Sister Wives is currently on its seventeenth run, with the new season launching on Sunday, September 11, 2022, with its first episode titled “It’s Over”. In last week’s episode, the fourth of Season 17, dubbed “And Then There Were Three,” we saw Janelle making an important decision regarding her current living situation without discussing it with Kody first.
In the meantime, the family could not find common ground when it came to the children starting to go to school again. Subsequently, Christine gets all her sister wives together in one room to finally divulge that she is leaving her husband. The fourth episode aired on Sunday, October 2, 2022.
Sister Wives Season 17 Plot & Cast
TLC’s Sister Wives is an unscripted family drama series that revolves around the unconventional family of Kody Brown, which is polygamous, and his four wives, Robyn, Meri, Christine, and Janelle, who are busy raising a combined total of 18 children. Recently, some of them became parents themselves! Unfortunately, however, the Brown household has now been taken apart due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meri, Kody’s first wife, shares daughter Leon with him; Kody and Janelle share six children: sons Logan, Hunter, Robert, and Gabriel, and daughters Maddie and Savannah; Christine, now his former wife, shares six children with Kody: son Paedon and daughters Aspyn, Mykelti, Gwendlyn, Ysabel and Truely; Robyn shares two children with Kody, son Solomon and daughter Ariella, and three more from her previous marriage namely son David, and daughters Aurora and Brienna.
President of TLC Network Originals and Streaming, Howard Lee, in a statement, said:
“When TLC first introduced Sister Wives, the country was fascinated by a family with a very different lifestyle than most.” Lee added, “The Browns challenged the notion of a traditional family mold, and over a decade later, their family dynamics are still resonating with viewers because of their honesty, vulnerability, and now, their relatability.”
The reality show first premiered on September 26, 2010, when, originally, the family lived in Lehi, Utah. The Browns have since moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, in 2011 and later to the unincorporated township of Baderville, Arizona, in 2018.
Sister Wives owes its name to the affectionate rather than competitive or hostile relationship that all four of Kody’s wives share. Although Robyn Brown is Kody’s only legal spouse, Kody insists that his marriages with his three other wives are “spiritual unions.”
Sister Wives Season 17 Episode 5 Preview
This week’s episode, the fifth of the latest season, will see Kody being worried about the cramped new quarters in Janelle’s RV after he gets a tour of the thing. Meanwhile, Meri’s feelings are hurt when her husband asks her to move away because he wants the bed and breakfast to be run around the clock.

One of TLC’s longest-running reality shows, Sister Wives, is said to have returned for its most shocking season yet, and rightfully so, with no drought of teary goodbyes, dramatic breakdowns, or tough conversations.
I love that Janelle is just doing what she wants to do and telling Kody instead of getting his permission. #SisterWives

Despite the fact that the Browns claim to be polygamists, by season 16, we see Kody Brown leading a mostly monogamous lifestyle with his wife, Robyn, in the house they bought together, while Janelle rents a separate house but spends the warmer months in her RV, which stations on the family property in Coyote Pass, and Meri also rents a home in Flagstaff.
Naturally, the Brown family is more apart than ever before, and fans are convinced that by the end of Season 17, there will be changes too dramatic for this particular group of people ever be the same again.
