Overview
- The Season 21 trailer released Monday, Sept. 14, confirms a title card that says Kody and Robyn Brown will not be returning to Sister Wives and that the season premieres Oct. 4 at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
- The trailer shows Christine, Janelle and Meri reacting with surprise to the news and gathering to reconcile, including a symbolic moment in which they melt or destroy jewelry Kody gave them.
- Scenes previewed in the trailer and the official logline show the women revisiting the disputed Coyote Pass land sale, pursuing dating and therapy storylines, and taking part in a memorial for Garrison Brown at an animal shelter.
- Neither Kody nor Robyn have publicly explained their absence and representatives for the couple did not respond to requests for comment after the trailer dropped.
- The casting change follows a multi-year breakdown of the family’s plural marriage, with Christine leaving in late 2021, Janelle in late 2022 and Meri in early 2023, and signals a new season centered on the ex-wives’ separate lives and relationships.
