All is not well in the Brown household. Anew trailer for season 19 ofSister Wivesdropped on TLC’s YouTube channelis giving fans a brief look into what’s happening with the polygamist family following atumultuous 18th seasonwhich saw the family dynamic crumble. Things are still looking dire in the upcoming season slated to release September 15th, asKody Brownnow has to deal with the aftermath of his separation from all his wives, save forRobyn Brown. With tensions riding high, season 19 is shaping up to be one of the most dramatic seasons ofSister Wivesyet.
In the trailer,Meri Brownannounces that “Kodi and I are officially done”, whileChristine Brownshares with the audience that she is dating a man namedDavid Woolley, whom she would later go on to marry last October, according to an article byPeople Magazine. Meanwhile, even Robyn seems to be struggling with separation between her and the other sister wives, stating that she feels like “The idiot who got left behind.” Kody himself has a few harsh words to say about this predicament, stating in an argument with Meri “It’s not divorce that sucks, it’s marrying the wrong person,” which Meri retorts in a separate interview that “What sucks is marrying the wrong person and not having the decency to tell her until 32 years later.” All of this is just a peek into what fans should expect from the upcoming season.
The Sisters Face Steep Competition
As popular asSister Wivesmight be, it is not the only show to exist within the Mormon reality TV show niche anymore. Hulu recently released their reality series,Secret Lives of Mormon Wivesin early August, which focused on a sex scandal that involved #MomTok, a collective of Mormon TikTok influencers that included the likes ofTaylor Frankie Paul,Layla TaylorandDemi Engemann. While the scandal is nowhere near as taboo as polygamy is within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,it did make headlines across the internetback in 2022 when it came to light. EvenTLCtried their hand at recapturing the lightning in a bottle that wasSister Wiveswith other Mormon-themed shows likeBreaking the Faith,Escaping the ProphetandMy Husband’s Not Gay, but none ever caught on the same waySister Wivesdid.
Despite this,Sister Wivesis doing pretty well for itself. AsDeadline noted in an articlepublished last year, season 18 ofSister Wivesmanaged to garner 4 million views during its premiere and delivered“The highest ratings the show has seen in a decade.”This also madeSister Wivesone of the most watched cable TV shows on television that week, trailing just behindNFLPreseason that Sunday, according to ratings published bySpoilerTV. How the new season will do in the ratings has yet to be seen, but fans won’t have to wait long before they are back with the Browns.
Sister Wivesseason 19 premieres Sunday, September 15, at 10PM ET onTLC. New episodes will be available to stream the following day on Max.
