Little People star Matt Roloff’s career plans revealed after show cancellation as patriarch focuses on new projects. Plus, inside the family feud that contributed to the show’s demise
LITTLE People, Big World star Matt Roloff is focusing on the next step in his career after his long-running reality television show came to an end last year. Little People, Big World was canceled by TLC after 25 seasons, The U.S. Sun reported in November 2024.
The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal Matt’s career plans now that he’s no longer filming for the series. According to business license records, Matt, 63, filed an Annual Report for Roloff Properties, LLC on January 3, 2025.
This is to keep the business license active. The license is for “real estate investments.”
Matt also filed an Annual Report in October 2024 to keep active Matt Roloff Media, LLC. This business covers speaking engagements, TV production events and publications, according to the license.
ROLOFF FARMS
As The U.S. Sun previously reported, the business name for Roloff Farms, INC. was dissolved by the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office on April 13. Matt, who is listed as the President and Secretary of the company, failed to file an annual report for the 2023 year to keep the license active. The description for the business read, “Farming and pumpkin season.”
Despite the license being inactive today, Matt continues to open his 143-acre property called Roloff Farms to visitors for Pumpkin season, which takes place in the fall months.
Matt continues to work on the farm off season, as he posted a video earlier this month of his fiancee, Caryn Chandler, and a worker planting flowers to get the property “prettied up early.” In March, he revealed the renovation of the roof on his wedding barn after a wind storm caused damage.
SHOW IS OVER
The U.S. Sun exclusively reported in November 2024 that Little People, Big World had been canceled by TLC. A source told The U.S. Sun at the time, “Little People is done.
“It doesn’t really have anything to do with the cast members. But many had been ready for it to be over and aren’t too sad it’s come to an end. Matt has this workaholic don’t stop attitude and couldn’t stop himself from doing more seasons, but Caryn is mostly happy it’s now done.
The insider added, “They’re sad they will not be getting paid again, but they enjoyed their time on the show and they are ready to retire soon.
“They are excited for a much-needed rest.”
After the news broke, Matt took a two-month break from social media. He and Caryn appeared to be vacationing at her $375,000 Arizona home in that time. Matt returned to social media with a photo at the beach and the caption, “Lovin’ my best life!”
TORI AND ZACH QUIT
The cancellation came after Matt’s son Zach and daughter-in-law Tori revealed they will not be returning to the TLC series.
Tori said on an episode of their podcast Raising Heights, “Let’s just talk about the elephant in the room. Are we coming back to Little People, Big World?”
Zach, who has been on the show for two decades, responded, “We are not. We made that pretty clear the last cycle.”
Tori added, “But I don’t think it’s been officially announced to people like we are not coming back to Little People, Big World. We are done. That part in our lives, that chapter has closed.”
The show would be difficult to film without the stars, as the only characters who remained were Matt and Caryn, and his ex-wife Amy with her husband Chris Marek. Matt and Amy’s other children, Jeremy, Molly and Jacob, along with their spouses, have not appeared on recent seasons.
FAMILY FEUD
The cancellation came after Matt’s feud with twins Zach and Jeremy. On Little People, Big World, Matt feuded with Zach over selling the farm after he refused his son’s offers on the property.
Zach said on the series, “The north side is the 30 acres my mom and dad shared, and the whole thing was weird, he starts making excuses… suddenly me and my wife are not good enough to run the farm.
“Whether we don’t have the money, don’t have the skillset.”
Zach took a step back from his duties at the farm.
Zach and Tori, who share three children together, even physically distanced themselves, as they moved from their Oregon home to a $1 million house in Battle Ground, Washington.
