Nothing will stop our favorite reality TV show family from filming E! Network's Keeping Up With The Kardashians - not even social distancing. Despite being quarantined inside their houses, the Kardashians will apparently be taking production into their own hands because, of course, the show must go on.
Kim Kardashian gave us an idea of what a quarantining with a Kardashian would look like when she appeared on The Tonight Show: Home Edition, an appearance where she discussed everything that is going on with her and her family at the moment. The interview was conducted over a live camera feed from within Kim and Jimmy's respective homes, following in similar fashion to other shows like Conan, or The Late, Late Show With James Corden. During the interview, Kim filled us in on how her and Kanye plan to spend their time social distancing from the Kardashian clan: from building pillow and blanket forts with North and Saint to Kanye endlessly watching foreign films. We might get a first hand look at exactly that when KUWTK will follow suit, taking place entirely within each of the family member's separate homes.
The quarantine went into effect just before the Kardashians filmed their last episode of season 18. Using only their iPhones, the Kardashians will be filming their very last episode of season 18 a bit differently. We can expect to see the quarantined Kardashian's spend quality time with their families. According to Kim Kardashian while on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the siblings will have to wrap up season 18's production with their iPhones, which are to be mounted on tripods set up around the house to capture the quarantine activities. After each of the are done, they will submit their footage to be edited into an entire episode, check out Kim talking about it in the clip below:
It's very apparent that the Kardashians are taking COVID-19 very seriously with their social distancing efforts. The family have taken to Instagram, urging their fans and followers to stay indoors and abide by social distancing practices. It was reported that earlier this month, the family began their distancing and hadn't seen each other in person since. That was until just a few days ago when Kim invited Kris Jenner over to eat together - albeit on opposite sides of a large dinner table.
It isn't known if Kourtney Kardashian will be participating in this final episode of the season, given recent drama about her no longer wanting to film the show. The drama escalated into an actual physical fight between Kourtney and sister Kim, which resulted in the show's production being put on hold for a wekk. Kim also discussed the fight in her remote appearance during the Fallon interview, where she described how her sister scratched her until she bled. Footage of the encounter shows Kourtney approach Kim and begin to scratch her, which results in Kim striking her sister on the face. Fans can't expect to see any fist fights in the final episode of the season as they will be in their respective homes, however, it will be interesting to see them in lockdown like the rest of the world.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians airs on Thursday at 8 pm EST on E!
