Kim Kardashian announced what she referred to as a "difficult decision" in social media that the 20th season of the show "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" will also mark its last, drawing a 14-year era to a conclusion.
"After what will be 14 years, 20 seasons, hundreds of episodes and numerous spin-off shows, we are beyond grateful to all of you who’ve watched us for all of these years – through the good times, the bad times, the happiness, the tears, and the many relationships and children. We’ll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we’ve met along the way", Kim said, thanking fans for support and praising the show for making the family "who we are".
Debuting in 2007, the series revealed some parts of the professional and personal lives of the Kardashian family members, sometimes heavily criticised for fabricating storylines and the show's profound lack of intelligence. Despite the criticism, however, the show became one of the E! cable network's most successful series.
The announcement drew mixed reactions from netizens, with some saddened over the end of a favourite show - which was, however, dubbed by many as "guilty pleasure".
Others were delighted by the news, saying that it is a miracle that the show finally came to an end and unleashing one more wave of criticism.
The last season of the show will air in early 2021.
