Why The Kardashians Are Ending Their Hit Reality Show

Keeping Up With The Kardashians was once a ratings hit for E! and over the past 14 years the show has forged the careers of Kim and her siblings Kourtney, Khloe, Kylie and Kendall, catapulting them to household name status.

However alongside the show's stratospheric success, it has recently been plagued by unwanted drama, including Kim's husband Kanye West's very public meltdown, family members refusing to film and public backlash.

While viewership has dwindled and the cast members' pay-cheques have only increased, it has long been questioned when the reality show will air its final season.
