One of TLC's most-watched reality series returns this fall as Sister Wives enters its 20th season. The Browns will face major turning points amid separations and evolving relationships as the family navigates a new chapter in their multi-wife household.
The season premiere is set for Sunday, Sept. 28 at 10:00 p.m. ET on TLC, with next-day streaming on HBO Max. The episode will be available to fans with a valid cable login to watch live on TLC or TLC GO, and it will stream the next day on HBO Max starting Sept. 29.
If you were hoping for a new Sister Wives episode tonight, you’re out of luck: TLC is airing new installments of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After and Match Me Abroad instead. Fans can still catch the premiere night by checking TLC for the schedule or streaming options.
Viewers can also watch through Philo, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, or DirecTV, all of which offer free trials for new subscribers. This gives fans several paths to watch the family as Season 20 unfolds.
Per TLC, the season taps into several turning points for the Browns. Meri dips her toe into dating with an awkward but promising speed dating event; Janelle takes steps toward a spiritual divorce after a freeing trip to New Orleans; Christine and David settle into married life, but Christine is shaken when her kids decide to move to North Carolina near Janelle, sparking jealousy and hurt. These dynamics set the stage for a season that promises emotional moments as the family reconciles with changing relationships and geographic shifts.
Sister Wives Season 20 will be available for next-day streaming on HBO Max after its TLC premiere, giving viewers another route to watch the latest chapters of the Browns' journey. The season’s storytelling will continue to explore how each wife navigates life within a large, unconventional family in a modern media landscape.
