s possible they were filming some stuff, just…not under the official “Hulu” banner. They were probably laying the groundwork. Gathering content. Getting everyone comfortable with the new crew.

My (Slightly) Conspiracy Theory

Okay, "conspiracy theory" might be a strong word. But indulge me for a second.

Wouldn't it be smart to have some footage banked? Imagine the pressure of starting a brand new show from scratch. Having some B-roll, some family moments already captured...genius! And totally on-brand for the Kardashian empire.

I’m picturing Kris Jenner, orchestrating everything like a media mastermind. Always one step ahead.

Officially 2022, Unofficially...Who Knows?

So, technically, Hulu's The Kardashians started filming in 2022. That's what the press releases say. That's what everyone reports.

But I'm not entirely convinced the cameras completely stopped rolling after the E! show ended. Maybe they just took a teeny break.

After all, these are the Kardashians we're talking about. They are always working and documenting.

Ultimately, does it even matter? We're still watching. We are still talking about Kylie's lip kits and Kim's business moves. We are all still low-key obsessed. Maybe that's the real point.

Maybe the filming timeline is just another expertly crafted part of the narrative. And maybe, just maybe, I'm overthinking it. But where's the fun in not speculating?

So, what do you think? Did the filming really start in 2022? Or was it earlier? Let's discuss!
