“Sister Wives” fans and stars just got hit with bombshell news!

The next season of the show will not have two familiar faces on screen, as Kody Brown and his remaining wife, Robyn Brown, have said goodbye to the popular TLC series.

‘Sister Wives’ New Season Marks The Close Of A 16-Year Chapter

It has been confirmed that the next season of “Sister Wives” will not feature two of its main characters, Kody and his only remaining wife, Robyn.

The shocking news came to light as the first trailer of season 21 of the reality TV show aired on Monday, September 14. The trailer kicked off, revealing that Kody and his wife were no longer part of the series.

“After 16 years of filming ‘Sister Wives,’ Kody and Robyn will not be returning to the show,” TLC noted at the start of the trailer. As it stands, the polygamist and his wife have maintained their silence on the issue. Neither of them was featured in the trailer, commenting on the news of their exit.

Clips showing the reactions of Kody’s ex-wives to the news were added to the trailer, all conveying the same message of shock. “I was actually surprised when I was told that Kody and Robyn weren’t coming back to the show,” Meri Brown said 

“I was flabbergasted, really, when I got the news,” Janelle Brown added, while his first ex-wife, Christine Brown Woolley, remarked, “I don’t know what it means. I have no idea.”

As reported by PEOPLE, the “Sister Wives” clan has experienced major changes in recent years, starting with Christine’s decision to end her spiritual marriage to Kody in 2021, after six kids and 25 years of marriage.

Shortly after, Janelle and Meri walked out of the polygamy as well. Since splitting, the women have chased love; notably, Christine married David Woodley in 2023. While two familiar faces will not be in the coming season, a new face, Pete, Janelle’s new partner, will make his debut on the show.

Kody Brown & Robyn’s Marriage Was Riding On Eggshells

Earlier this year, Kody and Robyn sat down together for a “health check-up” on their relationship. During the conversation, the father of 18 revealed that he and his remaining wife were navigating through “toxic” patterns after his divorces from the three other wives.

Kody, at the time, disclosed that they were “fighting for our marriage” and for their life together. He admitted that their union had taken a low blow since going through over four years of multiple breakups.

“We go through these periods where he is back to himself, and we are like who we usually are in our relationship, and it’s really beautiful, and we’re having a great time,” Robyn, in a separate confessional, revealed. She continued, sharing that sometimes, things happen that snap Kody into being the “angry divorce guy.”

The media outlet reported that during their relationship check-up interview, Kody raised questions about whether they felt they were “the one” for each other, as they wore their emotions on their sleeves.

Kody opened up last year, confessing that the rough path of his three divorces left him scarred and closed off doors to the possibility of him welcoming a new wife. 

“I had 18 kids with four wives,” he shared. “It has been three divorces, and I would never do that again, I would never marry again,” he said in a previous interview. As reported by The Blast, the Brown patriarch admitted that the breakups affected his relationship with his children, most of whom have cut communication with him.

Kody, who is now in a strict monogamous marriage to Robyn, said that he was “done” with plural marriages if his wife was on the same page. On the other hand, she explained that her only condition was that the new woman was ready to have a relationship with both of them.

Christine, Janelle, and Meri ended their marriages to Kody in 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively. In a previous interview, Meri and Janelle were candid about their ex-husband’s “big ego” and how it affected their relationship and his interactions with others.

Meri described Kody as “a little bit too cocky,” adding that despite his character, he is fun to hang out with. As The Blast shared, Janelle reiterated that she had moved on from her marriage to Kody; hence, his character issues were the least of her worries.

Later in the conversation, Janelle also gave her opinion on polygamous men. She explained that men with massive egos get into the arrangement but do not truly have what it takes to be a polygamist. Meri and Janelle also disclosed that, contrary to popular belief, they never had to compete for Kody’s affection while they were married to him. 

What other shocking news would we see in this “Sister Wives” season?
