Deon Derrico gave this fandom the sentence it has been starving for. When a fan commented on his post about the kids pitching in to prep the Thanksgiving meal, Deon answered straight: “yes you will definitely see more of us, we are filming right now for our new season.” Asked when the show comes back, he reportedly replied: “Not yet, next year.” According to reports, a premiere is targeted for 2027.
Now the honest caveats: Deon has not named a network, a show title, or an exact date. But “we are filming right now” is a present-tense claim, not a future promise — and that is more concrete than anything fans have had in years.
So while we wait for the network announcement, the fandom gets to argue about the fun part first. When the cameras roll again, what should they point at? Pick ONE — 1, 2, or 3 — and defend it like family would.
The Cameras Are Rolling — the Question Is What They Point At
First, the lay of the land. Doubling Down With the Derricos ended after five seasons on TLC, and Deon later confirmed the family had walked away from the network rather than being canceled — they wanted more control over their story. The divorce of Deon and Karen was finalized in June 2024 after 19 years of marriage, and they now share custody of the 13 minor children. Any new season has to decide which version of this family it is telling, because the family of 16 lives a different life than the one the show last filmed.
That is why this vote matters. A comeback season cannot follow everything. Here are the three storylines fans keep coming back to.
1 — Darian’s Music Dream
Darian Derrico turned 20 in late 2025, and she is the only one of the 14 kids who is an adult — outside the custody arrangement entirely. She has a passion for music and has shared videos of herself singing on social media, even asking followers to tag artists and brands to help her get her first break, according to TV Season & Spoilers.

Karen and Deon clashed over Darian’s future — the first time, reports say, the couple was not on the same page about one of their kids. Karen wanted Darian to chase the music career and the dream college path. Darian wanted space to decide for herself, and her parents eventually agreed to give it to her after she missed out on her dream college. Vote 1 if you think the eldest Derrico has waited long enough for her own episode.
2 — GG, the Heart
Ask this fandom who the real star is and the answer is always the same: Marian “GG” Derrico, Deon’s mother and grandmother to all 14 kids. She never needed a storyline.
Her fight has been public and brutal. GG has been battling cancer for years, with treatment continuing close to her grandchildren, according to reports. In 2024, she told fans she would “keep fighting until God tells me to stop,” as TV Shows Ace reported, and in August 2025 fans rallied around a GoFundMe set up to support her treatment. And when fake obituaries about her flooded Facebook in March 2026, GG herself shut them down on video: “I’m not passed, I’m very much alive!” Vote 2 if you think the comeback season should open with its heart.
3 — The Kids, All Grown Up
Here is the option that hits longtime fans right in the chest: the babies are not babies anymore. The quintuplets — Deniko, Dariz, Deonee, Daician, and Daiten, born in 2013 — are now 13. The five babies the show was built around are officially teenagers. The youngest set, triplets Dawsyn, De’Aren, and Dyver, born in 2019, are now 7 and firmly school-age. Derrick is 16, twins Denver and Dallas are 15, and Darian is an adult.
According to reports of a July 2026 interview, Deon said 12 of the 14 children were living with him — and he recently confirmed the kids are learning their way around the kitchen on camera. Vote 3 if the kids are the reason you are still here.
So: 1 for Darian’s music dream, 2 for GG, 3 for the kids all grown up. There is no wrong answer — but there is a right one for you, and the comments are where you prove it. Drop your number and tell us what the cameras should follow first when the Derricos come home.
