Sister Wives fans are not convinced the TLC series will return for a new season. In a Reddit thread, viewers believe the series has simply run its course. After nearly 16 years, the Brown family is no longer the cohesive unit that originally drew audiences in.
Kody Brown now lives monogamously with Robyn Brown. His three spiritual wives, Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, and Christine Brown Woolley, left the family over the course of three years.
“The Garrison tribute episode is when the entire series should have ended. There never should have even been a tell-all,” one fan wrote.
A second penned, “I predict there will be about one hour total of new content for the entire season, and the rest of it will be showing us those same awful 12 pictures over and over that they’ve shown us in every episode for 20 seasons!”
“I’m in the same boat. I’m still hoping for real answers, and I can only hope Meri and Jenn [Sullivan] start pushing more,” a third Redditor claimed. A fourth believes, “As long as they have viewers, the same clips and storylines will drag on forever.”
During the Season 20 One- on-One episodes, as reported by PEOPLE Magazine, Kody told show host Sukanya Krishnan that doing the season-ending interviews felt “harder than the year before.” He called them a “special nickname”: the “chicken s*** chit chat.”
In a separate clip, Kody said the interviews make him feel he’s “constantly swimming upstream. I’m tired of the antagonistic discussion. I’m tired of throwing the accusations at each other.”
The One-on-One host shared her experiences interviewing the Browns on the podcast The Sister Wives Professor. She admitted she can only push the cast for information “as far as they want me to go.”
She added, “We’ve seen the family unravel since the first time I sat down with them in 2022, to what’s happening [now]. It’s gaining their trust, too. There are so many layers to this family’s story. Some of it we’ve heard, and we think we all know it, but the reality is we don’t know all the nuances within their own family culture, and we peel back the layers as much as they’ll allow us to.”
Christine and Kody’s daughter, Mykelti Brown Padron, confirmed in an interview for the Growing Up in Polygamy YouTube channel that the family has filmed content for a 21st season.
Sister Wives is currently on hiatus. The series airs on TLC.
