How will ‘Sister Wives’ Season 19 deal with Garrison Brown’s Death?
When the family sounded prepared to kick off another season, it took one to wreak havoc on March 5. That’s when it was announced that Janelle and Kody’s son Garrison died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Sad news around the world, because the young man is 25 and he just started to build a life in Arizona. Garrison is known to have fallen out with his famous father, but is still incredibly close to his mother.
Now we know, not only has the show been canceled, but the season will be fast-forwarding to showcase the aftermath of Garrison’s death.
“This season, the family faced the death of Janelle and Kody’s son, Garrison Brown. Through the terrible pain, the family passed this incredible tragedy and came together to mourn and celebrate their lives,” read the press release.
This confirms the report of Sun which suggested that it shows really in production at the time of Garrison’s passing.

Is ‘Sister Wives’ Canceled After Season 19?
Because of everything we’ve heard, it’s possible that the show is canceled. Of course, the family will want to share their next steps after the tragedy with their fans.
But who will be the star of the show?
It will include Christine and David; Janelle Brown who is now single; Meri Brown and maybe her new ex-girlfriend; then Kody and Robyn Brown, who remain legally married.
But since this was recorded, so much has changed. Everyone has moved on from Coyote Pass, started a new life – really started a new life.
Do they show again that all the wives are scattered in the wind.
The idea of winter 20 really feels like a long way off.
