Sister Wives season 19 has been a certainty for some time, but according to a source within the Brown family, the season will be coming much sooner than viewers expected.
Sister Wives season 18 left off with the dissolution of Janelle Brown and Meri Brown’s marriages to Kody Brown, leaving him with just one wife, Robyn Brown.
After Christine Brown left Kody in 2021, the chips began to fall for his other marriages until he was left with only his most recent wife, Robyn, to continue his life with.
After tragedy struck the family, things changed entirely for the Browns.
According to Kody’s nephew, Ben Brown, the newest season of Sister Wives will be arriving in August 2024.
Though the seasons typically begin airing later in the year, Sister Wives season 19 covers some highly sensitive subjects that the network likely wanted to release as quickly as possible to provide viewers clarity on what’s been happening in the Brown family recently.
According to Ben, Sister Wives season 19 will begin airing in early August, and he plans to be watching the show for the first time to see some heartbreaking, difficult family drama coming into the mix.
While Kody and the rest of the Brown family who appear on Sister Wives don’t typically react to the events of the season until the end, Ben will be starting a new series on his TikTok account where he reacts to the series leading up to its newest season.
Ben, the son of Kody’s older brother Scott Brown, grew up in polygamy with his father but hasn’t appeared on Sister Wives throughout its long run. He explained that he would be reacting to the show from the beginning, as he’s never watched more than an episode of the show.
During Ben’s reaction to the series premiere of Sister Wives, which originally aired in 2010, he was amused at the way his uncle was portrayed, laughing through the recap and sharing what he felt the show would eventually be.
Although Sister Wives began with Kody and his three original wives learning to accept Robyn into their family, the show has shifted and changed over the years.
While Ben will be watching the entirety of Sister Wives, it will be clear in his reactions when the show morphs from a more light-hearted docu-series to something a bit darker.
During the first several seasons of Sister Wives, Kody’s relationships with his wives change for better and for worse.
With Kody’s extended family now venturing into watching the earlier seasons of Sister Wives and reacting for viewers to see, it will be interesting to see if there are moments that they react to or find inauthentic to the family’s actual story.
As Sister Wives season 19 approaches, viewers are impatient waiting for the newest installment of the series to see what’s been happening with the Brown family after separation and tragedy.
