"We are incredibly proud of our partnership with the Kardashians and they remain an important part of the E! family. We look forward to continuing our collaboration for years to come."

While E! haven't commented on how much the new contract is worth, an insider told the publication it amounts to "below $100 million" and said the deal is until 2020.

 

The famous family - who also includes Rob Kardashian, but he no longer appears on the show - last put pen to paper on a deal with the network in February 2015.

E! president Adam Stotsky recently hinted a new contract was on the cards.

He said: "What I can tell you is, it's a very effective, collaborative working relationship that we have with them that we're looking forward to continuing for the foreseeable future."

'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' - which documents the lives of the Kardashians and Jenners - began in October 2007 and has gone on to become one of the longest-running reality TV series in the US. The latest 14th series began on October 1, 2017.
