The Lowdown
Eight seasons in on Hulu, the Kardashians have turned the reality show into a press release you can binge. The trailer’s best moments are the unguarded ones: Kris hesitating over how her daughters are getting along and Kim in a hospital bed. If the season leans into those instead of brand launches, it’ll be the strongest Hulu run yet.

- Asked how her daughters are getting along, Kris answers: “Well, it’s been a week” (Deadline).
