AceShowbiz - As the new season of "Sister Wives" kicks off on September 15 on TLC, the Brown family finds themselves navigating uncharted territory after the end of their polygamous arrangement. The dynamic between Kody Brown and his wives, Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn, undergoes intense scrutiny as they cope with personal losses and new beginnings.
The emotional impact of Garrison Brown's passing, Janelle and Kody's son, leaves the family mourning while trying to celebrate his life. This tragic event is a focal point of the new season, wherein the Browns come together in their grief. Yet, life goes on, and each member of the family looks to a future that no longer includes their once shared lifestyle.
Meri Brown has made the tough decision to leave Kody, appealing to their former church for an official "release," which is their version of a divorce. The process has created significant tension within the family. Kody's harsh words in the trailer make it clear where he stands, "It's not divorce that sucks, it's marrying the wrong person... Blame yourself if I don't love you, okay?" Meri's emotional plea reflects the strain of maintaining a marriage that no longer holds.
Christine Brown, who left Kody in November 2021 after more than 25 years of marriage, is excited to embrace her newfound love with her new soulmate, David. Their romance quickly blossoms, leading to a marriage in Moab, Utah, that Christine joyfully shares with her former sister wives and even Kody.
Janelle Brown also decides to move away from Flagstaff and confronts the dissolution of her relationship with Kody. She expresses her frustrations over their shared property and contemplates legal action, saying, "I've actually thought about asking if he wants to buy me out... I think I'm gonna have to lawyer up." Kody's belated attempts to salvage their relationship only highlight how far apart they've grown.
The one constant in Kody's life is his fourth wife Robyn Brown. As the only legal wife remaining, Robyn grapples with the end of their polygamous life. "I feel like the idiot that got left behind," she says, capturing her struggle to adapt to a monogamous lifestyle that neither she nor Kody had planned for.
The new season promises no shortage of drama and heartfelt moments as the Browns face their new realities. The complexities of their relationships, the heartbreak of loss, and the search for happiness create a powerful narrative driving season 19.
