It seems like only yesterday that The Kardashians returned to our screens with their brand-new reality show, but things move pretty quickly in their world and season two is now broadcasting.
And it couldn't come too soon either, considering the amount that has been going on with the reality show OGs over the past few months.
Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie, plus their ever-iconic momager Kris have ushered in a new era with their new Hulu/Disney+ series (which is kind of similar to their original series Keeping Up with The Kardashians, with a few minor tweaks).
But with that comes some of the best and worst times of being a Kardashian, with engagements, new babies and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities overshadowed by cheating, divorces and Kris Jenner releasing a Christmas single with Blink-182's Travis Barker (seriously... it's a real thing).
So as the show prepares to make a comeback, what are we about to let ourselves in for watching?
Here's everything we know so far about what lies ahead for the series.
The Kardashians season 2 release date: When's the series back on our screens?
Season two of The Kardashians premiered on September 22, 2022 on Disney+ in the UK and Hulu in the US.
New episodes will premiere every Thursday and the season will run for 10 weeks.
The first season spanned a three-month period (October to December 2021), and was released four months later \u2013 so at a guesstimate, the series will likely pick up in January or February 2022, and follow what they've been up to until May.
We're already yanking on our Skims, pouring ourselves a glass of 818 tequila and applying our Kylie cosmetics in anticipation!
The Kardashians season 2 cast: Who will be joining the sisters on screen?
Naturally, the series just wouldn't be the same without the main girls giving us the gossip \u2013 Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kris, Kylie and Kendall.
By the looks of the trailer (more on that in a bit) it looks like Kylie and Kendall will be making more prominent appearances this time round, after only appearing in a handful of scenes and episodes in season one.
To be fair, Kylie was heavily pregnant at the time of filming her first season, and her second child (formerly known as Wolf) with Travis Scott has since been raised off-screen. Even the baby's name has remained a secret in a first for the clan. Her daughter Stormi is also largely kept out of the limelight with few appearances.
Meanwhile, model Kendall was travelling the US for work, and took a knock in her appearance schedule when she got Covid right at the start of shooting.
While the central Kardashian family is big enough, there is always room for more, and their world is ever-expanding.
One of the most anticipated appearances in the upcoming cast is comedian Pete Davidson, who Kim Kardashian started dating October 2021. Initially hiding their romance from the camera, Kim slowly introduced the Saturday Night Live alumnus into the fold throughout season one, via phone calls and by opening up about their relationship.
In the final episode, he was heard talking to her off-screen as she filmed her talking-head confessionals, but still hasn't got any actual screen time yet.
But in season two? It's been confirmed he will be around! Especially as he spends more time in LA with her after quitting SNL and continues to pursue his acting and stand-up career. Now we can finally get an insight into the couple we've been dying to know more about.
(Though we're guessing their reported break-up will be covered in season three which is... awkward.)
Meanwhile, Travis Barker has also become a permanent fixture in Kourtney's life, and was more than happy to appear on camera with her during the first season. Now they're married, we're likely to see him appear even more as they take the next steps into their life together.
Then there's Scott Disick, the father of Kourtney's three children, who has made no secret of how hard he's finding life now he's no longer central to the family dynamic \u2013 but still remains close with Khloe.
The Kardashians season 2 plot: What will happen?
Life moves pretty fast in the Kardashian household and so there's plenty of juicy gossip to dig into and we'll want the inside scoop on.
Since filming season one, Kourtney and Travis have been married (technically three times, if you're counting) starting with a runaway Vegas wedding and ending with a grand ceremony in Italy. They have also been struggling to conceive their own child, with the pair letting cameras into their doctors' appointments during season one as they desperately try to get pregnant.
In the trailer, we can see Kourtney going to wedding dress fittings in a bid to find the perfect dress, and heading off on adventures with her new husband. Their fertility treatment journey will also likely continue.
Meanwhile, Kim's divorce from Kanye has got really, really messy, particularly as she's gone more public with her relationship with Pete. At its worst, Ye released a claymation music video for his song 'Easy' where a likeness of Pete was buried and decapitated... which is so many levels of yikes we don't even know where to begin.
While Kim has been pretty careful about how much she allows cameras to see, particularly in relation to Kanye and his mental health, it's unlikely they'll be able to gloss over the issue entirely as it got so severe.
However, he has since noticeably calmed his public attacks on Pete, with Kim even praising him publicly on Father's Day for how much he loves the four kids they share.
In the trailer for the new season, Kim is seen preparing the launch of her latest fashion line, and also dealing with the backlash from an interview with Variety in which she told her fans to "get off their ass and work like she did" in order to be successful. Many took exception to this considering the place of privilege she was born into to become the success story she is.
Elsewhere, Khloe has a life to rebuild after an attempt to rekindle her relationship with on/off boyfriend Tristan came crashing down at the end of season one, when it was revealed he had not only cheated on her, but secretly got the girl pregnant. In the season one finale, we saw Khloe vow to walk away from him as she focused on raising their daughter True.
But this is made even more complicated when it was revealed recently that, during filming and away from the cameras, Khloe and Tristan were already expecting another baby via surrogate, which they will now have to navigate raising as separate parents.
In the season two premiere, Khloe talked about how the new arrival has affected her life.
"Ever since December, it\u2019s been this dark cloud looming over me. Every single day, I\u2019ve been feeling depressed and sad, and now that my son is here, I get to move on, and I get to enjoy. It\u2019s almost like I get to close that chapter and be done with this trauma and put it behind me," Khloe said (via CNN).
"Now I finally get to start the healing process. Now I get to start enjoying my life with two kids in it and figuring this out. This is gonna be day one, and this is gonna be the start of something positive, and happy and beautiful."
While Kendall is on a mission to become her own boss, Kylie will be grappling with life as a mum of two \u2013 and we may even finally become privy to the baby name she's chosen for her son after changing his initial moniker from Wolf.
Then Kris is also undergoing a mystery surgery.
That's all before we take into account the multi-million dollar lawsuit they were involved in with Blac Chyna, the ex of brother Rob Kardashian, who believes the family halted her career.
So, basically, it's all go!
The Kardashians season 2 trailer: Is there one yet?
Yes! The first teaser dropped on July 11, 2022, and gave us so much information we were close to overload. Then the main second trailer dropped on August 29,2022, and our brains officially melted with how much was actually going on.
First things first \u2013 Pete does make his debut appearance in the teaser... and in a cheeky scene drops everything when Kim offers to "have a quick shower" with him after a fitting.
It was also confirmed we would be getting an insight to the gang at the MET gala \u2013 most importantly that controversial Marilyn Monroe dress moment from Kim, who in the trailer declares herself a "Jackie and a Marilyn".
Fresh from the birth of her second child, Kylie's shares videos from her labour room, but also appears to open up on her postpartum depression to her sister Kendall... shortly before it's revealed they fall out over something.
However, with the ups come the downs. Kris Jenner breaks down in the teaser as she opens up on a health scare she tries to hide from her kids, and the family get in a panic over a $100 million lawsuit against Rob Kardashian's ex, Blac Chyna, as it goes to trial.
As Khloe says herself: "I wish we could have one boring day in this family."
The Kardashians is available in full now on Disney+ in the UK and Hulu in the US.
