Duggars Return To TV! TLC Announces Spinoff About Jessa Seewald And Jill Dillard, Josh Not To Be Included
The Duggars are returning to TV—well, most of them! TLC, which cancelled 19 Kids And Counting in the wake of Josh Duggar’s molestation scandal and subsequent report of martial infidelity, announced a show to follow the lives of Jill Dillard and Jessa Seewald.
The Associated Press reported that the spinoff series will document their lives and growing families scheduled to air by the end of the year.
"What we will be following in these specials is Jessa preparing for her first child," TLC Executive Vice President and General Manager Nancy Daniels told The AP, "and we'll be watching Jill preparing to make a major move to Central America with her family, which we know is something our audience will be interested in."

However, the show will not feature Josh Duggar, who is currently in rehab for a sex addiction after it was discovered he cheated on his wife Anna, nor will he appear on any other TLC programming.
Production for Jill and Jessa’s spinoff, which does not have a title yet, will begin soon on “two or more specials.” TLC said the show came to be "after talking with the girls and understanding that this was something they wanted to do.”
