The Kardashians season 5 release date

The Kardashians returned for season 5 on Disney Plus on Thursday 23rd May. Episodes will continue to drop each week on a Thursday.

Who will feature in The Kardashians season 5?

Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian Barker, Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner will all return.

It isn't clear who else will feature in the new series, but other appearances could include North West, Travis Barker and Kourtney, Kylie and Khloé's children, as well as friends of the famous sisters.

It isn't clear whether or not Timothée Chalamet will make an appearance on The Kardashians.

According to an insider, the actor is very "careful" about his appearances, suggesting it is unlikely that he would make a cameo on the reality TV show.

"Timothée is very careful with his personal conduct in relationships because one dumb mistake can send everything he's built down the toilet," the source told The Sun.

How many episodes could there be in The Kardashians season 5?

If the series follows the last four seasons’ pattern, there could be 10 episodes of The Kardashians.

What could potentially happen in The Kardashians season 5?

Based on what has happened in the lives of the Kardashians family, there is a lot going on.

Kourtney Kardashian recently gave birth, and the lead-up to that big moment could very well feature, much like Kylie Jenner's pregnancy did in previous seasons.

Kim Kardashian also recently starred in American Horror Story: Delicate, alongside Emma Roberts and Cara Delevingne, so moments from that could also make it into the series.

What we do know is that there is some awkwardness between Khloé Kardashian and her former partner Tristan Thompson. In a RadioTimes.com exclusive first look at season 5, the pair can be seen awkwardly hugging as their navigate their lives together.

The Kardashians returns for season 5 on Thursday 23rd May on Disney Plus. You can watch seasons 1-4 of The Kardashians on Disney Plus – sign up to Disney Plus for £7.99 a month or £79.90 a year.
