In her May 2020 interview with Elle, Keeping Up With the Kardashians executive producer Farnaz Farjam explained the difficulties that come with filming during a pandemic. She shared, “If Kris [Jenner] gets annoyed and walks out of the camera angle, it’s not like we can follow her and continue shooting. She has to come back onto the screen and explain [why she walked away].”
As a result, she says, “It’s less fly-on-the-wall, because we have to give them direction and they have to be more informative with us … But because this is the Kardashians and they’re entertaining regardless, it will be a fun watch for people.” Ain’t that the truth? No matter how the footage is filmed, there is never a shortage of content when the Kardashian/Jenner family members are involved.
Now that the cast is a part of the crew, they have the responsibility to send in footage. Once a week, they turn in an iPhone and receive a brand new iPhone from a member of the production team, wearing protective gear.
Yes, filming the second half of season 18 will be very different from filming for previous seasons, but that does not mean that the drama has subsided. Farjam teased, “Right before quarantine we had a couple family members that weren’t seeing eye to eye on something.” She added, “I can’t give away who, but they end up coming together during quarantine, and it’s really sweet.”
