Sky is to broadcast a documentary series exploring one of the world’s most powerful families – the Kardashian-Jenners.
The programme is set to air on Sky Documentaries and streaming service NOW this autumn.
Poppy Dixon, Director of Documentaries and Factual at Sky:
“Whether you like, loathe or are indifferent to the Kardashians, you cannot deny the family’s grip on popular culture and influence on society. The story behind how these women redefined the word ‘dynasty’, all whilst our attitude to celebrity, race and women has changed, is inspiring, thought-provoking and tells us so much about ourselves.
“72 Films are experts in taking these cultural juggernauts and exploring them through ambitious and intelligent storytelling, underpinned with strong journalism and lots of juicy revelation – we are thrilled to be working with them, alongside two highly talented female directors.”
The three-part series, produced by 72 Films, aims to confound expectations and challenge what society knows of the Kardashians, exploring their rise, reach and the cost that comes with being some of the most famous women on the planet.
It will include unseen archival footage and first-hand testimony from some of those within the family’s inner circle, including Caitlyn Jenner.
House of Kardashian explores the family dynamic, scandal, controversial business deals and personal struggles, leaving the audience with the question: where will their huge power take them and what kind of legacy will they leave behind?
Clare Cameron, Executive Producer, 72 Films:
“As a film-maker, you might question what is left to reveal about the Kardashian-Jenners – arguably one of the most famously, overexposed families in Hollywood. Through our interviews with those who have been in the family’s orbit since the beginning, we uncover their personal motivations, and explore how a changing culture allowed their influence on women around the world to thrive.”
House of Kardashian is set to premiere on Sky Documentaries and streaming service NOW in autumn.
