Keeping Up With the Kardashians practically re-defined reality TV when it first premiered back in 2007. The Kar-Jenners became more than just reality stars; they became pop culture icons, with the entire world following their every move. As messy as they were at times, there was something extremely honest about how they presented their lives in front of the camera.
KUWTK not only resulted in successful business ventures for several of the family members, but it also spanned across a number of spin-off shows. While some of them, such as the 2009 show, Kourtney and Kim Take Miami, have gone down in history and contributed to the Kardashian brand lore, not all KUWTK spin-offs have been as successful. And honestly, with all the attention always being on the main show, it’s easy to forget just how many spin-offs the Kar-Jenners have launched over the years.

Dash Dolls
2015
Dash Dolls had all the makings of a successful spinoff, but unfortunately, it ended up being forgettable, to say the least. This show focused on the lives of Khloé Kardashian’s best friends, Khadijah and Malika Haq, who worked at the Kardashian sisters’ iconic DASH boutique chain. For those of you who don’t know, before Good American and SKIMS came along, Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney opened up their first DASH store in 2006 before expanding to multiple locations. If you think about it, this was the Kardashian sisters’ entry into the world of fashion.
So, Dash Dolls aimed to capitalize on that and promised a behind-the-scenes look at how the Haq sisters navigated ambition, friendship, and the pressure of working for the Kardashian brand. In many ways, the show was similar to Vanderpump Rules, but in a retail setting. Each episode followed Khadijah and Malika as they managed and mentored the young staff at the West Hollywood DASH boutique. From giving a glimpse into their personal lives to showing how the sisters dealt with wild nights out, tense staff meetings, and everyday workplace conflicts. Despite its potential, though, Dash Dolls was canceled after eight episodes due to low ratings. Not to mention that shortly after Dash Dolls was taken off the air in 2015, the DASH stores themselves began slowly closing down, with the last store closing in 2018.

Lord Disick: Lifestyles Of A Lord
2013
To this day, Scott Disick remains a fan-favorite when it comes to the Kar-Jenner family. That really is saying something, especially since he’s not even an official member of the clan! During a 2012 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Disick purchased an online knighting ceremony on a trip to London and started going by the title of “Lord.” Staying true to his brand of witty humor, he didn’t let the joke die there. In 2013, Disick starred in a short-lived, 10-episode web series that revolved around his life.
In its essence, Lord Disick: Lifestyles Of A Lord was about the reality star not knowing what to do with all his money and fame.
The show followed Kourtney Kardashian’s ex as he embraced a life of luxury. Each episode featured Disick on a brand-new adventure which often included partying, travel and him making extravagant purchases. The show was available to watch on the E! website along with the now-defunct lorddisisick.com. In its essence, Lord Disick: Lifestyles Of A Lord was about the reality star not knowing what to do with all his money and fame. And while it never really evolved into a full series, it definitely cemented Disick as one of the most entertaining figures in the Kardashian world.

Revenge Body with Khloe Kardashian
2017
Anyone who has watched KUWTK knows how much Khloe has struggled with her weight and body image. Things took a turn for the worse after her messy split with NBA star Lamar Odom in 2016. That’s when Khloe decided to pursue her first major solo venture outside of her family’s reality show. Each episode of the show featured two heartbroken individuals who would go through a major transformation with the help of personal trainers and stylists. The premise of Revenge Body with Khloé Kardashian was inspired by her own journey of heartbreak and self-acceptance.
The Kardashian sister served as an executive producer for the show along with being an on-screen mentor for every participant. The reality star was extremely vulnerable about her own struggles and used her story to inspire the contestants on a personal level. “Looking good is the best revenge” became Kardashian’s slogan on the show and embodied everything she aimed to achieve by helping people going through breakups reclaim their power. The show ran for three seasons and was one of the more successful spin-offs of the KUWTK franchise.

Kris
2013
Momager Kris Jenner has never been one to shy away from the spotlight. After helping her children build their successful careers, Jenner decided to step out of the reality world and become the next big name in daytime TV. Her very own talk show Kris premiered in 2013 and featured the mom of six taking center stage. Kris was meant to be a show that included celebrity interviews, beauty and lifestyle segments along with Jenner’s momager-style advice.
Of course, Jenner made sure to feature her family members as guests, with Kanye West being one of them. West debuted the first picture of him and Kim’s daughter, North West during his appearance on Kris, and that remains one of the most memorable moments of the limited-run talk show. Now, Kris aired as a six-week test run on select stations, because it failed to garner strong ratings. Ultimately, the talk show was never picked up for a full season. But that obviously didn’t stop Jenner from becoming the media mogul that she is today.

Life of Kylie
2017
Out of all the KUWTK spin-offs, I wish Life of Kylie had lasted a few more seasons. The show promised the fans a behind-the-scenes look into the life of the youngest Kar-Jenner sibling shortly after she launched her successful business venture, Kylie Cosmetics. Watching Jenner navigate life as a 19-year-old billionaire made for a pretty interesting premise. While fans of KUWTK had watched Jenner grow up in front of the cameras, Life of Kylie put all the spotlight on her for the first time.
The show followed Jenner running her beauty empire and attending major events such as The Met Gala while also doing regular teenage things such as going shopping and hanging out with her then-BFF Jordyn Woods. Life of Kylie also featured Jenner opening up about her complicated relationship with rapper Tyga and the aftermath of their breakup. All in all, Life of Kylie was a real look into Jenner’s struggles with fame, anxiety, and the pressure of appearing perfect in the public eye.

