There is a lingering doubt if DDWTD or Doubling Down With The Derricos will have a new season in 2025. So, the family head and dad, Deon Derrico, finally opened up about the show’s future. The Derrico family is a fan-favorite as they entertained viewers with heartwarming moments and unforgettable dynamics.
So, fans thought about what’s next for them after Season 5. Derricos had a turbulent 2024 because this year marked the official separation of Deon and Karen. However, it also took away the former’s beloved nephew, Amani, following his battle with cancer. Both incidents were tragic for fans, but Deon promised that he and his large family would get through the challenges. Will Derricos return for Season 6 of their show? What did he say about it?
DDWTD: Deon & Karen Divorced After Almost 20 Years Of Marriage!
DDWTD stars Karen and Deon Derrico surprised fans with their split after being married for 19 years. They filed their divorce secretly, finalized legally on June 6, 2024. The former couple split the custody of their 13 minor children equally. The court asked Deon to pay $1,166 per month for child support.
In the meantime, Karen has taken responsibility for providing medical insurance for all her kids. Deon and Karen’s elder daughter, Darian, is no longer a minor, so it is not included in the divorce filing. Through a public statement, the duo confirmed and announced their separation. On June 15, 2024, they wrote, “Together, we remain unified in parenting our 14 beautiful children – their well-being is our priority.”
DDWTD: Deon Confirms His Family Is Coming Back To TLC!
DDWTD personality Deon Derrico promised to bring his family to reality TV again with a new season. He kept his word as the network is returning with DDWTD Season 6. The first season premiered in 2020, and Season 5 hit the screens in July 2024. Since it ended, there hasn’t been an update about when the Derricos will return to TV.
However, Deon made an Instagram comment on January 13 to assure his followers that he, Karen, and his 14 children are filming new episodes. He wrote in the comment of one of his latest posts, “Yes there will be a new show.” For further confirmation, he said, “We are filming right now.”
In December 2024, Deon commented that he and his family would surely get back to television, but it won’t happen until late next year. Conversely, TLC didn’t update fans about the shooting in the new season or anything. If Season 6 is on the calendar for Derricos and TLC, the new episodes will probably address Deon and Karen’s surprise split.
Even though Karen and Deon have announced their divorce news, they have maintained their silence after it. However, the former appeared in a June 20 Instagram video to say she is doing well following the hard breakup. She added that she planned to go on a vacation, do self-care, and look for professional opportunities. For all the latest reality TV updates, stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers.
