'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' extends to 2020 as family signs $150-M deal with E!

The controversial reality family is here to stay. The Kardashians have recently signed a deal with E!, which will ensure multiple years of the family's life for fans to see on the network.

The Kardashians had signed a multimillion contract with E!, which would extend the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" show for five seasons until 2020. TMZ had reported that the deal cost $150 million, with the outfit's source claiming that Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney will get the bulk of the money. Meanwhile, the matriarch, Kris Jenner, will reportedly get 10 percent of the amount, or $15 million, for acting as the negotiator.

If the amount of the deal is true, it would be bigger than what the family got with their deal in 2015. The Blast reported that the family received $100 million for the extension of their contract. Season 15 of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" was also reported to have started production already.

"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," said one spokesperson of the network in a released statement.

There had been many spin-offs for "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," which will be celebrating its 10<sup>th anniversary and 200<sup>th episode on Sunday, Oct. 29. These include "Rob & Chyna," "Life With Kylie," "Khloe & Lamar," "Kourtney and Kim Take Miami," and "Dash Dolls."

Kim's rumored pregnancy, which was anticipated by fans, will be seen in season 14 of the reality television show. US Weekly sources revealed that the 37-year-old and her husband, rapper Kanye West, were expecting a baby from a surrogate mother, adding that the baby would come by December or January. Meanwhile, reports say that Kim's half-sister, Kylie Jenner, 20, is also pregnant.
