Hulu released the drama-packed footage from the upcoming season of The Kardashians on Monday morning.

Kourtney Kardashian's ex-boyfriend made a promise that viewers are in for an exciting season: "I've never seen this much drama in my life."
Scott, 39, has been missing since the end of the show's first season, but fans on social media seem ready to welcome his return.
"Scott is back!" one person celebrated. "Last season was so dry without him"
"The Lord is back," another added, as a third tacked on: "He needs his own show."
A fourth fan gave praise to a higher power for Scott's return: "Thank god Scott is back!"
However, some critical fans were suspicious about the reasons behind his resurgence.

"They needed Scott to save the show," one person shared.
Another slammed: "This season better actually have drama. Past two have sucked."
RATINGS GRAB
The U.S. Sun had previously revealed that outspoken Scott will be front and center in the coming season.
Fans noticed Scott appeared in fewer episodes in the first two seasons, despite starring alongside the Kardashian-Jenners ever since their reality TV careers started on Keeping Up With the Kardashians in 2007.
Now, after his break from the spotlight, a source told The U.S. Sun that it was momager Kris Jenner's idea to bring him back into the mix.
"Kris has always had a soft spot for Scott and thinks of him like a son," the insider said about the matriarch's relationship with her daughter Kourtney's ex.
"So Scott's return was something Kris has been determined to make happen."
The source claimed that the 67-year-old's intention is for Scott to "liven up the show" and attract more viewers.
"(Kris) needs to liven up the show again. It was drama free, and the girls are all now so image conscious; they take everything so seriously.
"Kris misses the old days of drama and trouble - and when Scott's around, there's always something going down.
"He gets how to put on a show and doesn't care about protecting his brand or image," the source explained.
Scott previously dated eldest sibling Kourtney on and off for nearly a decade before they officially called it quits in 2015.
The former couple are co-parents to their three children: Mason, 13; Penelope, 10; and Reign, seven.
COMING ATTRACTIONS
The has already teased some tension, including one scene where Kim Kardashian burst into tears as she bowed her head in shame.
Kim, 42, covered her face with both hands as if she did not want the cameras to see her cry.
The reality star yelled out: "You think I need your permission!"
Kim admitted in her confessional: "Everyone has their own truth about what they think something happened."
Her sisters, Khoe, 38, and Kourtney, 43, appeared to be upset in the next shot.
