The Real Reason Sister Wives Wasn’t Cancelled

Sister Wives spoilers indicate Kody Brown was so desperate to keep his reality TV paychecks from TLC that he and his family actually took a pay-cut to stay on the air.  Imagine having over a dozen seasons under your belt and having to beg the network to keep filming to the point that you are airing your family’s dirty laundry and doing irreparable damage to your kids for pennies on the dollar.

Before COVID and before three of Kody Brown’s wives dumped him, Sister Wives was on life support.  No one cared about the Brown Family any more, and most of the kids had aged out.

You couldn’t pay former Sister Wives fans to waste an hour of their life and tune in to the show every week, and TLC knew it.
