The new episode, “Adam and the Thanksgiving Disaster,” focuses on the Busby family’s Thanksgiving plans in 2022.

Adam and Danielle Busby explained why they decided to return to the series

Many fans were shocked to hear that OutDaughtered was returning in 2023. Adam and Danielle Busby explained via YouTube that they needed a few years to spend more quality time with each other and their six daughters, and they had a lot of clarity in those years. They then felt called by God to return to reality TV and share more of their story.

While speaking to the camera, Adam explained that he and Danielle had revelations while fasting. Adam explained how he learned that God wanted him to continue sharing his story with others. So, Adam and Danielle decided that the next time they received a call from TLC, they’d negotiate the next steps.

“It was apparent to us that it felt like God was pushing us back into this. So we were like, OK, well, next time the network calls — we’re not gonna seek it out — but next time they call, we’ll hear them out, hear what they have to say. This time around, it was literally two days later. It was one of those calls that was very much so more than just a check pulse call. It was a lot more serious of a call.”

At that point, the Busby parents started talking about renegotiating their contracts, which had since expired. “Whenever we came back through negotiations and stuff, we just felt like if God is really involved in this, if he’s going to direct all of these negotiations and make things work out … so now, here we are, months later, all the way at the end of negotiations,” Adam continued. “We were able to work something out that both parties were happy with.”

OutDaughtered Season 9 airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on TLC.
