In a candid series of livestreams this past week, Meri Brown dropped major revelations about her current mindset, the future of Sister Wives, and her evolving role both on and off-screen. Fans have been speculating for weeks whether the Brown family matriarchs would return for another season—and now we have confirmation straight from the source. Meri not only verified that Season 20 is in active production, but she also pulled back the curtain on behind-the-scenes tension with producers and her own growing disinterest in the reality TV spotlight.

Meri first appeared live on Facebook Monday and then again on TikTok Tuesday night, where she joined creator Lee—a content figure known for pop culture and LGBTQ+ coverage—for an extended conversation that quickly made waves in the Sister Wives fandom. Although many fans tuned in expecting Meri to spill on the latest drama with Kody and Robyn, they were met with a very different version of the reality star: unfiltered, independent, and seemingly fed up with being pigeonholed by old narratives.

Throughout the livestream, Meri made it crystal clear—she’s tired of the questions about Robyn’s infamous doll collection and even more exhausted by any conversation involving Kody. When asked repeatedly about Robyn’s dolls, Meri brushed it off with sarcasm, joking that she’d never even seen the collection and that she doesn’t care about dolls at all. It’s a small but telling moment that highlights just how far Meri has distanced herself from her former co-wives.

Perhaps even more shocking, Meri admitted that she no longer communicates with either Kody or Robyn unless it’s absolutely necessary. Despite Kody’s earlier claims that he hoped to remain on friendly terms with his former wives, Meri’s words painted a different picture—one of finality and emotional detachment. According to her, that chapter of her life is closed, and she has no desire to reopen it.

What really turned heads, though, was her commentary about the production of Sister Wives itself. For the first time, Meri openly challenged the narrative constructed by the show’s producers. She revealed that she had recently refused to say or do something on camera that she felt was false. “That isn’t how it went down,” she insisted, choosing to stand her ground even under pressure from behind the scenes. Though she didn’t provide specifics—likely due to contractual obligations—her message was clear: Meri is done playing along with edited versions of reality.

Despite this pushback, Meri confirmed that Season 20 of Sister Wives is indeed filming. While leaks and Reddit threads have hinted at production in progress, hearing it from Meri herself offers solid confirmation that TLC is far from ready to say goodbye to the Brown family saga. What remains to be seen, however, is how Meri’s changing attitude toward the show will impact her future involvement.

In the same live session, Meri gave fans an exciting update about her Utah property, Lizzie’s Heritage Inn. Long speculated to be her future residence, Meri clarified that she won’t be living there but instead transforming it into a small event venue. She’s already contemplating hosting a live podcast there—a sign that her entrepreneurial spirit is thriving as she branches beyond reality TV.

She also gave fans a glimpse into her personal life, revealing that she’s dating again. In fact, she recently went on two dates in one day, proving that she’s not just surviving post-Kody—she’s thriving. This modern Meri is confident, independent, and not afraid to set boundaries, whether with producers, ex-husbands, or fans.

Of course, the topic of books came up as well. While Christine Brown is set to release her memoir soon, Meri hinted that her own book might not be far behind. Fans are hoping it will provide deeper insight into her personal journey, though it’s unlikely to include heavy behind-the-scenes tea while the show is still on air. Still, Meri’s evolution is palpable, and her followers are eager to hear her full story in her own words.

What makes this new Meri so compelling is how openly she addresses her past. She acknowledged that she used to be portrayed—or perhaps behave—in ways that rubbed fans the wrong way. But now, she embraces growth, openly talking about her mistakes and the personal evolution she’s undergone. She even took a moment to call out the online hate she’s received about her appearance and past decisions. Instead of bitterness, though, she offered grace—toward herself and others. 

It’s clear that Meri Brown is on a transformative journey, both personally and professionally. Season 20 of Sister Wives promises to reflect that shift, though fans shouldn’t expect Meri to play by anyone else’s rules this time around. Whether confronting production or refusing to rehash tired topics, Meri is reclaiming her narrative—and doing it on her terms.

As we await the premiere of the new season, it’s safe to say this next chapter will look very different. With each of the Brown family members scattered in different states and moving into new stages of their lives, Season 20 could mark a major tonal shift for the show. Some even argue that it’s time for a rebrand—new name, new format, new focus.

Until then, fans can catch Sister Wives airing Sundays on TLC and keep their eyes peeled for more updates. With Meri leading the charge toward authenticity, Season 20 might be the most revealing one yet.
