Duggars Returning to TLC

Two months after canceling 19 Kids and Counting, TLC has a big announcement to share with fans. Viewers will soon be able to watch specials staring Jill (Duggar) Dillard and Jessa (Duggar) Seewald and their growing families.

The network currently has two or three specials in the works and expects the first to air before the end of 2015.

TLC Executive Vice President and General Manager Nancy Daniels told The Associated Press that the network has been in close contact with the Duggars over the past few months.

Daniels said TLC was amazed by the courage Jill and Jessa displayed as they shared their stories on the documentary Breaking the Silence and during their interview with Megyn Kelly. “Our audience continues to be engaged with what's going on in their lives,” she told AP.

An anonymous production source added that Josh Duggar will not be part of these specials, nor will he appear on any future TLC programming.

More on the AP website.

    Actually these young ladies are not duggars anymore, I'm sure their husbands are tired of being lumped in with the duggars, they have their own families now, let them have their own identity.

      I don't agree. They married the duggar girls knowing that they would be on TV and knowing that they would be on 19 kids and counting. And that they would here there wives be called a duggar. I am so exited they will be on a little bit!!!!

    Praise God!! So many people have fallen in love with this family. Myself included. Their love for Jesus and the willingness to live and share Gods word, has touched many lives. I send my love, and thank you for being willing to share your lives and Gods love with us again. Many blessings for each of you.

      I am trying very hard to find Christian content for my teen girls to watch. I thought maybe the Duggars but am not seeing their love for Jesus at all. In fact they don't follow Most teachings I hold dear. I don't think they spread love at all.

      Yes, People do make mistakes.. But Josh being associated with the show would go against its premise. He's why they got cancelled in the 1st place, and should not be on any show associated with his family and their beliefs, since he's been a hypocrite (his words) to them this whole time. Sorry, not sorry.

    When you hear the initials TLC one tends to think it means tender loving care I don't think you should have cancelled the 19 Kids and Counting show maybe for a little while you could have removed Josh I don't in any way condone what he did however in this world that we live in that so unforgiving I just think it would really benefit your network to bring the show back in to show the family dealing with all this negative publicity as a family watching the rally around and I am supporting her and the four children while Josh getting stuff together and if Tricy does appear on the show let it be when he's in therapy with a good counselor even one that TLC pics helping him really deal with his issues but I'm glad to hear that the Dillard and Seawall w are coming back on TV

    So happy to hear they will have more shows! I am a newlywed as well and have loved watching Jessa and Jill grow up and get married! Ive watched the Duggars since they first had a show on TLC and i was a kid at the time- its exciting to be around the same age and starting a family and see them doing the same - its really neat. Ive learned a lot from the show especially from Michelle and the older girls examples about being patient gentle positive and loving and working hard w a joyful heart. I havent had too many examples of godly marriages and happy marriages but Ive had a great example in watching Michelle and Jim Bob talk about marriage and the way they love each other through their actions - now its awesome to see Jessa and Jill as examples even though they are around the same age as me- cant wait to see some more shows and I wish them nothing but joy and peace through this coming season. Thank you Jessa and Jill (as well as your sweet mama and dad and other familt) for being brave and making your "reasonableness evident to all" so that you can continue being an example of Christ like love in marriage and family that so many need to see. Much love, Megan

All we can do is learn from them and move on. So good luck to the Dugger clan and see you all soon. Love you all.

    Great, they never should have been taken off the air. Josh has his own problems at present, but the rest of the family is an inspiration to our family. Never mind just specials, we want them back every week. I think TLC realized they made a huge mistake by caving in to those who do not like the show. If you don't like them, use your remote.

    I just wish they would put the whole family 19 kids and counting back on the air!! Every family has problems and it should be more so when there are 19 kids involved. You don't throw people away just because there has been a shock with a family member. They are christians and they have done so much good for so many people and they are deep down a really good family. I have watched the show for so long, I don't even remember how long ago I started watching them but it definitely made my night when I knew their show was on. So disappointed in TLC for folding to unhappy people. What about all the rest of us that never wanted the show to be taken off??

    Finally someone at TLC heard the people. They over reacted harshly, and punished innocent members of the family instead of calmly figuring a solution. Josh has major issues, and should have to answer for them. The others deserve support not punishment.

