Amazon’s Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets Premiere Date

A docuseries on Amazon has been talked about but no news came for a very long time, but now, Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets seems to have gotten a premiere date. In fact, it looks like it will premiere this year and press invites already went out about it.

Shiny Happy People – Duggar Family Secrets

When folks first heard about the docuseries, the news arrived that the Duggars, the Bates, and the Welcome To Plathville family would all be covered in it. Possibly, the “secret” one will be just the first one to drop. At the time of the initial announcement, Josh was still awaiting his prison sentence.TLC had canceled Counting On, and UPTv dropped Bringing Up Bates  While Welcome to Plathvile aired more seasons, it seems the appetite for large families living their Christian lives lost some flavor with the networks.

Shiny Happy People will be made by the same people who produced the LuLaRich investigation. So, it’s unlikely to reveal all flowers and purity. Actually, it’s not known for certain, but the general feeling is that the docuseries might dig into the families from the angle of being cultists. Given the conviction of Josh Duggar, perhaps it’s not going to paint Jim Bob Duggar in a good light.

Shiny Happy People – New Info

Full kudos for the info about the Amazon docuseries goes to Redditor u/Megalodon481 who dug around and dished it on the Duggar Snark community. On Friday, the post noted that Megalodon hadn’t heard anything for ages, so they reached out directly to the “Variety” writer who first announced the docuseries over a year ago. Surprisingly, the writer “actually responded.” Well, that seems to be amazing considering the potential follow-ups to the original story will be in the planning stages right now.

Apparently, Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets soon gets a “Press Junket,” and the media got invites to it. That happens later this month. In fact, the timing seems amazing, as it’s not long to go before more info comes out. The post noted that the junket invite says it happens on “Thursday, May 11.” By then, hopefully, a few more spoilers or teasers will arrive for Counting On viewers.

Shiny Happy People  – Duggar Family Secrets Premiere Date

According to the invite, Shiny Happy People will premiere in June 2023. Naturally, TLC viewers reacted in the comments. Interestingly, the original writer of the story, kateaurthur12 pointed out, “They had just started production when it was announced. A year and a half for an investigative docuseries isn’t actually long!”

U/mocireland1991 reacted by saying, “Oh cool…Great to hear a bit more about it. Surprised they’re throwing the duggars name straight in it ?. What’s the chances famy was interviewed ?.”

Over on Deadline, the show has not got an exact day for the premiere yet and it is still listed as TBA. U/Megaladone noted in the comments, saying, “Of course, with media, release dates are not set in stone. Studios sometimes delay stuff.”
