Sophia Edwards It’s been confirmed that Sister Wives is set to return for a seventeenth season in 2023. The Brown family endured some turbulent times in season 16 and so things may be a little different in the show’s next season. Christine Brown, who has now split from Kody, also has her own series on TLC – Cooking With Just Christine.

Meri Brown has been a cast member on TLC’s Sister Wives for over a decade and viewers have become well-acquainted with her and her family.
