My Big Fat Fabulous Life (MBFFL) is set to return for Season 13, and Whitney Way Thore has officially confirmed the premiere date. Alongside the announcement, TLC fans got an early taste of what’s to come thanks to a spoiler-filled teaser.
The Premiere Date
On June 5, Whitney took to Instagram to share a series of photos from the new season. The lead image featured her lying on green grass beneath a bright blue sky, dressed in a flowing pink frock with a flower tucked in her hair — a vibrant, whimsical shot that perfectly set the tone for the show’s return.
Fans were quick to react to the news, excited that July is just around the corner. While Whitney Way Thore often faces her share of criticism, plenty of viewers still look forward to catching up with her life and following her journey on the show.
Reactions by Fans
The premiere date announcement sparked a wave of nostalgia and excitement in the comments section. One longtime viewer marveled at how quickly time had passed, writing, “No way I was 15 when I first started watching! Now I’m almost 25!”
Other fans shared their enthusiasm:
- “Watched since day one. Can’t wait for the new season.”
- “33 seasons is quite a feat! And I have to say you get more and more photogenic with each passing year! Amazing!”
- “You look amazing and I have been following you from day one. Thank you for another fabulous season coming ahead. Hope all is well with you and your family.”

Spoilers from the Teaser
TLC’s TikTok teaser, captioned “Whitney is ready for a fresh start and has big plans! New season, new friends, new possibilities. #MyBigFatFabLife premieres Tuesday, July 1 at 9/8c”, gave fans a sneak peek at what’s ahead.
One of the biggest possible changes? Whitney is considering a move to North Carolina, likely to be closer to her half-sister’s family. Fans may remember she grew emotional when her father, Glenn Thore, mentioned the idea of relocating near Angie Burdett.
Other spoilers for My Big Fat Fabulous Life included her deciding to go for artificial insemination. That might have been what prompted rumors of pregnancy, although it was her niece Jaime who had a baby. Well, her brother Hunter didn’t look thrilled about it. But she made up her mind and spent time going through a box of baby onesies.
Meanwhile, Glenn expressed doubts about Whitney’s ability to raise a child on her own. But for Whitney, at 41, the clock is ticking — as she put it, “there’s no more time.”
