From More Family Squabbles to Health Scares, 'The Kardashians' Is Back for Season 5

For some fans of The Kardashians, understanding when and how to watch the Hulu series is as important as actually enjoying any given season. And for Season 5, you're going to want to know The Kardashians episode release schedule, episode count, and of course, when the finale drops. How else are you going to be able to mentally prepare for every sister fight and extravagant birthday party that the Kardashian-Jenner family has?

Like past seasons of The Kardashians, the fifth season has 10 episodes. However, the way they're released is a bit different from the way most Hulu shows premiere, but it's all about that slow burn apparently. And let's face it — you're going to watch the show regardless of when the episodes come out.

Some Hulu shows release two or even three episodes in a first batch, followed by one new episode each week until any given season of the show is over. But past seasons of The Kardashians didn't follow that formula. And for Season 5, the schedule is similar, in that you aren't getting several episodes at once to start off.

The Season 5 episode release schedule for The Kardashians is below:

May 23 — Season 5 premiere

May 30-July 11 — Episodes 2-9 on Thursdays

July 18 — Finale

However, if Hulu doesn't release an episode on July 4 because of the holiday, then the final few episodes could each shift forward one week.

If what you're really after is the tea that a nice dramatic season finale of The Kardashians brings, then you'll want to stay tuned on either July 18 or July 25, when the finale hits Hulu. The jury is still out on whether we'll get a glimpse of a new Kardashian or Jenner boyfriend, or if the finale hints at more developments to come in a future season. But if history is any indication, a season finale is never something you should miss with this show.

Unlike Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which you can catch in reruns on E! or on Peacock, The Kardashians has just one home, which is Hulu. Ahead of the series premiere, the Kardashian-Jenner family inked a deal with the streaming platform that even places Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian Barker, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner as executive producers.

Technically, you can also watch The Kardashians on Disney Plus if you bundle it with your Hulu subscription. But outside of that, you can head to Hulu for your weekly fix, or to watch previous seasons.
