‘Sister Wives’ Trailer: Kody Brown’s Family Goes Through Dramatic Changes in Season 17 (VIDEO)
The long-running TLC reality series Sister Wives is returning for its most shocking season yet, as Kody Brown and his four wives — Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn — go through dramatic changes.
Set to premiere on Sunday, September 11, the new season will take an emotional turn as Christine leaves Kody, altering the dynamic of this polygamist family forever. The split was first made public in November 2021, when Christine took to Instagram, writing, “After more than 25 years together, Kody and I have grown apart, and I have made the difficult decision to leave.”
“I agreed to be a sister wife, but I agreed to be an equal wife,” Christine says in the new trailer (watch below). Viewers are then shown Christine revealing her decision to leave Kody and the fellow wives, which leads to plenty of tough conversations, dramatic breakdowns, and teary goodbyes.
The new season will follow Christine as she is determined to move to Utah to be with her older children. But when Kody tries to stop her, Christine calls him out for favoring one wife and her children over all the others. The stresses only increase as people begin to take sides.
“When TLC first introduced Sister Wives, the country was fascinated by a family with a very different lifestyle than most, “said Howard Lee, President of TLC Streaming and Network Originals. “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 upcoming season will also see the Brown family dealing with the COVID pandemic, Christine’s daughter Mykelti giving birth, and Janelle buying a giant RV and moving onto the undeveloped Coyote Pass property. The Brown family is more divided than ever, and when the season is all said and done, they will never be the same again.

I think women are not stupid enough to want more than 1 partner

And Christine was the first one to jump on the moving bandwagon with Cody. She also told Meri she was not fitting in with the others. She claimed to never move back to Utah and pursued Cody who was direct about his lack of attraction with her. She’s also claimed to be crazy jealous which is why she wanted to be third wife. I just don’t see her as the sainted wife that suffered in silence for years by her controlling narcissistic hubby she married after two previous women.

Kody is looking for something to pin on Christine. Whether or not Christine tried to get along with the other sister wives is not the issue. The issue was that it was obvious to her that he didn't love her, but he loved Robyn right in front of her. It was obvious to the viewing audience as well. He made sacrifices to love her? What a Jack wagon! He makes it sound like it was a chore to love her. No one wants to hear that. He just sounds like a jerk

Yeah you heard that right, the “sacrifice “ comment! Unbelievable, he has children with her to, so so very sad 😢 I feel bad for ALL OF THESE KIDS. I hope the VERY BEST for Christine and all these kids. They should all leave his ass, and come out the other side of this SS on Top Of The World.

One husband and four wives. Who would've guessed there would be problems? Now, there's a new "reality" show with more men wanting multiple wives. How come we never hear of one woman with multiple husbands?

Kody Brown is a CLASSIC NARCISSIST
It is All About Him!
He feels "betrayed" and is "galled" by Christine's leaving the plural marriage, which again makes everything about him. Christine spoke her truth and Kody comes back with the typical narcissist deflective pattern, throwing her feelings and opinions under the bus under the ruse that his "feelings" are hurt.
Better get help Kody, narcissists only love themselves.

Robin being so young caused the downfall for the family only due to Kody's favoritism towards Robin..

When Kody presented moving from Vegas to his wives he said he was concerned about their existing finances and then when they moved their finances became 10 times worse….it was just a ploy to get the wives to move and a lie.
