’19 Kids & Counting’ News 2015: Jill & Jessa Duggar Might Still Get Their Spin-Off Show Despite Cancellation [VIDEO]
It looks like there might be life after 19 Kids & Counting after all. Even though the TLC network has finally pulled the plug on the reality show following Josh Duggar's sexual molestation scandal, there are rumors that sisters Jill and Jessa - who were sexually abused by their brother Josh - might still get their own spin-off show.
According to CNN on Thursday, it took TLC almost a month to cancel the show, after revelations were made that Josh sexually molested four of his sisters and a babysitter when he was a teenager back in 2002 and 2003.
"TLC and the Duggar family have decided to not move forward with '19 Kids and Counting,'" the channel said in a statement. "The show will no longer appear on the air."
Even with the cancellation, the network did hint that they are leaving the door open for future spin-off shows and specials, which will most likely include Jill and Jessa.
The Duggar family followed up with their own statement on their official web site, writing, "With God's grace and help Josh, our daughters and our entire family overcame a terrible situation, found healing and a way forward."
They also added, "It is our prayer that the painful situation our family went through many years ago can point people toward faith in God and help others who also have lived through similar dark situations to find help, hope and healing, as well," the statement continued. We appreciate the love, support, prayers and kindness extended to us by many of you. You have deeply touched our hearts and encouraged us, during this time."
