Kody Brown and his wife Robyn Brown are departing the TLC reality show "Sister Wives" after 16 seasons. The exit follows splits between Kody and his other wives, Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown. The upcoming season will showcase the remaining wives navigating life after these changes, including attempts to mend fractured relationships and address past conflicts.
The bombshell news of Kody and Robyn’s departure sent shockwaves through the family, according to cast members. Janelle Brown stated she “was flabbergasted” by the news, while Meri Brown admitted she was “surprised” and unsure how to process it. Christine Brown echoed this sentiment, stating she “don’t know what it means. I have no idea.”
Recent seasons have documented significant shifts in the polygamist family’s dynamics. Christine was the first to leave the marriage in November 2021, followed by Janelle in December 2022, and Meri confirmed her split from Kody one month later, leaving Robyn as his only remaining wife. The trailer for Season 21 reveals a reunion between Meri, Janelle, and Christine, where they attempt to repair their relationship. In a symbolic gesture, the three former sister wives burn jewelry gifted to them by Kody, with Christine noting, “When we were all sister wives still, this was us at our best.”
The new season also addresses a dispute over a shared Arizona property. Janelle alleges that Kody and Robyn falsely accused her of attempting to exclude Meri from the sale of the land, questioning, “Why are you believing Kody?”
Beyond the fallout from the plural marriage, the series will also explore individual relationships. Christine is navigating challenges in her marriage to David Woolley, whom she married in October 2023, and the couple is attending therapy. David expressed concerns about Christine’s continued connection to her former family, stating, “When you're with me, you're Christine Woolly. But it's that other side, she becomes Christine Brown…I’m coming to the point where it's either me or them.” Janelle is also seeking a new romantic partner with the help of a matchmaker.
