Sister Wives fans watched the Brown family implode during season 17. The season, which ran from September 2022 to January 2023, was the show’s most dramatic yet. Season 18 of Sister Wives could offer some stiff competition, though. Since the end of the last season, fans have been clamoring to find out when the series will continue. Paedon Brown, the only son of Christine and Kody Brown, just leaked premiere date information. What Will the upcoming season cover?

Paedon Brown leaks ‘Sister Wives’ season 18 premiere date on TikTok 

Paedon Brown is back on TikTok after a brief hiatus. The break has done little to stop him from sharing Sister Wives’ secrets and news. During his return Live event, Paedon told fans that they could expect to see another season of Sister Wives in September 2023. 

Paedon didn’t share a specific release date, but September still narrows it down pretty well. The show will likely keep its successful Sunday at 10 pm timeslot, so there are only four potential dates for the premiere. Season 17 also premiered in the fall. With a Sept. 11 premiere date, the series ran through January 2023. Fans are hoping for a long season this time around, too. 

While Paedon claims season 18 will premiere in September 2023, TLC has not publicly announced a release date. In fact, the network has not asserted that there will be a new season at all yet. That’s not particularly surprising, though. The network is well-known for holding onto announcements until shortly before a new season premieres. 

Janelle Brown’s departure seems like the most likely main storyline for season 18 of ‘Sister Wives’

Season 17 of Sister Wives covered Christine Brown’s decision to leave the Browns and move to Utah. The divorce and its emotional fallout eclipsed all other storylines. Now that Christine is settled in a new state and enjoying a new relationship, fans can’t help but wonder what season 18 will focus on.

If season 18 follows the same formula as season 17, a couple of storylines have the potential to take center stage. Janelle Brown’s decision to separate from Kody Brown feels like the most natural storyline to focus on. Janelle is another fan favorite, and fans have been hoping she’d step away from her troubled marriage. She announced her separation during the season 17 tell-all episodes, so naturally, the upcoming season should pick up from there.

Meri Brown’s admission that her marriage is officially over could make for great reality TV, too. Still, it seems unlikely that Sister Wives will cover it in season 18. The notion that her marriage was truly dead didn’t dawn on Meri until recently. Since the show’s footage is about a year old when it airs, it seems unlikely that Meri’s sudden realization will make it into the upcoming season. 

Will Christine Brown’s new relationship be featured in the upcoming season?

While it seems likely that Janelle Brown’s decision to step back from her plural marriage will take center stage in season 18 of Sister Wives, there is another storyline fans hope to see. Fans are hoping to get a closer look at Christine Brown’s new relationship

Shortly after announcing the end of her marriage, Christine made it clear that she wasn’t against the idea of entertaining romance again. In fact., it’s something the mother of six insisted she wanted in her life. Moving forward with monogamy was Christine’s game plan. She’s made that happen. Christine announced her new relationship last month, and fans are wondering if the announcement’s timing is fortuitous. 

While we’d love to see Christine fall in love in front of TLC’s cameras, we don’t think it will happen this season. Christine hasn’t been dating her new man, David Woolley, all that long. Since the footage that will air is about a year old, it seems like David wasn’t yet in Christine’s life when filming for the upcoming season wrapped. We are hopeful that Sister Wives will feature their romance in a future season, though.
