What will Sister Wives be like without Kody Brown and Robyn Brown?
We’re about to find out.
Ahead of the October 4 premiere, TLC has released the Sister Wives Season 21 trailer.
Kody and Robyn are gone. We’re now following Christine, Janelle, and Meri as they move on.
‘Sister Wives’ without Robyn & Kody Brown? It’s more likely than you think
On Monday, September 14, TLC released the trailer for Season 21 of Sister Wives.
This is the biggest twist on the family show since Christine Brown announced that she was wisely leaving Kody to his happily ever after with Robyn.
“There has been a lot that has happened,” Janelle teases at the start of the trailer.
Christine chimes in: “I don’t know how to process it all, I’m just going to be honest.”
We then hear from Meri, who says: “There have been a few changes recently. Kind of some big ones.”
An on-screen statement then shares the news.
“After 16 years of filming ‘Sister Wives’, Kody & Robyn will not be returning to the show,” the text reads.
That is a truly stunning development — especially since Robyn was the only lingering “wife” of the eponymous sister wives.
Christine, in a confessional segment, admits that she has “no idea” what it means to see these two leave the show.
Janelle expresses that she feels “flabbergasted” by the update.
What’s next for ‘Sister Wives’ without these primary antagonists?
According to Meri Brown, Kody and Robyn departing from Sister Wives was truly unexpected.
“I was actually surprised when I was told that Kody and Robyn weren’t coming back to the show,” she shares.
People are understandably curious about what Sister Wives Season 21 will look like.
For years, Kody has functioned as the show’s primary antagonist — the figure whom viewers “love to hate.”
Now, we’ll get to focus on Christine, Janelle, and Meri navigating their lives at very different post-breakup stages.
Christine famously remarried. Yet she and David Woolley are still getting to know each other in some ways.
Meanwhile, Janelle — who once couldn’t imagine dating again — currently has a new man.
It looks like we’re seeing that process. (Also, did Janelle refer to Kody as having been a “pretty boy” back in the day? Oh, girl.)
Meanwhile, Meri and Janelle need to settle an old grudge — one allegedly engineered by their former castmates. Meri has a lot of issues.
There will be plenty to discuss on the new season. But Kody’s role, it seems, will be that of a haunting ghost, not a co-star. That makes sense!

Well, there weren’t a whole lot of surprises at Arrowhead Stadium last night:
The Kansas City Chiefs once again looked dominant against a formidable AFC opponent, and Taylor Swift was there to cheer on her man.
It was Travis Kelce’s first game as a married man, so it makes sense that Tay was on hand — but some fans thought she might sit this one out.
After all, Swift did miss a few Chiefs games last season.
And as the 2025 Emmy Awards were taking place in Los Angeles at the same time that the Chiefs were squaring off against the Denver Broncos in KC.
So Taylor would’ve had a perfectly good reason for skipping what’s likely to be the final home opener of her husband’s career.
Instead, she was right there in her usual luxury box, alongside Donna Kelce, and … Tom Cruise?!
Yes, for some reason, Tay and Tom were side-by-side and yapping it up between plays.
Why was Cruise on hand? No one seems to know.
The man has been everywhere lately, promoting his upcoming film Digger. But surely that’s not the only reason he attended the Chiefs game as Taylor’s guest — right?
Maybe these two are working on some sort of project together. Or maybe Tay just liked the optics of showing up with the most random A-lister she could think of (and Nicolas Cage was unavailable).
Or maybe Tom Cruise has been a closet Chiefs fan all this time but didn’t want to betray his Upstate New York roots.
Whatever the case, Taylor’s absence at the Emmys and presence at Arrowhead made it clear where her loyalties lie.
And the fact that Tom was with her was a testament to her still-growing star power.
In a testament to her ability to somehow be everywhere at the same time, Taylor also appeared in a sketch, alongside her cat (or at least a cat pretending to be her cat), Olivia Benson.
Mariska Hargitay made her debut as Emmys host, an Taylor might be the world’s most famous Law & Order: SVU fan, so it was a perfect fit.
Few stars are so big that they can skip an award show and still co-star with the host in a sketch about their absence.
Needless to say, the Chiefs weren’t the only ones who won big last night.

In 2026, the world lost stars like Chuck Norris, Daveigh Chase, Nicholas Brendon, Peter Cullen, and Tom Kane.
Though the Emmy Awards themselves were fantastic (huge night for Widow’s Bay fans), the In Memoriam segment seemed to snub some major losses.
Why were some late actors — many of whom had been in the business for decades — excluded?
That’s easier to answer for some of these than others.
Chuck Norris died this year
In March of this year, Chuck Norris passed away at 86 following reports of his hospitalization.
In his final decades, he was best known for unsavory political commentary and for his meme status.
However, years earlier, he starred on Walker, Texas Ranger for 9 seasons.
Though many may think of it as a show one would watch on a lark or, at the time when it was airing, if nothing else happened to be on, the series also had actual fans and intentional viewers.
Over the years, Norris appeared on Hawaii Five-0, The Goldbergs, Sons of Thunder, and more.
Daveigh Chase died this year
Daveigh Chase passed away in June of this year under tragic circumstances. She was only 35.
She began her acting career as a child star, appearing in Donnie Darko and The Ring.
Perhaps her other most famous roles from that time period were voicing Lilo in Lilo & Stitch and voicing protagonist Chihiro in Spirited Away.
To be clear, she also had a lengthy history of appearing on just about every show, especially big shows from the ’90s like Sabrina The Teenage Witch, Charmed, ER, and more.
In her final years, she vanished from public life, struggled with addiction, polysubstance abuse, and housing until she ultimately died just weeks before she would have turned 36.
Nicholas Brendon died this year
In March of this year, Buffy The Vampire Slayer alum Nicholas Brendon passed away.
He was 54 years old. In fact, he was only weeks away from turning 55.
Brendon’s cause of death was atherosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease, with a blockage in the right coronary artery. This caused him to pass away in his sleep.
Brendon had many acting roles, but appearing in all 144 episodes of Buffy for 7 seasons was his true claim to fame. (He also appeared on 21 episodes of Criminal Minds.)
Though the actor had a number of legal troubles stemming from his inexcusably violent behavior towards women (including some guilty pleas), he still had many fans who either were unaware of or chose to ignore this.
What’s with the Emmys snubs?
Legendary voice actors Peter Cullen and Tom Kane also passed away this year. Both were most famous for their television work.
Cullen portrayed iconic hero and sex symbol Optimus Prime, while it is impossible to pinpoint the most famous role in Kane’s prolific career.
Why did the Emmy Awards exclude so many beloved names from their In Memoriam segment?
For the voice actors, they often get seen as “less than” in certain acting circles. Unfortunately, this is why we too often see already-famous actors taking over high profile voice gigs. Sometimes it works. Other times, the project and audience suffer for it.
For the live action roles, maybe they got cut for controversy. Brendon’s arrests for violence against women, Norris’ long history of political weirdness, and the deep tragedy of Daveigh Chase’s final decade may have gotten them cut from the end.
Awards shows are always political (and not in the Chuck Norris way), and the Emmys are no exception. It was probably a mistake to exclude Chuck Norris and Daveigh Chase from the segment, even if Nicholas Brendon’s exclusion is easier to understand.
That said … maybe folks decided that Norris and Chase deserve Oscars In Memoriam segments more? It’s hard to say.