    Scared for all of them
    I dont know if anyone here
    Reads the duggers books but
    The fact remains That "ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God" The Duggers believe in stepping up and owning you have done wrong AND Being forgiven!!! To say that Josh will never be seen again on TLC is to Deny The very Faith that the Duggers are trying to inspire the world with! I will watch again when TLC does an all exclusive on Josh about the WONDERFUL grace and forgiveness of God. After all what is Ben and Jill teaching these people That God forgives ALMOST everything. Or God forgives but Americans do not...what a good subtitle lol. I miss yall too but dont throw your family to the wolves. And Note to TLC These Dear people have sacrificed their personal space for your show. Please dont throw them under the bus. This is their opportunity to prove WHY they are different and WORTH watching.

    I will not watch if they are only featuring the girls with no possibility of the rest of the family coming on later. Josh is getting help and when he is better I think everyone needs to embrace him. He has been open and honest so he can rebuild his life and its not up to the world to condemn him . If they don't want to watch him then don't but he can never fully recover unless he feels like we can let this be behind him and as Christians we should show him Christian love. If this is about a real family then make it real and real families make mistakes and they correct them and support each other . I know what he did is bad but he is paying for it and I say as a family restore him and let the world see how it should be done in this world

Maybe we should see what happens in the rehab Josh Is in. It may help others in a similar situation!!!!! I don't condone what he did at all, but let him who cast the first stone etc.......

    oh my gosh . . . I am ecstatic. I can hardly wait to see the Duggars on tv again. To Anonymous Comment # 7 Just because Jill and Jessa got married does not mean they give up their family. They will always be Duggars. As for Derick and Ben, when they married the girls they were accepted into the Duggar family as will their children. Even though it is only Specials for now, I hope it works into a series for them again. I missed them so much and very happy now. Long live the Duggars . . . <3

I'm sure we will see and hear about the rest of the family too. God bless you all! Praying that Josh gets the help he needs and truly turns his life over to the Lord.

    It's a risky move for everyone involved, the girls plus the network. People are not going to like the fact that TLC made this decision after pulling the plug so fast on the other show. Advertisers on TLC are going to get an earful after they left in droves before. Viewers are going to be angry about how Jill asked for money for her mission trip and Jessa is ready to accept gift cards, when both girls knew they were being filmed & about to be paid for some specials. In fact, the backlash has already started online, and it's not pretty.

      Oh for goodness sakes. Jill asked for donations for her mission. She shouldn't have to use all of her own money on a mission trip. She wants the help of others so she can help as many as possible. As for Jessa, she's expecting a baby. Every woman that has a baby expects gifts. So I'm not sure what the issue is with either of these. As for tlc pulling the plug, they couldn't just start the specials immediately. They did the right thing removing the show temporarily while they sorted everything out. As for the advertisers, of course they don't want to back a child molester. Goodness. This is not all that scandalous. I don't understand why people feel the need I start and why you feel the need to perpetuate drama.

      Nothing at all risky, it is a business decision. A lot of TLC watchers have enjoyed the show, Josh's sins are his own. If TLC decided to respond to the fan base by airing these specials, why not? There is plenty of room in the world of reality TV for Duggars if the network wants to make the show, the family wants to participate and the fans want to watch it, then why not? People who don't care for them don't have to watch. I think it is a good thing that folks will have the choice.

    It was good the Duggars were out of the spotlight for awhile. The kids and teenagers need some time to be a family without the cameras. And they need to deal with the issues that have come up. I'm not happy about this. This might not be a popular opinion, but it is a truthful one.

    Lots of Christians support other Christians on the mission field. They can't go themselves so they feel that's their part in sharing in the mission field. In the bible it talks about how people sold belongings & met the needs of others. Jill didn't go begging for money, she simply offered the opportunity for others to share in her ministry. Just saying.

    Considering some of the other shows they have on TLC, I am sorry to see the Duggar family not on TV... Perhaps overall, it might be better to not have Josh on there due to people's reactions (tho his issues he will have to take before God). I personally enjoyed watching the family grow, and it overall was a more positive show than quite a few others on TLC. Would love to see how Jill and Jessa and families are doing... at least.
