TLC’s popular series 7 Little Johnstons appears to be ready for yet another season. Trent and Amber’s family have been documenting their journey with their small family for several seasons. They last appeared on
TV earlier this year. Hence, fans predicted that the family might already be filming for a new season. The last two seasons focused entirely on Liz Johnston and Brice Bolden’s baby journey.
However, fans caught a glimpse of the growing distance between Anna and the family in Season 15. She opened up about Amber’s toxicity and controlling nature during the show. The TLC star has had a nonexistent relationship with her family since the premiere. Fans were waiting to know what really went on behind the cameras. Is the family finally filming for a new season? When will it return?
7 Little Johnstons: Anna Confirms Exit from the Show — Says She’s Finally Happy Off-Camera
Anna Johnston has officially stepped away from 7 Little Johnstons, and now she’s opening up about the family tension that’s long simmered behind the scenes.
In a surprising Instagram story, Anna confirmed that she’s no longer part of the TLC series — and she’s happy about it. She shared that the real reason for her happiness is no longer having her life filmed for reality TV.
While Anna has stayed tight-lipped about past conflicts, fans have often sensed tension between her and the rest of the Johnston family. In her recent update, Anna explained that her relationship with her family changed significantly once she stopped participating in the show. Despite wanting to stay connected, she claims they distanced themselves after she stepped away from filming — suggesting that the closeness was only for the cameras.
Meanwhile… Are the Johnstons Filming Season 16?
Despite Anna’s departure, the rest of the Johnston family doesn’t appear to be slowing down. Fans recently spotted Trent and Amber out and about in San Diego with their kids, sparking rumors that production on 7 Little Johnstons Season 16 was underway.
Those rumors were seemingly confirmed when the family was seen with a full camera crew at a recent event. Amber, Alex, and Emma traveled to Georgia to support Allie during her final year of 4-H showing pigs — and TLC cameras were reportedly there to capture the moment.
7 Little Johnstons: Family Spotted Filming While Supporting Alex’s Girlfriend at County Fair
The Johnstons recently made a public appearance at the Butler County Fair — and fans quickly noticed they weren’t alone.
Amber Johnston spoke with Journal News, sharing how excited the family was to support Alex’s girlfriend, Allie Smith, during her final year participating in the fair. “Allie’s been doing this for 13 years, and so we really wanted to be able to experience the fair,” Amber said, adding that it was important for them to be there for such a milestone event.
The visit was also a special moment for family bonding. Not only was it meaningful for Allie, but it gave Alex a chance to connect more with his girlfriend’s family, who have become an important part of his life.
However, what really caught fans’ attention was the camera crew spotted trailing the Johnstons at the fair. One Reddit user speculated that the family is already filming for 7 Little Johnstons Season 16 — and based on the signs, that might just be true.
One fan said, “Can’t wait to see Alex cry because he can’t control livestock.” Another user was sure that Anna isn’t filming for the new season. She confirmed her exit from the show. Hence, it is possible that the network is focusing on Alex and Allie’s relationship to save the ratings. Keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for more updates on the show’s filming.
