‘We’re Filming Right Now!’ — The Derrico ‘New Season’ Post Going Viral Again Is From 2024

You have seen it in the comments this week. The screenshot, the headline, the triumphant quote: Deon Derrico telling a fan that the family is “filming right now for our new season.” Shares are piling up. Fans are celebrating like the comeback is official.

We hate to be the ones to tell you this — but that post is from November 2024.

The Post Everyone Is Sharing This Week

The story making the rounds is headlined “‘DDWTD’ Deon Derrico Confirms Filming For New Season.” In it, Deon answers fans in the comments of one of his Instagram posts about the family pitching in to prepare a Thanksgiving meal. A fan from Chicago writes that her family has watched since season one and hopes the show returns. Deon replies: “Awww thank you 🙏🏽 and yes you will definitely see more of us, we are filming right now for our new season.” Another fan asks when the show comes back, and Deon answers: “Not yet, next year.”

Read that again slowly: next year. From a November 2024 post, “next year” would have meant 2025. And what did 2025 bring? Not a premiere.

The Red Flags: Here’s How We Know It’s From 2024

First clue: the post Deon was replying to was about the family’s Thanksgiving plans — two Thanksgivings ago. Second clue: every image embedded in the article was uploaded in November 2024 — the filenames and upload paths on the original host point straight to 2024/11. Third clue: “next year,” from a November 2024 post, would have meant 2025.

And what did “next year” bring us? Not a premiere. In August 2025 Deon told fans in an Instagram Q&A the new show would air in 2026 (TV Season & Spoilers). Then came the November 2025 “free agents” announcement — the family was supposedly “meeting with other networks” (Parade). Then a promised official announcement in “early 2026,” then a teased “May release” (Starcasm). It is now October 2026. The announcement never arrived.

What We Actually Know — October 2026

Let’s separate the recycled hope from the documented reality. Here is the Derrico status report, as of today:

No title. No network. No premiere date. Nothing has been officially announced — not by TLC, not by another network, not by Deon. That is the only fact that matters, and it hasn’t changed in nearly a year.

The legal cloud. Karen Derrico was arrested in Las Vegas on June 18, 2026, on charges including felony aggravated stalking and making threats, according to reports. She pleaded not guilty, was released on $2,000 bail, and ordered to wear an ankle monitor. Her attorney claims Deon forged the threatening emails — a claim Deon rejects — and the defense team has asked the court to trace the emails’ IP addresses. A preliminary hearing set for August 2026 did not go ahead; the case was pushed to a negotiation status check. No public resolution has been reported. These are allegations, not convictions — Karen is presumed innocent.

The family reality. Deon told The Sarah Fraser Show in July 2026 that 12 of the couple’s 14 children are living with him (Starcasm). The man famous for military-grade household routines now works as a school bus driver; Karen works as a substitute teacher. On September 1, 2026, their Las Vegas home went to foreclosure auction — and not a single buyer bid.

GG. Through it all, Deon’s mom Marian “GG” Derrico continues her cancer fight close to the grandkids — and personally shut down a death hoax earlier this year.

Why This Keeps Happening — and How to Spot Recycled News

This is not an accident. Old articles get re-crawled by aggregators, timestamps update, and suddenly a 2024 quote looks like breaking news. Every recycled “confirmation” sets fans up for another round of disappointment when the premiere never comes.

So here’s your two-second checklist before sharing: (1) check the article’s actual date, not the crawl timestamp; (2) check the image upload dates; (3) ask the simplest question — did anything actually happen this week, or is this just an old quote wearing new clothes? If a story can’t name a network, a title, or a date, treat it as a hope, not news.

We looked into the viral Derrico story this week, and the verdict is clear: it’s a 2024 quote in a 2026 feed. The new show remains what it has been for nearly a year — promised, not premiered.

So be honest: did this one fool YOU? Drop a 🤦 in the comments if you shared it before reading the date. And the real question: after two years of “next year,” what would it actually take for you to believe the Derricos are coming back — an official network press release, a trailer, or has this fandom been burned one time too many?
