Though the family has yet to confirm the news, it seems the Duggars will soon be returning to TLC.
The 19 Kids and Counting clan has been spotted filming at various locations near their hometown of Tontitown, Arkansas, but production details have been kept under wraps. All we know so far is that certain family members will not be participating (we’re looking at you, Josh), while others may find themselves moving from the background to center stage.
Sources have already revealed that the new show will focus in part on Jana Duggar’s life as a single woman who struggles to find love while still staying true to her fundamentalist upbringing.
Now, it seems that 18-year-old Joy-Anna Duggar will also play a larger role on the series, as sources tell In Touch that Jessa has been spotted filming without other members of the Duggar clan on hand.
Most recently, Jana was spotted out and about with longtime Duggar friend and party planner Sierra Dominguez.
Sources say the two of them appeared to be shopping for party supplies with a camera crew in tow.
“A camera crew was with them when they arrived in the parking lot, and another cameraman was waiting for them inside the supermarket,” says one insider.
“The film crew included one of the people who used to film for 19 Kids and Counting.”
While we still know very little about the 19 Kids and Counting revival, we think it’s safe to say that the focus will shift to some of the Duggar siblings who were largely overlooked in the original series.
Given the family’s desperate need for an image makeover, we’d say it’s a very smart move on the part of the show’s producers.
