Rob & Chyna is an American reality television series starring Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna. The seven-part one-hour series premiered on September 11, 2016, on the E! cable network.

Production

The reality series was greenlit on June 1, 2016.[1] Rob & Chyna follows the relationship of Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna as they prepare to welcome their first child. Six hour-long episodes have been ordered, excluding a television special featuring the birth of Kardashian and Chyna's newborn.[2] The show premiered on September 11, 2016.[3] Jeff Olde, an executive vice president of the network, explained the reasons of giving Kardashian and Chyna their own series:[3]

Very few love stories have created as much pop culture buzz as Rob and Chyna's, and we are thrilled to see Rob in such a happy place. We are excited to share the next chapter in their relationship.

The series airs on E!, an American cable network which features mostly entertainment-related programming, and reality television series, including Keeping Up with the Kardashians, another series that both Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna have been part of.[2] The show is produced by Bunim/Murray Productions and Ryan Seacrest Productions, which also produce Keeping Up with the Kardashians.[2]

Fate

On December 14, 2016, E! renewed the series for a second season consisting of eight episodes that was expected to premiere in 2017.[4] In July 2017, E! confirmed the series was put on hold, and not on their current schedule.[5][6]

In 2018 there was continued disputements over the fate of the show, as Blac Chyna made allegations of a serious nature.[7]

Reception

Dave Schilling, writing for The Guardian, panned the show by describing it as "painfully dull" and "astoundingly depressing".[19] Bethonie Butler of The Washington Post noted its similarities to other shows featuring the Kardashian family, and said: "Aside from a comic book-esque visual effect that was used to transition scenes [...], Rob & Chyna is very much like the show that made the Kardashian family a household name".[20]
