Sister Wives is a reality TV show that has been following the lives of the Brown family. What makes this family worth 19 seasons of its own are the challenges they face being a polygamist household. Kody Brown is the husband of his four wives, Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn.
The family was originally settled in Utah, but had to shift to Nevada as Utah's law wasn't in favor of polygamy. The series covers the ups and downs and everyday challenges of a plural marriage.
Over time, some wives left the marriage and moved on, while some decided to not give up. However, the new midseason trailer of the show is ready to unpeel a lot of new layers of the family dynamics and hidden struggles. This might shift the dynamics among the family members and affect their internal relationships.
In the trailer, the wives are also seen talking about their personal growth and revealing the challenges they have been facing while staying in this polygamist lifestyle.
