The latest trailer for Sister Wives season 20 has dropped, and let’s just say, TLC knows exactly how to stir the pot and keep fans talking. Set to premiere on Sunday, September 28th at 9 p.m. CST, the new season promises more raw emotions, fractured relationships, and shocking revelations than ever before. But one moment in particular has fans buzzing—the jaw-dropping scene where Kody Brown casually tells Robyn that another woman has reached out wanting to join the family.
The Email That Stunned Robyn
In the clip, Kody reveals to Robyn that he’s received “another one of those emails” from a woman interested in getting to know the Browns for the purpose of potentially becoming a new sister wife. While Kody laughs it off, the camera immediately cuts to Robyn’s expression—and it says everything. Her clenched jaw, stiff posture, and stone-cold glare scream that she is anything but amused.
It’s a pivotal moment that encapsulates the ongoing tension in the family. Fans have long speculated that Robyn, often accused of being Kody’s “favorite,” would be the last person on board with bringing another woman into the fold. And from the looks of that trailer, those suspicions seem dead-on.
What’s Happening With the Other Wives?
The season isn’t just about Kody and Robyn’s dynamic—there’s plenty happening with Meri, Janelle, and Christine as well.
-
Meri’s New Chapter: The trailer teases Meri dipping her toes back into the dating world. She attends a speed-dating event, where she awkwardly reveals her love language is “physical touch,” leaving her date at a loss for words. While it’s uncomfortable, it’s also refreshing to see Meri finally embrace independence and a chance at love outside of Kody.
-
Janelle’s Spiritual Divorce: After a rejuvenating trip to New Orleans, Janelle opens up about being ready to formally sever her spiritual ties to Kody. With encouragement from friends and even Meri, Janelle admits she’s prepared to move forward in a life no longer tethered to her former husband. Viewers get a glimpse of her newfound confidence as she embraces change, from altering her hairstyle to enjoying newfound freedom.
-
Christine and David’s Married Bliss—With Complications: Christine appears to be thriving with her new husband David, sharing laughter and light-hearted moments. But beneath the happiness, she’s troubled by her children relocating to North Carolina near Janelle. The move sparks feelings of jealousy and unease, showing that even with newfound happiness, family complications remain.
The Coyote Pass Conflict
No Sister Wives season would be complete without drama over Coyote Pass, the sprawling property the Browns once dreamed of developing together. Robyn remains adamant that the land won’t be sold unless everything is handled fairly, declaring, “We are not selling until it’s fair.” But critics—and even members of the family—accuse her of being part of the reason why fairness has been impossible to achieve.
As the family gathers on the property, Robyn voices her anger, lamenting that more energy has been spent on “creating pain and hurting each other” than on finding real solutions. Yet her words only seem to deepen the fractures.
Cody’s Odd Moments
The trailer also showcases some bizarre Kody moments that leave fans scratching their heads. One standout comes when he proclaims, “I want to be naughty,” before breaking into a strange laugh that borders on menacing. Between his offbeat comments and his apparent delight in stirring drama, Kody’s behavior continues to fuel speculation that he thrives on chaos.
Christine and Janelle Draw the Line
Despite Kody’s attempts to reconnect, both Christine and Janelle appear resolute in keeping their distance. Christine flatly tells David that she has no desire to ever speak to Kody again, while Janelle admits she wants to make it clear they’ll never be friends. Their blunt honesty shows just how deep the wounds run and how far removed they are from any possible reconciliation.
Meri, meanwhile, delivers perhaps the most cutting line of all, echoing Taylor Swift with a direct, “We are never, ever, ever getting back together.” The message to Kody couldn’t be clearer—his ex-wives are moving on, with or without him.

The Power of Editing—and the Drama Ahead
Fans have been quick to praise TLC’s editing team for crafting a trailer that highlights both the humor and heartbreak of the Browns’ current reality. From Robyn’s priceless reaction to Kody’s casual “new wife” email, to the fiery declarations from Meri, Janelle, and Christine, the preview captures the emotional rollercoaster awaiting viewers in season 20.
The Browns may no longer be the unified plural family they once presented to the world, but their lives remain compelling, messy, and full of tension that viewers can’t look away from.
What To Expect in Season 20
Season 20 is shaping up to be one of the most dramatic chapters yet. Fans can expect:
-
Raw, unfiltered emotions as the women redefine their lives outside of Kody.
-
Explosive conversations about property, fairness, and moving forward.
-
New beginnings for Meri and Janelle as they embrace independence.
-
Lingering resentment between Kody and his former wives.
-
Robyn’s unease as the possibility of another wife—even hypothetical—shakes her sense of security.
And of course, plenty of strange Kody antics that will leave fans laughing, cringing, and debating long after each episode airs.
Final Thoughts
The Sister Wives season 20 trailer proves that while the Brown family may be fractured, their story is far from over. With each wife carving out her own path, Robyn holding tightly to Kody, and Kody himself continuing to shock with his words and actions, the season promises a mix of heartbreak, humor, and jaw-dropping revelations.
So, set your DVRs, mark your calendars, and prepare for a wild ride when Sister Wives returns on September 28th. One thing’s for certain—whether you love them, hate them, or just can’t look away, the Browns will keep us all talking.
