After it came out that the oldest son in the Duggar family had molested several girls, including some of his own sisters, while he was a minor, many called for TLC to cancel the show. The network responded by removing reruns from its current scheduling. But sources tell _Deadline_ that a spinoff may be the solution. Discussions seem to indicate that the show could focus more on Josh’s sister Jill and her new husband Derick Dillard, whose wedding broadcast brought in blockbuster ratings for the network last October. The network would not comment on a possible spinoff to _Deadline_. _19 Kids and Counting_ has been [pulled from Hulu](http://time.com/3900113/19-kids-and-counting-hulu/ "undefined"), and advertisers for the show have been [dropping their sponsorship](http://time.com/3899567/19-kids-and-counting-tlc-josh-duggar/ "undefined"). \[[_Deadline_](http://deadline.com/2015/05/19-kids-and-counting-josh-duggar-spinoff-tlc-1201433404/ "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3901272/tlc-19-kids-and-counting/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3901272/tlc-19-kids-and-counting/"},"headline":"TLC Is Mulling a 19 Kids and Counting Spinoff","datePublished":"2015-05-29T12:15:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:44:03.839Z","description":"The network might try to focus on the newlyweds","url":"https://time.com/3901272/tlc-19-kids-and-counting/","keywords":["Television","celebrities","tlc","19 Kids and Counting","josh duggar"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3901272/tlc-19-kids-and-counting/","name":"TLC Is Mulling a 19 Kids and Counting Spinoff"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Know Right Now: TLC Cancels Duggar Family Show","description":"TLC has officially cancelled \"19 Kids and Counting\"","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/quP9p4S8/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-05-22T17:12:04.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/quP9p4S8.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3901272/tlc-19-kids-and-counting/","duration":"PT1M5S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3901272/tlc-19-kids-and-counting/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