I Am Cait
2015
I Am Cait is arguably the most serious KUWTK spinoff that dealt with Caitlyn Jenner’s public transition and her deeply personal journey with gender identity. For years, fans had known her as Bruce Jenner, an Olympian, and dad. But I Am Cait offered a rare and vulnerable window into her life behind the cameras. In many ways, I Am Cait was not just about Caitlyn embracing her authentic self, but also about helping longtime fans of KUWTK understand what she had been going through all along.
I Am Cait was a docu-series that broke away from the lighthearted format of other KUWTK spinoffs and really focused on what Jenner’s life was like after she came out as transgender. From complicated family dynamics to conversations around LGBTQ+ rights and the reality star’s dating life, I Am Cait was an unfiltered look into the tough life of the reality star. Despite being canceled after two seasons, the show’s cultural impact is undeniable.

Kocktails with Khloe
2016
Kocktails with Khloe was the Good American founder’s second solo spinoff, and honestly, it deserved more time to shine. Fans already knew and loved the youngest Kardashian sister for her unfiltered humor and strong opinions, and Kocktails with Khloe really leaned into that. The format of Kocktails with Khloe included celebrity guests hanging out with the reality star in her kitchen. Set in a cozy, living room-style space complete with a bar and kitchen, Kocktails with Khloe felt like you were watching a bunch of friends getting together for dinner and drinks rather than a traditional talk show. And that’s exactly what made it so fun to watch!
Kardashian’s guests included everyone from her siblings to longtime friends, and even internet personalities such as Jenna Mourey. Every episode would feature special drinks, games, and in-depth discussions about everything ranging from pop-culture to personal relationships. Kardashian’s natural knack for making her guests feel comfortable led to some pretty unfiltered conversations.

Flip It Like Disick
2019
If you’ve ever wondered what Lord Disick actually does for a living, you might want to catch up on Flip It Like Disick. Although the spin-off only lasted for one season, it showcased Disick’s life beyond KUWTK and revolved around his passion for flipping luxury real estate in Los Angeles. The show followed Disick and his team as they took on multi-million-dollar renovation projects. What I loved the most about this spin-off was that, behind all his over-the-top antics, you really get to see Disick’s business acumen shine through.
Turns out that the Lord actually has an eye for design. Each episode showed him and his team managing tight budgets and strict deadlines as they flipped houses. Obviously, Disick made sure to bring his signature flair and humor to the show. But ultimately, you could tell that he genuinely cared about the work. The show also featured guest stars including Kris Jenner, Steve Aoki, and Disick’s then-girlfriend Sophia Richie to keep things interesting.

The Spin Crowd
2019
Just like Dash Dolls, The Spin Crowd also featured one of the Kardashian family’s longtime friends, Jonathan Cheban. The show was actually conceptualized by Kim, who is close with The Spin Crowd’s leads Cheban, and his business partner, Simon Huck. The premise of The Spin Crowd revolved around Cheban and Huck as they ran their high-profile PR firm, Command PR in New York City. The employees at Command PR would spend their days managing celebrity clients, attending red-carpet events, and scoring brand deals.
The Spin Crowd gave fans a peek into the business side of fame.
While KUWTK focused on the glamorous and dramatic lives of the Kardashian-Jenner family, The Spin Crowd gave fans a peek into the business side of fame. Instead of designer closet tours and family drama, this spinoff revolved around publicists working behind-the-scenes to create viral celebrity moments and manage scandals. If you ask me, the contrast was actually pretty refreshing and entertaining at the same time. While the spinoff only lasted for a season, it definitely offered a completely different perspective on celebrity culture.

Rob & Chyna
2016
This might just be the most scandalous spin-off to have come out of the KUWTK franchise. Rob & Chyna was reality TV at its messiest. The show followed Rob Kardashian and his then-fiance Blac Chyna’s tumultuous relationship and pregnancy. The idea of the show was to follow the couple’s journey to becoming parents. But as simple as it sounds, Rob & Chyna was anything but that. For starters, the drama between Kylie and Chyna was a major elephant in the room back when the show premiered. Back then, the Kylie Cosmetics owner was dating Chyna’s ex Tyga. This created a lot of tension between Rob and his family.
That wasn’t all, though. Rob & Chyna was a front-row seat to the many issues that plagued the couple’s dynamic. From the very first episode, it was evident that these two were a total mismatch. The show was full of constant arguments, accusations, and endless makeup-and-breakup moments. Over the course of the season, the show became less about preparing for their baby and more about whether these two would even be able to stay together till the birth. Rob and Chyna eventually called things off in February 2017, which obviously led to the cancelation of their reality spin-off after just one season.
