On Thursday, Caitlyn, 72, shared her support for The Kardashians — the streaming service's upcoming reality series starring Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner. "I was there when this started from day one. I watched it grow. And doing the show for almost 20 seasons was one of the highlights of my life," Caitlyn tweeted. "To be able to work with my family for all those years, connect with the fans, it was incredible. Happy that it continues for my family." Caitlyn Jenner Calls KUWTK a 'Highlight' of Her Life, 'Happy It Continues' with New Hulu Series Caitlyn — who was featured in the family's long-running hit E! reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians and in her own spinoff I Am Cait — will not appear in the Hulu series, Variety reports. Kevin Mazur/Getty In a follow-up statement on Friday evening, Caitlyn echoed her sentiments about how happy she is for the show and her family, while also explaining it is "unfortunate" that she will not be taking part in it. "Of course at the same time it is unfortunate to not be given the opportunity to continue with the show," she wrote in a second tweet. "With that said, I cannot emphasize enough how happy I am for my family that it continues!"

Three months later, the ladies signed a multi-year deal to "create global content" that will stream exclusively on Hulu in the United States and in multiple international territories. The Kardashian/Jenner family's original series concluded after 20 seasons in June 2021. A two-part reunion special hosted by Andy Cohen aired after the series finale.

"Kris, Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie bring the cameras back to give truth to their stories. From the intense pressures of running billion-dollar businesses to the hilarious joys of playtime and school drop-offs, this series brings viewers into the fold with a rivetingly honest story of love & life in the spotlight."
