If you have been a Derrico fan for any length of time, you know the feeling by now. A tease. A promise. A date that slips. And then silence. So when Deon Derrico told fans, in a recent fan exchange reported this week, that the family is filming right now for a new season, the group did not just cheer. It mobilised. Drop a YES, fans said, if you want the Derricos back — and this time, make it impossible to ignore.
Let us be honest about where this stands before the excitement runs away with us. There is no network announcement. There is no title. There is no premiere date. What exists is Deon’s word, reported by fan outlets, plus a long trail of earlier promises that never turned into a timeslot. That is exactly why this YES matters: it is not a celebration of a done deal. It is a demand for one.
The Post That Restarted the Countdown
The spark, as fans tell it in the group, was simple: a follower begged for the show’s return, and Deon answered straight — the cameras are rolling again for a new season, with a premiere not yet set and, reportedly, targeted for next year. In a fandom waiting since the TLC run ended after five seasons, that set off a fresh wave of YES posts and throwback photos.
It also fits a pattern fans know well. Deon has teased a comeback before. In an Instagram question-and-answer session in August 2025, he said an all-new show with all-new episodes would air in 2026. By May 2026, he was, according to reports, shooting for a May release. It is now late October 2026, and there is still no title, no network and no date attached to any announcement. Fans are not angry about the wait so much as tired of being asked to wait on faith alone.
What Deon Has Actually Said — and What He Has Not
Here is the clean version, with the gaps left visible. Deon has confirmed the family walked away from TLC after five seasons — their choice, he has said, because they wanted more control over their story — and that there would be no Season 6 on that network. He has floated a new show on a new network, and he has even floated releasing footage himself if no network deal lands. What he has not done, as far as any public announcement goes, is name a network, a title or a premiere date.
That distinction matters, because the internet fills gaps fast with “confirmed” graphics that are really just fan hope dressed as news. Until a network or the family issues a formal announcement, treat every date you see as unconfirmed.

There is a reason this YES campaign feels different from the last one. The family fans would be welcoming back is not the family from the early seasons. Fourteen children, four sets of multiples, and years of growing up in public: the eldest, Darian, is now a young adult chasing a music dream on her own terms, and the younger kids fans first met as toddlers are teenagers now. A comeback would not be a nostalgia lap, but a genuinely new chapter.
Then there is the other reason fans keep posting: they feel protective. Fake death hoaxes about grandmother Marian “GG” Derrico spread across Facebook earlier this year, until GG herself had to film a video saying she was alive and well. When a fandom has had to defend its favourite grandmother from made-up obituaries, a simple, honest YES starts to feel like the least fans can do — a visible count that says the real family still has a real audience.
The One Question Every YES Has to Answer
So here is the question, plain and simple: drop a YES if you want the Derricos back. But while you are at it, answer the harder part too. Where should they land? Back on familiar ground, on a streaming service, or straight to fans, released by Deon himself? Each route changes the show. A network brings reach and polish. A self-release brings control — the very thing Deon said the family left TLC to get — but also risk, cost and a much smaller megaphone.
Fans are split, and that split is the debate worth having while we wait for a real announcement. Some say any screen beats no screen; others say a rushed comeback would be worse than waiting for the right deal. So drop your YES below — and tell us where you want to see it. Because if Deon is right and the cameras really are rolling, the next announcement should not be another tease. It should be a date.
