Jim Bob, Michelle Duggar Tease ‘New Adventures And Endeavors’ After ‘Counting On’ Cancellation
TLC will no longer air “Counting On,” but it appears Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have high hopes for the future.
The network announced the cancellation of the reality series on Tuesday following Josh Duggar’s arrest for possession of child pornography in April.
On Saturday, the couple broke their silence regarding the show’s cancellation but did not acknowledge their son’s arrest.
“It is hard to believe that more than 17 years have passed since we were first contacted by a production company wanting to do a one-hour documentary about the logistics of raising 14 children,” Jim Bob and Michelle wrote on their website.
“Our family has grown (and grown-up!) before our eyes and on national television, and the journey has been miraculous—following God is an exciting adventure!”
Although viewers will no longer be able to see the family on TLC, Jim Bob and Michelle appeared to hint that it won’t be the last time fans will hear from them.
“We look forward to all the new adventures and endeavors that may come our way, and with so many grown children and wonderful grandchildren, we know our love will only continue to multiply!” the couple wrote.
The TLC stars went on to thank the crew and others who were involved in the production of the once-popular reality series.
Although Jim Bob and Michelle didn’t share what’s next, they insisted they would continue to update fans in the next step of their journey.
“The wonderful experiences that filming has provided us will be treasured always, and we look forward to discovering what’s next for our family and sharing more with you along the way!” the reality stars wrote.
This isn’t the first time TLC has cut ties with the Duggar family. The large family gained popularity on the network following the 2008 premiere of “19 Kids and Counting.”
The show was canceled in 2015 when Josh was accused of molestation. However, the “Counting On” spinoff was eventually picked up by the network and ran for 11 seasons.
