Y’all… hold onto your seats because the Derrico family just dropped a bombshell that’s got TLC fans spiraling! After FIVE seasons of pure chaos, love, and multiples magic on Doubling Down with the Derricos, Deon and Karen are officially DONE with TLC – but they’re NOT done with reality TV. In fact, they’re teasing a WHOLE NEW SHOW coming in 2026. But wait… with their divorce drama still fresh, how are they pulling this off with 14 kids? Keep reading – the twists are wild!

Deon took to Instagram in late 2025 to announce: “#TheDERRICOs is officially free agents and meeting with other Networks for our New upcoming season of TheDERRICOs.” Yes, you read that right – Season 6 (or a rebranded version) is in the works, but NOT on TLC! Fans are buzzing: Will it land on OWN, Netflix, or somewhere else? Deon promised “all new show” with “everything going on” – including the post-divorce realness.

Doubling Down with the Derricos’s Deon and Karen Derrico Divorce

The Divorce Bombshell: Split But Still Coparenting Like Pros?

The biggest jaw-dropper? Deon and Karen Derrico quietly divorced in 2025 (confirmed by multiple sources), splitting custody of their 13 minor kids (one adult now). Deon spilled on a podcast: “We are just working it out as a family collectively… No, I am not ‘dating.’ She is not ‘dating.’ Our biggest concern is our children.”

Despite the split, they’re keeping things civil for the quintuplets (Deniko, Dariz, Deonee, Daician, Daiten), triplets (Dawsyn, De’Aren, Daician – wait, multiples names are confusing!), and twins. Deon even teased wanting more kids with Karen post-divorce (yes, really!), but fans are skeptical. Is this coparenting goals or more drama ahead?

Kids Growing Up Fast: College Dreams, Health Battles & Family Chaos

The show always highlighted the kids’ milestones – from Awesome Dawsyn’s heart surgery to Darian’s NYU audition drama. In recent updates, the older ones are pushing for independence (college, dating lessons), while GG (grandma?) paused chemo – emotional stuff! With Season 5 ending on house painting disasters and alien scares (classic Derrico chaos), fans wonder: Will the new show dive deeper into teen rebellion, post-divorce adjustments, or even more multiples surprises?

Deon and Karen remain committed parents – naturally conceiving all those multiples is legendary! But with the family home feeling cramped and kids growing, the future looks intense.

What’s Next? New Network Tease & Fan Hype

Deon confirmed they’re pitching to networks for 2026 – no TLC contract anymore. Fans on Reddit and IG are split: Sad to lose the TLC vibe, but excited for “unfiltered” family life. Catch up on old seasons on Hulu, Discovery+, Prime – perfect binge before the comeback!
