Sister Wives will return for season 18, but what will it look like after Christine’s departure? Learn about the cast, release, trailer, and more.
Sister Wives season 18 is on the way, and there’s plenty of speculation about the series. The show has surpassed fans’ expectations, and given real insights into the plural marriage lifestyle. While Kody Brown and his wives had hoped to normalize polygamy, the family crumbled.
Sister Wives season 17 was dedicated to Kody and Christine Brown’s divorce. Viewers learned in 2021 that the mother of six had decided to leave Flagstaff and move back to Utah. This happened after it became clear that the couple’s issues couldn’t be worked out. Christine’s now engaged to someone else, which is sure to be featured in the new season. Season 17 showed Kody’s life in a tailspin, as he often couldn’t control his emotions. The father of 18 lashed out at Christine and his three remaining wives. Even though Kody was hurting, the patriarch had brought about his downfall alone.
Sister Wives Season 18 Latest News
The hit reality TV series was renewed for another season in April 2023. According to In Touch Weekly, Christine will return, despite her departure from the family. The publication went on to reveal that Christine confirmed her status as a cast member, and that she’d begun filming in November 2022. This turn of events should prove interesting, given that Kody, while angry, said that he never wanted to see Christine again.
However, several developments have occurred within the plural family since the latest season ended. Janelle and Meri Brown followed in Christine’s footsteps, and left their spiritual marriages. Janelle shared that Kody’s ongoing issues with their older sons caused too much drama within her household, and she ultimately chose to back her children. Meri shared that Kody was the one to have made the final decision about their separation. Not only are Kody’s separations from Meri and Janelle exciting TV, but the Browns have a multi-year contract. They’re reportedly, “not going anywhere,” according to The Sun.
