Season two of The Kardashians will address some family drama.

Hulu released the full trailer for the next season of the reality TV show, set to hit the streaming platform on September 22. The new trailer features Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall, Kylie and Kris Jenner plus all the drama that’s gone down since the first season aired.

That drama includes the criticism Kim received after she said, “I have the best advice for women in business. Get your f***ing a** up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days,” during an interview with Variety.

“You saw all of the backlash on the Variety interview?” the SKIMS founder said to her sister Khloe in the trailer.

“No one sympathises with you,” Khloe responded.

“I’m mortified, and I do understand why people were upset,” Kim added.

Kim has already publicly addressed the comments since the interview was published in March.

The reality TV star explained it wasn’t meant to be a “blanket statement towards women” during an interview with Good Morning America.

“It wasn’t a blanket statement towards women or to feel like I don’t respect the work or think that they don’t work hard. I know that they do,” she said.

“It was taken out of context, but I’m really sorry if it was received that way.”

“That statement that I said was without questions and conversation around it, and it became a sound bite really with no context,” Kim continued.

The second season, which Khloe described as “insanity,” also focuses on the Good American founder’s drama with her baby daddy Tristan Thompson, Kris’ health issues and Kendall’s brand 818.

“Going through what I went through was incredibly hard,” Khloe said, seemingly addressing her baby drama with Thompson.

“I just feel that I’m a fish in a fishbowl.”

At the end of the first season of The Kardashians, fans saw Khloe find out that Thompson had cheated on her with a personal trainer from Texas. The news broke after Maralee Nichols filed a petition claiming Thompson was the father of her unborn child in a Texas court.

Before Khloe found out about the infidelity, the Revenge Body star had begun the surrogacy process with Thompson.

The former couple recently welcomed their second child in August. Thompson and Khloe welcomed their first daughter True in 2018.
