If you thought the Kardashian-Jenner family had seen it all, buckle up: Season 7 is officially landing, and it promises to mix the familiar glamour with some truly headline-worthy drama. According to an exclusive preview from HELLO!, we’re looking at a deep dive into personal stakes, family tensions and major “come-back” moments.
What’s the timeline / premiere details?
Mark your diaries: Season 7 drops Tonight, October 23 at 9 p.m. EST for its first episode.
Episodes will be released weekly on Thursdays, and while the season length hasn’t been officially confirmed, word is we’ll see around 10 episodes, which means it could wrap up around Christmas. The show will be available via the international version of Disney+.
Who’s appearing this season?
Pretty much the full roster of the main family is back:
- Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner are all returning.
- Also making appearances are Rob Kardashian, after stepping away for a while, along with longtime supporting (and dramatic) figures like Scott Disick, Travis Barker, possibly Corey Gamble (Kris Jenner’s partner) and Tristan Thompson.
- A big surprise though is that Caitlyn Jenner is set to return, despite the longstanding tension between her and Kris Jenner. That alone signals the kind of emotional territory we’re entering.
What major storylines to expect?
Here are the headline arcs that the article flagged and there’s a lot to unpack:
Kim’s shocking discovery & her Paris robbery trial aftermath
Kim’s been through a lot, especially considering the infamous 2016 Paris robbery. Season 7 will revisit that trauma and its long-tail impact exploring her “behind-the-scenes” dealings with her legal case and the emotional fallout.
There’s also the eye-catching disclosure: Kim reveals someone “close” allegedly put a hit out on her life. Yes, you read that right. That revelation alone promises one of the more serious, tension-laden arcs of the season.
Family dynamics, tension and change
- The house is shifting and we’ll see the family saying goodbye to their iconic Hidden Hills mansion, sold by Kris for approximately $13.5 million. That location has been the backdrop of so many of their past seasons, so this change is symbolic.
- There’s definitely friction as the trailer teases arguments between Khloé and Kourtney, re-triggering old-sister-drama vibes.
- Kourtney and Travis’s (husband) life is on display and as such the “blended family dynamics” that come with their union will be explored.
Caitlyn’s return
Yes, we touched on this, but it bears repeating. Caitlyn’s inclusion is a “return to the fold” of sorts, and given her fraught history with Kris, it sets the stage for emotional reconciliation (or very public conflict). Expect that to be one of the emotional cores of the season.
Why should you tune in?
Because this season seems to be pivoting from the glitz and glam into deeper, more vulnerable territory with, trauma (Kim’s story), change (house, family structure), relationships in flux (Caitlyn, Kris, siblings), and yes, of course for the celebrity spectacle we expect, but with added emotional weight.
It gives us something of a “what happens after the highlight reel” look at a family that many of us only know through manicured social media posts and TV frames. If you’ve ever wondered what lies underneath that tension, the private moments, the “what we don’t see” behind the cameras, this season looks positioned to show it.
What I’m personally watching for
- How raw will Kim get about the hit-on-her-life revelation? Will it spark new legal or personal repercussions?
- How will the relationship between Kris and Caitlyn evolve on-camera? Is this a real attempt at reconnection or a potential blow-up in the making?
- The siblings’ relationships where Kourtney vs Khloé often gets framed as a thing of the past, but it appears to still be alive. How transparent, how messy and how real will it feel?
- The setting change where leaving the old mansion feels symbolic, perhaps signalling a shift in the family’s identity or priority. How will that affect the show’s tone?
If you’re a fan of The Kardashians, whether you tune in for the glamour, the drama or just the human-story behind the façade, Season 7 looks like it might be a turning point. It’s not just more of the same; it seems to be different. Deeper, more vulnerable, and yes, still sensational.
So yes, get your streaming set up for Tonight, settle in with whatever you snack on for serious reality-TV time, because the big family is back, and they’re bringing something new to the table.
