A Chicago fan wrote to Deon Derrico: her family had loved the Derricos since season one and hoped the show would return. Deon answered in the comments: “Awww thank you, and yes you will definitely see more of us, we are filming right now for our new season.” Pressed — “When do y’all show come back on??” — he reportedly added: “Not yet, next year.”
That October 2026 exchange, reported by fan outlets, is the whole foundation of the reported 2027 return. No network, title, trailer, or date exists. Here is what we know — and what is still guesswork.
“We Are Filming Right Now”: The Sentence That Started It All
The comment landed on a post about the kids helping prepare the Thanksgiving meal, and Deon added that the kids were learning their way around the kitchen. That is why it felt different from a vague promise: “filming right now” is present tense, with a target of next year, meaning 2027. The exchange happened in fan comments, not a press release, according to reports.
A Trail of Promises That Never Became a Timeslot
Derrico fans have heard comeback talk before, and the honest version of this story includes every missed date. On November 1, 2025, Deon posted a video announcing that the family were “officially free agents,” no longer signed with TLC, and in talks with several other networks. Leaving TLC was the family’s choice, he said, not a cancellation.
Earlier, in an August 2025 question-and-answer session, he had said an all-new show would air in 2026, and a December 2025 post pointed to 2026 again. By May 2026, according to reports, he was shooting for a May release. October 2026 arrived with no title, no network, and no date. That history is why fans both cheer and raise eyebrows now.
No Network, No Title, No Date — Yet
The missing-pieces list is short but decisive. No network has been named, no title confirmed — fans do not know whether the new season would keep the old Doubling Down With the Derricos name — and no premiere date exists beyond the reported 2027 target. There is no trailer or press release.

The Family the Cameras Would Come Back To
The cameras would return to a very different family. Doubling Down With the Derricos ran five seasons from 2020 (Season 5 in 2024 was the last on TLC), and Deon and Karen divorced in June 2024 after 19 years.
The kids have grown up off camera since. Darian, born in 2005, is now 20 and an adult. Derrick is 16, twins Dallas and Denver are 15, and the quintuplets — Deniko, Dariz, Deonee, Daician, and Daiten — are 13. Diez and Dior are 9, and the youngest triplets, Dawsyn, De’Aren, and Dyver, are 7. A new season would reunite viewers with kids who grew up off camera for two years.
The Checklist That Would Turn a Rumor Into a Return
Watch for four things: a network name from the network itself; a title and trailer; a real premiere date, not a target year; and confirmation of who is on camera. Until then, the fairest summary stands: Deon says the family is filming again, targeting 2027, according to reports — the rest is still to be proven.
So where do you stand — Team Trust Deon, counting down to 2027 on his word alone, or Team Trailer-or-It-Didn’t-Happen, waiting for a network name and date before celebrating?
