Duggar sisters Jill and Jessa return to TV with new series
Familiar faces. Jill and Jessa Duggar have officially gotten their own series on TLC.
Us Weekly is reporting that "Jill and Jessa: Counting On" will premiere on the cable channel on March 15.
Late last year, the sisters starred in a three-part special of the same name. The new series will follow the lives of the two sisters as they raise their children and likely try to have more (after all, they are Duggars.)
Us says the episodes will show Jessa and her husband Ben Seewald bonding with 3-month-old son Spurgeon while Jill and her husband Derick Dillard balance caring for son Israel, 10 months, with working as missionaries in Central America.
Many of girls' siblings will appear on the show, too, including Jana, Jinger, Joy Anna, John David, Josiah and Joseph Duggar, along with sister-in-law Anna.
"We've shared this journey with the world," Jessa says in the first trailer for the series. "Family is everything."
The girls and their family previously appeared on TLC's "19 Kids and Counting" for 10 seasons before the show was pulled from the air in May 2015 in the wake of several scandals involving their eldest brother Josh.
It was revealed that Josh molested five girls as a teenager, including both Jill and Jessa. Josh later admitted to the acts, saying that he "acted inexcusably."
"Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends," she said in a statement. "I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation. We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing, and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling. I understood that if I continued down this wrong road that I would end up ruining my life."
Shortly after his admission, it was revealed that Josh had also cheated on his wife, Anna, and was addicted to pornography.
"I have been the biggest hypocrite ever," he said at the time.
He later checked into a faith-based sex rehab center, where he remains today.
