Speaking about the show’s origins and its concept, the production company, Puddle Jumper, has shared on its website where the idea of such a show came from.

Founder Tim Gibbons is largely responsible for assembling the show after he developed its vision and found Kody Brown through a group of polygamists. Gibbons plan was not “to create a debate on whether polygamy was right or wrong but rather to simply document a polygamist family and let the viewers decide for themselves what they thought of the lifestyle.”

While the Brown Family has fallen on hard times with the division of their large family, the TLC series will continue with the show renewed for season 18. Christine Brown has also confirmed she will be back for the new season, filming from her new home in Utah. As for Meri Brown and Janelle Brown it is unclear of they will return but according to speculation, the pair will most likely sign on for another season.
