Sister Wives: Will The Series Be Back For A Season 17?

Christine Brown announced her split from Kody Brown in November 2021, just weeks before the premiere of the Sister Wives season. Due to the season’s filming schedule, fans were sure they would have to wait a long time to see any footage of the marriage breaking up, though Christine Brown assured fans they would see it. According to a newly released synopsis, that footage may come sooner rather than later.

In the days following the break-up, Christine Brown asked fans on Facebook not to ask about her family and the break-up because she could not answer questions. Viewers assumed this meant that TLC would be showing the divorce in the upcoming season of Sister Wives. From the sounds of it, viewers won’t have to wait for a new season. TLC seems to have captured the beginning of the end in season 16.

TLC has released a synopsis for the next two episodes of Sister Wives. While episode 9, which airs on January 16, seems to be more about the controversy surrounding the restrictions on the coronavirus (COVID-19), episode 10 seems to bring drama. Episode 10, “The Begining of the End”, airs on 23 January. The synopsis for the episode hints at showing the moment when Kody Brown and Christine Brown’s marriage implodes.

TLC announced the current season of Sister Wives just weeks before the season premiere. The channel was also careful not to share how many episodes will be shown in the season. Still, we can make an educated guess as to how many more fans will get to see.

The initial press release suggested that season 16 would run through the holidays for fans, although it said nothing about the state of Christine Brown’s marriage. Thanksgiving was covered recently and Christmas seems to be the next topic of conversation. The schedule suggests that the season is coming to an end. In previous years, Sister Wives seasons consisted of 10 to 15 episodes. The 15th season consisted of only 11 episodes. All this information suggests that the season could end in the coming weeks, although anything is possible.

Sister Wives: Will The Series Be Back For A Season 17?

Christine promised fans that her breakup would be covered on “Sister Wives”, but she remained purposefully vague about how the story would unfold and when TLC would bring fans in. Based on the timeline of the parting played out on social media, there’s more to see than Season 16 can contain.

Does this mean the series has been renewed for another season? That’s anyone’s guess. TLC is unlikely to announce anytime soon if they have given the green light for a second season of the controversial true-life series. For now, viewers will have to enjoy what’s to come and keep their eyes peeled for any more clues about the series’ fate on social media.
