As fans eagerly await news of Sister Wives Season 19, speculation is growing about the delay in TLC’s announcements.
Historically, the network releases information about upcoming seasons by mid-summer. However, as we approach the anticipated September premiere window, TLC has remained tight-lipped.
This has led to theories that production might be retooling the season to soften Robyn Brown’s image. Many believe this could be impossible.
Robyn Brown has been a polarizing figure since her introduction in Season 1. Her focus on her family’s needs, her influence over Kody Brown, and her role in the collapse of his other marriages have made her a villain to many viewers.
Over the years, Robyn has been accused of separating Kody from his other wives and children, leading to deep fractures within the family.
With Garrison Brown’s tragic death and changes in the Brown family, a question remains: Can Robyn be redeemed? Can TLC reframe her character, or has the damage been done? Fans are divided on whether a redemption arc for Robyn is even possible, with many expressing skepticism about her ability to change.
Fans Doubt a Redemption Arc Is Possible
The possibility of Robyn Brown being redeemed in Season 19 has sparked significant debate among Sister Wives fans.
In a Reddit discussion, viewers shared their thoughts on whether TLC could successfully shift the narrative in her favor. The consensus? Most fans are not convinced.
“That’s what my grandma would call ‘putting lipstick on a pig,’” one viewer commented, casting doubt on any attempts to make Robyn more likable.
Another fan added, “She would have to take accountability for what she did to those women and those kids… I’m not sure she could ever redeem herself.”
The biggest obstacle, according to fans, is Robyn’s apparent lack of self-awareness. “The biggest problem with Robyn is that she convinces herself she is not doing anything wrong,” one viewer pointed out.
Many believe that Robyn and Kody are too set in their ways to change. This makes any redemption arc feel insincere.
The Future of Sister Wives: Where Does the Show Go From Here?
Sister Wives was originally introduced as a show about a polygamist family navigating life together. But after 18 seasons, the focus has shifted dramatically.
With Kody now monogamous and the family split across states, the show’s premise feels like a distant memory.
The recent tragedy of Garrison Brown’s passing has added another layer of complexity to the show. Fans are left wondering how TLC will address this sensitive topic.
Will they delay the season to rework filmed scenes, or will they continue with the current narrative and address the tragedy in a future season? The absence of any official updates has only fueled speculation.
