Counting On returns in the summer of 2018, and TLC has released a new trailer to tease fans about upcoming storylines.
Jessa speaks out about what fans can look forward to seeing if they watch Counting On online.
“It’s crazy how much has changed in our family over the past year.”
And she reminds viewers that, in a family as large as the Duggar clan, there’s just no shortage of major life events.
“There’s so much more to come. Babies, relationships, and milestones are always happening.”
Duggar fans who keep a close eye on the family may know how a lot of stories end, but TLC’s cameras will offer a front-row seat as several new storylines unfold.
Here’s what you can expect as Counting On returns:
A very short hiatus

Lawd, it’s a miracle! TLC promises fans and viewers that TV’s most controversial clan will return this summer.

There were some real concerns

“I’m just having to remind myself not to let the fears and anxiety take over,” Joy-Anna reminds herself at one point in the trailer.
The controversy continues

Many fans have expressed curiosity as to whether the show will address rumors that Joy-Anna got pregnant before her wedding. Don’t count on it. Controversies might be serve as a ratings magnet for the Duggars, but they rarely address public outcries directly.
Jinger and Jeremy volunteer for some babysitting

Is it out of the goodness of their hearts … or is it practice?
Because Jinger is, of course, pregnant

Fans who’ve kept up with Jinger saw her announcement, and they know it was a long time coming. Jinger and Jeremy were married for over a year before they revealed to fans that she’s expecting.

Back in Tontitown, Josiah Duggar asks Lauren Swanson if she would like to enter a courtship with him.
A courtship cliffhanger!

Of course, Duggar fans know — not only does she accept, but their whirlwind courtship has now developed into an engagement.
An unprecedented courtship

Josiah and Lauren’s courtship has captured the imagination of fans, as the couple has officially entered uncharted territory. Josiah is the first Duggar of his generation to find love on his second courtship, not his first.

Fans are hoping that Josiah’s courtship will go more smoothly this time around. Fortunately, they can probably breathe easy, as wedding planning is reportedly underway. Whatever happens in the months to come, however, Duggar obsessives can certainly count on one thing…
A season of surprises!

Since it won’t premiere until the summer, there’s no telling what new developments will emerge from the Duggar family by the time that the season begins … or ends. But you can bet the Counting On clan will deliver more of what their fans love most!
