‘Sister Wives’ season 19 is on a bit of a break, but fans want to know when the show will return. Based on previous mid-season finales, the show likely will return in April 2025.
Sister Wives is one of TLC’s most popular reality TV series. That might not have always been the case. Still, in the last few years, the breakdown of the family’s polygamist structure has captivated audiences. Season 19 hasn’t been as dramatic as previous seasons, but there has been more honesty from the Browns than ever before. Twenty episodes into the season, fans were met with what felt like a lackluster finale. They needn’t worry. Season 19 of Sister Wives is over; they are just on a break. While no one is certain how long the mid-season break will last, we have a guess.
‘Sister Wives’ shocks fans with a mid-season finale
On February 2, Sister Wives fans watched a somewhat muted mid-season finale. The following week, Sister Wives did not return with a new episode. The series wasn’t back with anything new on February 16, either. The next several weeks will bring nothing new from the Browns. Instead, fans who tune in will see Alec and Hilaria Baldwin.

TLC has decided to air a mid-season finale for Sister Wives and take a break from the Brown family and their drama. The Baldwins and their new reality show will slide into the iconic timeslot. Season 1 of The Baldwins will cover the couple’s day-to-day life with their supersized family. The show will also discuss the legal trouble Baldwin found himself in after the accidental death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust. Hutchins, a cinematographer, was fatally wounded when a prop gun was accidentally loaded with a live round of ammunition.
So, when will the season resume?
While season 19 of Sister Wives is over for the moment, the season hasn’t wrapped. Additional episodes are expected, likely after The Baldwins airs its entire first season. While TLC has not revealed how many episodes will be in the show’s premiere season, the network currently lists six episodes on its upcoming schedule.

Assuming the first season of The Baldwins only has six episodes, and Sister Wives resumes immediately following the new show’s finale, fans should expect to see more from the Brown family during the first week of April. While TLC has not made any official announcements, a two-month break isn’t unheard of. It has happened in the show’s history.
In 2013, TLC opted to air the first 11 episodes of season 6 of Sister Wives before taking a breather—episode 11 of the season, which offered a reunion special, aired in late September 2013. The series returned on December 29, 2013, with season 6, episode 12. The season had 20 episodes in total.

It is unclear why the network opted to split the season, but it was roughly two months between the two halves. If Sister Wives returns when we think it will, the break will be two months long, too. It is unclear how many more episodes fans can expect, as season 19 is currently one of the show’s longest seasons. Fans are also being kept in the dark about the show’s future.
