“House of Kardashian”: A Deep Dive into One of the World’s Most Controversial Dynasties
This fall, Sky Documentaries and the streaming service NOW are set to release a new three-part documentary series on the Kardashian-Jenner family, arguably one of the most powerful and divisive clans of our time. Produced by 72 Films, a subsidiary of Fremantle, the series aims to redefine public opinion and offer fresh perspectives on this polarizing family.
A Family That Divides Opinion
No family has captivated public attention and generated as much debate as the Kardashians. They’re either lauded as a family of strong, empowered women or criticized as reality stars lacking talent and perpetuating harmful norms. “House of Kardashian” seeks to navigate these contrasting viewpoints.
“Regardless of your stance on the Kardashians, their influence on popular culture and society at large is undeniable,” says Poppy Dixon, Director of Documentaries and Factual at Sky.
Bold Storytelling and Exclusive Insights
The series promises engaging storytelling, enriched by exclusive archival footage and firsthand accounts from insiders like Caitlyn Jenner. It aims to challenge preconceived notions about the Kardashians, exploring their rise to fame, their societal impact, and the costs of their enormous fame.
A Multifaceted Look at the Kardashians
For years, the family has carefully curated their narrative through multiple long-running reality TV shows. “House of Kardashian” goes beyond surface-level media portrayals to dig deep into family dynamics, scandals, business controversies, and personal struggles.
“This series is about examining what drives the Kardashians, what makes them tick, and the footprint they’ll leave behind,” said Clare Cameron, Executive Producer at 72 Films.
Legacy and Future Impact
The series raises critical questions about the future of the Kardashian-Jenner family: Where will their enormous influence lead them, and what sort of legacy will they leave?
Industry Voices Weigh In
Caitlyn Jenner, a contributor to the series, states, “I’m proud of my family’s prowess in captivating global attention. It’s a testament to their strength and influence.” Sky’s Poppy Dixon adds that the story of these women is “inspiring, thought-provoking, and tells us so much about the changes in our attitudes toward celebrity, race, and gender.”
“The Kardashians have fundamentally altered the meaning of the word ‘dynasty’ in modern society,” says Dixon.
Anticipation Builds for Premiere
“House of Kardashian” is slated for an autumn release on Sky Documentaries and streaming service NOW. With a blend of intelligent storytelling, strong journalism, and revealing insights, the series promises to be an eye-opener, whether you’re a fan, a critic, or just plain curious about the Kardashians.
