Kim Zolciak is reportedly feeling good about Bravo's decision to cancel her family's long-running reality series, "Don't Be Tardy," after eight seasons. 

According to a new report, Zolciak, who previously appeared on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," isn't upset that the show won't be coming back for a ninth season and actually feels "free."

“Kim’s not sad about 'Don’t Be Tardy' ending," an insider confirmed to Us Weeklymagazine after the network officially confirmed that the series was not being renewed earlier this month.

"Yes, it’s emotional because of how long her family filmed the show and all the memories they created, but she sees this as a positive change,” the source continued. "She feels like she’s finally free after a 13-year-long relationship to get to do other projects she’s wanted to do.”

At the time that the cancelation of "Don't Be Tardy" was first announced, a source told Us Weekly magazine that the decision to end the series was decided upon mutually between the Zolciak-Biermann family and Bravo.

After rumors began swirling in regard to the end of "Don't Be Tardy," Bravo confirmed the news with a statement. 

“We have enjoyed watching the incredible journey of Kim, Kroy and their entire family who grew up right before our eyes,” a Bravo spokesperson told Us Weekly on May 7. “We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to share their life and all the touching moments with our audience. While Don’t Be Tardy will not be returning for another season, the Biermanns will always be part of the Bravo family and we look forward to seeing what’s next.”

The insider went on to say that after eight seasons, "Don't Be Tardy" had simply run its course in terms of storylines. 

“It really was perfect timing because there wasn’t much else to film in terms of storylines,” the source explained. “She has a lot more time now to focus on building her brand.”

As fans will recall, the series followed Zolciak, her husband, Kroy Biermann, and their six children, Brielle, 24, Ariana, 19, KJ, 9, Kash, 8 Kane and Kaia, both 7.

Although it's unclear where Zolciak and the family will go from here, the insider said she's working on new things at the moment, including a potential new series.

“She’s working on other stuff and working on another concept for a show,” the source shared. “It’s more than the Biermann Bunch — she has other things in the works that she’s not ready to announce yet.”
