Little People’s Matt Roloff talks future of show and says he ‘hates saying goodbye’ as ‘sad’ fans left in tears
Matt first shared a snap of himself in the Caribbean in November, saying, “Hangin’ out at the @soggydollarbar in the #bvi.”
He had jetted there after wrapping up the pumpkin season at the Roloff family‘s large farm.
His trip came after The U.S. Sun revealed that Little People, Big World had been officially canceled after 25 seasons.
The TLC show had first aired in March 2006 and chronicled the struggles and successes of the Roloff family.
Months earlier, Matt had spoken about the prospect of the reality show coming to an end after failing to receive a call from network executives.
He told Entertainment Tonight in May, “I feel very secure in what we’ve put on air — so the idea of not doing any more TV at all sounds fine by me.
“400 episodes or something, you kind of feel like you’ve done it [all], so if there comes a circumstance where we feel like we need to share more, [if] the opportunity comes up, maybe.”

Reflecting on the opportunity as his children and grandchildren grew up onscreen, he went on, “I’m just thinking about what a journey.
“Our family, we love each other… there’s been ups and downs as you can imagine but I think — all in all — I think we’ve accomplished some good things.”
Matt started the show with his now ex-wife Amy Roloff, who he divorced from in 2016.
The show has documented much family drama over the past two decades, with his son Jacob quitting years ago, while Audrey and Jeremy also stopped filming.
Most recently, Matt’s son Zach and wife Tori also exited the program after the fallout over the sale of Roloff Farms, when the deal with his father fell through.
Zach’s relationship with his father is still said to be rocky, and he moved to Washington in 2021 with the couple’s children – Jackson, 6, Lilah, 4, and Josiah, two.
In the final episode, Zach said of his dad, “That ship’s all sailed. There’s not much of a relationship. It’s just doing our own thing. Time might even it out, but everything will be healed, it’ll just be different.”
Sources say Matt was the last person still eager to film, as the members picked up huge paychecks. But his wife-to-be, Caryn Chandler, was ready for it to end.
