The Duggar family is known for its ever-expanding brood, and one more progeny might be on the way: a spinoff to its hit series, 19 Kids and Counting. Deadline reports that as advertisers pull their sponsorships from 19 Kids and Counting after Josh Duggar's child molestation revelation, TLC, which airs the show, is considering a new offshoot that focuses on newlyweds Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard.
Duggar and Dillard's wedding episode drew in an average of 4.4 million people when it aired last October, a record for the series, so it's no surprise TLC is considering hanging its wholesome-family hat on the popular young couple. Granted, rumors about a potential spinoff for Duggar and Dillard have surfaced before — but with more and more details emerging about Josh Duggar's conduct, it's not unlikely the network is brainstorming backup plans. TLC declined to comment to Deadline about the rumors.
