Mama June Teases Season 8 Bombshells — ‘Family Crisis’ Returns With Shocking New Drama

After an emotional Season 7 that wrapped in July, Mama June: Family Crisis left viewers reeling from one of the show’s most personal chapters yet.

\The season followed the Shannon family through heartbreak, legal drama, and strained relationships — from Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson’s boyfriend’s legal troubles to the collapse of Pumpkin’s marriage to Josh, which officially ended in 2024.

But while the cameras stopped rolling months ago, Mama June is already teasing what’s next — and it looks like Season 8 is officially in the works.

From Pageant Mom to Reality Star

June “Mama June” Shannon’s reality TV journey began more than a decade ago, thanks to her youngest daughter, Alana.

Long before Family Crisis, Alana became a breakout star on TLC’s Toddlers & Tiaras, where her larger-than-life personality made her an instant fan favorite.

Her viral one-liners inspired a spinoff, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, which ran from 2012 to 2014 before TLC pulled the plug following reports that June was dating a registered sex offender.

Yet that scandal didn’t mark the end of her television story. In 2017, WeTV gave June another chance to reshape her public image with Mama June: From Not to Hot, chronicling her dramatic weight-loss journey and complete makeover.

Over time, the show evolved through new titles — Road to Redemption, and now Family Crisis — each reflecting a new stage in her complicated, often turbulent life.

A Sneak Peek Into Season 8

Though WeTV hasn’t announced a premiere date yet, Mama June herself confirmed that filming for Season 8 is underway. This time, it seems life behind the cameras might be just as intense as ever.

Recently, her daughter Alana — now 20 and living in Denver, Colorado — was involved in a frightening car accident. While the full story hasn’t been revealed, fans suspect the incident may become part of the upcoming season’s storyline.

To give followers a glimpse of what’s coming, June took to Instagram this week with a behind-the-scenes video from the set.

The clip showed her lounging poolside with her husband, Justin Stroud. The two first tied the knot in a courthouse ceremony in 2022, later celebrating with a second wedding in 2023.

“Come along behind the scenes on this rainy day in PCB,” she captioned the post, referencing Panama City Beach, Florida. One fan even shared in the comments that her son met Mama June at Pineapple Willy’s — a popular local spot — while others flooded the post with excitement:

“Can’t wait for the new season!!! Love you all!!”

“Yes I’m looking forward to Season 8.”

“Can hardly wait for the next season!”

Of course, not every comment was supportive. Some critics questioned why the kids were poolside instead of in school, while one commenter fired off harshly:

“Did Alana pay for this trip too? POS You don’t deserve to be called a mother. PERIOD.”

A Complicated Family Past, A Hopeful Future

June has previously admitted to spending much of the money her daughter earned during her Honey Boo Boo years to support her drug addiction — a painful truth that fractured their relationship for years.

But time, and perhaps television, has allowed for some healing. Recently, the two seem to have reconnected, with fans noticing a gentler dynamic between mother and daughter both on and off camera.

While the network has yet to reveal an official release window, it’s widely believed that Mama June: Family Crisis will return sometime in 2026.

And judging by the early buzz online, fans are already bracing for another storm of emotions — the laughter, tears, and raw honesty that have made the Shannon family’s saga impossible to look away from.
