Khloé Kardashian’s Calabasas Behind the Gates: Hulu’s Latest Kardashian Spin‑Off Exposed
Another Kardashian spin‑off? Can’t wait to see how this fresh installment will redefine “overexposed.” Khloé Kardashian popped up at Hulu’s inaugural Get Real House event on April 22 to drop the bomb that the family franchise isn’t done milking Calabasas for reality gold. Her new series, cheekily titled Calabasas Behind the Gates, promises to pry into the lives of the Kardashian inner circle—think B‑list buddies, longtime neighbors and random acquaintances whose biggest claim to fame is proximity to a K.
Khloé, 40, delivered the announcement with trademark enthusiasm: “It’s very exciting, very new, very excellent.” She didn’t clarify which relatives might cameo, leaving fans to guess whether Kim, Kourtney or even Kris will make surprise walk‑bys. Scott Disick, who joined Khloé on stage and presumably bought a ticket to his own tease, offered nothing more solid than a shrug when asked if he’d show up. (“We’ll see,” is reality TV code for “Don’t hold your breath.”)
Disney exec Rob Mills—yes, Disney, since Hulu’s now under Mouse House rule—jumped in to explain that Calabasas Behind the Gates aims to answer the burning question on everyone’s mind: who exactly hangs around the Kardashians when the cameras aren’t rolling? According to Mills, the show “will explore the extended lives” of people who occupy the gated community’s cul‑de‑sacs. Translation: more cameo hunting for micro‑influencers and wannabe stars.
Khloé also used her podium time to flex the family’s newfound negotiating muscle: she insists all siblings “get paid equally” for their screen time and that they wield creative control over everything from editing choices to who ends up on the cutting‑room floor. She admits those cuts are largely “vanity things,” although sources say Kourtney Barker is the reigning champion of veto power. (Khloé dropped that tidbit on her Call Her Daddy podcast back on April 16.)
In true Kardashian fashion, Khloé couldn’t resist spilling a cringe‑worthy flashback: she still shudders at a 2010 Keeping Up with the Kardashians episode where she submerged in a bath of candy—courtesy of pal Malika Haqq—to make a “sexy” video for ex‑husband Lamar Odom. “I can’t stand that I let Malika do that to me,” she quipped, shining a harsh spotlight on her past desperation for camera time.
No official release date for Calabasas Behind the Gates has been announced, but with filming likely kicking off soon, expect plenty of teasers, stunts and maybe even a surprise Rob Kardashian cameo—if anyone can coax him back into reality TV.
And that’s today’s dose of reality. You’re welcome.
