A trailer for the eighth season of the Hulu reality series ‘The Kardashians’ has been released, highlighting several personal storylines for the family members ahead of its October 8 premiere on Hulu in the United States and Disney+ internationally.

Kim Kardashian revealed she was hospitalized for esophagitis, an inflammation of the esophageal lining. The footage shows Kardashian in a hospital setting, appearing exhausted while receiving medical care. The diagnosis has caused emotional distress for the family, particularly her mother, Kris Jenner, due to its connection to the illness that led to the death of her father, Robert Kardashian, in 2003. While medical experts note that esophagitis is a distinct condition from esophageal cancer—often caused by acid reflux, infections, or allergies—the health scare is a central theme. The trailer depicts the family's emotional reaction when Kim is asked if her condition is the same as her father’s. This medical issue resurfaces the family’s history with esophageal health advocacy, following their 2019 establishment of the UCLA Robert G. Kardashian Center for Esophageal Health.

Other developments teased in the footage include Kendall Jenner addressing and denying rumors regarding a romantic relationship with Cara Delevingne, stating, “There’s definitely a rumor that Cara and I dated — which is not true.” The trailer also features Khloé Kardashian discussing her single status and Kourtney Kardashian Barker’s focus on her family life, alongside ongoing family tensions and the family's efforts to balance business empires with personal healing. Additional teased storylines include Kylie Jenner’s fashion choices and the evolving dynamic between Khloé Kardashian and Scott Disick.
