Sister Wives SEASON 20: Kody Brown SEEKS NEW WIFE to REPLACE Robyn, VOWS to WOO Meri & Janelle BACK
KODY BROWN’S “REDEMPTION TOUR” OR DESPERATE RATINGS GRAB?
Season 20 of Sister Wives is gearing up to be the most chaotic, unhinged, and bizarre installment yet—and of course, the man at the center of the storm is none other than Kody Brown. After years of fractured relationships, back-to-back breakups, and a downward spiral that even TLC cameras struggled to edit into something watchable, Kody is suddenly on what fans are calling a “redemption tour.” But is he truly seeking peace, or simply scrambling to stay on TV?
The new season trailer reveals a version of Kody that fans barely recognize—one claiming he wants “healing,” “closure,” and a chance to fix past damage. But longtime viewers know Kody’s timing is suspicious at best. Every apology, every emotional monologue, and every “I want to make things right” moment lines up perfectly with behind-the-scenes legal battles, child-support negotiations, and the high-stakes closing of the infamous Coyote Pass property.
If Kody suddenly wants to play the good guy, fans suspect it has less to do with emotional awakening and more to do with money—and camera time.
While calling his ex-wives one by one for quiet dinners and dramatic reconciliations, Kody also reveals he’s receiving messages from women online wanting to join the family. And yes, that means exactly what you think—it appears Kody is actively entertaining the possibility of bringing a new wife into his life… even after publicly swearing polygamy “repulsed” him just one season ago.
Robyn, meanwhile, clings desperately to her dream of plural marriage while still insisting she “doesn’t want to do it unless it’s perfect.” Fans aren’t buying it. Many believe the whole storyline is a transparent setup to keep the show alive—because what is Sister Wives without actual sister wives?
CYOTE PASS FALLOUT & KODY’S SUSPICIOUSLY TIMED APOLOGIES
If emotional chaos wasn’t enough, Season 20 is also dragging the long-festering wound of Coyote Pass back into the spotlight. The land has finally sold, but the Brown family’s tangled money feud refuses to die.
The trailer shows Robyn insisting she won’t sign anything “until it’s fair,” despite already being exposed as the last person to sign any paperwork during the sale. Fans are calling out the hypocrisy—and wondering whether “fair” simply meant “more money for Robyn.”
As tensions swell, Kody’s sudden desire to “heal” old relationships becomes even more questionable. Christine, who has fully moved on with her new husband David, isn’t having it. She makes it clear she has no interest in being manipulated back into negotiations or emotional entanglements just to make Kody’s financial battles easier.
Janelle, who has historically wavered between independence and giving Kody chance after chance, seems firmer this season. Though vulnerable to Kody’s sentimental tactics, she openly questions why his apologies conveniently align with property deals and legal deadlines.
And then there’s Meri. After years of emotional push-and-pull, cryptic social media posts, and Kody repeatedly telling the world he had “no interest” in their marriage, she finally snaps back with a Taylor-Swift-style, “We are never, ever, ever getting back together.” But Kody’s eyes still linger on her, not out of love, viewers suspect, but because he’s running out of storylines—and wives.
Meanwhile, the kids continue to be mysteriously absent from Kody’s attention, despite him having plenty of time to flirt online with potential new recruits for his resurrected polygamist dream.
NEW WIFE RUMORS, JEALOUSY DRAMA & THE FUTURE OF THE BROWN FAMILY
But the tabloid-worthy drama doesn’t stop there. Season 20 promises to explore a strange new conflict—Christine allegedly feeling hurt or jealous that some of her adult children are moving to North Carolina, closer to Janelle. Fans were baffled. Her children didn’t relocate to chase Janelle; they moved because of work opportunities, relationships, and life changes. Yet TLC seems eager to squeeze every ounce of emotional tension possible from the situation.
The real headline, though, is Kody’s apparent hunt for a new wife.
Yes. After years of chaos, public meltdowns, severed relationships with most of his children, and a collapsing reputation, Kody is reportedly browsing online for women who want to join his family. The trailer even hints that he is flirting or engaging in conversations with women “interested in plural marriage.”
Fans are stunned—mostly because they can’t imagine who on Earth would want to marry into this disaster. Theories range from opportunistic fame-seekers to fundamentalist believers hoping to enter the spotlight. Others think the whole storyline is exaggerated for ratings.
Robyn, meanwhile, tries to present herself as the noble peacemaker, yet continues to cling to the idea of plural marriage while also insisting she’d “need certainty” before allowing another wife. Viewers are calling it what it is: contradictory, performative, and likely designed to keep her as Kody’s unquestioned favorite while pretending she’s open to change.
As the season unfolds, fans can expect shouting matches, awkward dinners, insincere apologies, accusations of manipulation, and the looming question of whether the Brown family can remain relevant without the polygamist structure that defined the show.
Because at the end of the day, Season 20 feels less like a genuine family journey and more like a desperate sprint to keep Sister Wives alive—complete with Kody Brown’s wild attempt to swap out Robyn for a new wife, chase validation from his exes, and claw his way back into the spotlight.
One thing is certain:
Season 20 won’t be healing. It won’t be peaceful.
It will be chaos—pure, delicious, tabloid-ready chaos.
