Keeping Up With The Kardashians is on its way back for the second half of season 18, and there's exciting news for UK fans of Kim Kardashian and the gang.

Streaming service Hayu has confirmed that the E! series will be back on screens in September and UK viewers will be able to stream and download the new episodes on the same day as the US.

The reality show had to take a mid-season break as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, but now the wait for fans is almost over.

The new season update comes shortly after Kim Kardashian West spoke out about her husband Kanye West's struggles with bipolar disorder and called for people to be more understanding.

In a statement, Kim wrote: "Living with bipolar disorder does not diminish or invalidate [Kanye's] dreams and his creative ideas, no matter how big or unobtainable they may feel to some. That is part of his genius and as we have all witnessed, many of his big dreams have come true.

"We as a society talk about giving grace to the issue of mental health as a whole, however we should also give it to the individuals who are living with in times when they need it the most," she continued.

"I kindly ask that the media and public give us the compassion and empathy that is needed so that we can get through this. Thank you for those who have expressed concern for Kanye’s well being and for your understanding."

Keeping Up With The Kardashians airs on E! in the UK and US and is also available to stream and download on Hayu. Seasons 1 and 2 are available on Netflix. Season 18 will return in September.
