E! Greenlights Reality Pair
Los Angeles — E! will continue to focus on the lives of Hollywood families with two new reality shows set to debut later this year.
The network will premiere in August Kourtney and Khloe in Miami, a spinoff of the network’s popular reality series Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Kardashian sisters Khloe and Kourtney will leave the California-based clan and head to Miami as part of a new eight-episode series, according to network officials.
