The Unfiltered Story Unlike their previous self-titled series "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and its successor "The Kardashians," the family members had no editorial control over "House of Kardashian." This departure is expected to provide viewers with a more candid and potentially explosive glimpse into their world.
Exploring the Kardashian Legacy "House of Kardashian" aims to explore the family's legacy by featuring interviews with individuals close to the family. This includes Caitlyn Jenner, the former spouse of Kris Jenner, and longtime family friend Joe Francis, known for "Girls Gone Wild." These key figures will share their perspectives, providing insights that go beyond the glossy exterior often seen on screen.
Unearthing Hidden Archives One of the most intriguing aspects of the documentary is its promise to reveal previously unseen archival footage of the family before they became international celebrities. This archival material offers an unprecedented opportunity to witness the Kardashian-Jenner clan in their pre-fame days, shedding light on their journey to stardom.

Explosive Revelations In the first trailer for "House of Kardashian," Caitlyn Jenner hints at the family's ambition for fame. She suggests that Kimberly, referring to Kim Kardashian, meticulously calculated how to become famous. Meanwhile, Joe Francis suggests that the notorious sex tape involving Kim was a deliberate move to generate controversy.
The documentary also suggests that Kris Jenner aspired to be more than a housewife, hinting at her drive and ambition. Additionally, it acknowledges the polarizing nature of the family's fame, with some seeing them as powerful and inspiring figures while others view them as superficial reality stars.
A Defining Family of Our Time The logline for the series aptly captures the essence of the Kardashian-Jenner family: "No other family defines our time or divides opinion like the Kardashians." Their influence, both positive and negative, has been substantial. They've been admired as powerful women who inspire girls worldwide, yet they've also faced criticism for allegedly promoting a superficial fairytale lifestyle.
Caitlyn Jenner's Perspective Caitlyn Jenner, a central figure in the documentary, expresses her pride in her family's ability to capture the world's attention and maintain it over the years. Her involvement in the production underscores the significance of the series in shedding light on the Kardashian-Jenner phenomenon.
