Kim Kardashian’s transition from reality TV star to actress has introduced new challenges for her family’s long-running reality series, “The Kardashians.” Over the past year, Kim has successfully broken into scripted television with her acting debut in “American Horror Story: Delicate,” which received a mix of reactions from fans and critics. This success has paved the way for more acting roles, including upcoming projects like the comedy “The 5th Wheel,” an untitled thriller, and a new Hulu drama series called “All’s Fair.”

While Kim is excited about exploring her newfound passion for acting, this shift has reportedly caused concern for her mother, Kris Jenner. As the driving force behind the Kardashian-Jenner brand, Kris is allegedly worried about how Kim’s packed schedule could affect the future of their reality series. According to an insider, Kris has worked hard to transition the family’s reality show from E! to Hulu, adapting it for a new era of streaming. However, the insider suggests that if Kim’s acting commitments prevent her from being as present on “The Kardashians,” the show could face challenges. This is especially concerning to Kris, who considers a shorter run on Hulu after their 20-season success on cable to be a potential failure.

The insider also mentioned that Kris is strategizing ways to balance Kim’s dual careers. She is open to reducing the number of episodes per year to ensure that when Kim does appear, the show captures her full presence. Hulu seems supportive of this strategy for now, as they are invested in both “The Kardashians” and Kim’s drama series “All’s Fair.” Kris’s worry is that if Kim’s acting schedule takes precedence, the reality show might suffer, which would be new territory for Kris, who is used to having full access to her children for filming.

The situation highlights a complex balancing act for the Kardashian-Jenner family. On the one hand, there is the desire to support Kim’s growth and success in acting. On the other hand, there is the need to maintain the strength and relevance of their reality TV empire. It seems that everyone involved is trying to find a way to make both endeavors successful without sacrificing the other. As Kim continues to juggle her various roles, including her responsibilities as a mother and entrepreneur, the future of “The Kardashians” remains uncertain but is clearly being carefully managed by Kris Jenner, who is known for always staying several steps ahead in protecting her family’s brand and legacy.
