Sister Wives Season 20 Release Date
TLC has confirmed that Sister Wives Season 20 will premiere on September 28, 2025, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Nearly fifteen years after its debut, the long-running reality series continues to follow the Browns as their family structure undergoes dramatic change.
What began as a look into one polygamist marriage has gradually shifted into a chronicle of separations, new beginnings, and ongoing efforts to maintain family connections.
The Browns are making their return to the screen as they look ahead to the future on the new season of Sister Wives. Healing old wounds, exploring exciting new adventures, and redefining what it means to be a plural family, this season promises fresh perspectives. The latest chapter in their journey will premiere on Sunday, September 28, at 10/9c on TLC, as shared by the network's official X account (@TLC).

The series will continue to air on TLC on Sunday nights. New episodes will also be available to stream beginning the next day on HBO Max (previously discovery+).

Who Will Appear in Season 20?
The main cast remains centered on Kody Brown and his family members, though their lives look very different compared to earlier seasons:
-
Kody Brown – Still the focal point, navigating fractured relationships. Previews suggest more one-on-one conversations with his former wives.
-
Robyn Brown – His only current legal wife, still vocal about her belief in plural marriage despite being in a de facto monogamous relationship.
-
Meri Brown – No longer in a relationship with Kody. Season previews show her exploring new social and dating experiences.
-
Janelle Brown – Moving forward after announcing her separation. Teasers highlight her travels and steps toward establishing independence.
-
Christine Brown and David Woolley – Christine’s remarriage and life with David will feature prominently, while also exploring how her children are adjusting to major changes.
Adult children continue to make appearances, though not always as regulars. Their perspectives, particularly around their parents’ divorces, often add context and emotional weight to the series.
What to Expect in Season 20?
TLC has hinted that this season will focus on closure and transition rather than the day-to-day logistics of a shared household. From the trailer and network statements, viewers can expect:
-
One-on-One Conversations – Kody sits down individually with his exes, raising questions about accountability and family healing.
-
Meri’s New Path – A storyline built around rediscovering her independence, including her attempts to reenter the dating world.
-
Janelle’s Turning Point – Featured scenes show her reevaluating her relationship with Kody and pursuing her own goals.
-
Christine’s New Life – Her marriage to David Woolley and her children’s next steps provide contrasting themes of happiness and transition.
-
Robyn’s Struggles – Still expressing her wish for a plural family, despite Kody beginning to explore other possibilities outside that vision.
-
Coyote Pass Property – Land disputes remain unresolved, continuing a thread carried over from past seasons.
The tone, based on TLC’s promotional material, emphasizes reconciliation where possible, but also accepts that the Browns are no longer functioning as one household.
Some storylines are lighthearted, but the central arc appears to revolve around how the family adapts to its current, very different structure.
Sister Wives has evolved significantly from its early seasons. Season 20 will not revisit the original premise of one large household under polygamy, but rather highlight the ways its former members are creating individual paths while still remaining connected.
The longevity of the show now comes from this shift: documenting the realities of family restructuring in public view and allowing audiences to see both setbacks and progress.
The new season begins Sunday, September 28, 2025, on TLC, with streaming available on HBO Max starting September 29.
