Jill, Jessa, Derick & Ben Rumored To Get Spinoff Series In Wake Of Josh Duggar Sex Abuse Scandal

As TLC scrambles to decide whether 19 Kids and Counting will remain on the air following Josh Duggar's sex abuse scandal, rumors of a Duggar spinoff show have already started!
According to a report in Us Weekly, siblings Jill and Jessa, along with husbands Derick Dillard and Ben Seewald, are in talks with the network regarding a possible show of their own.
"They've invested a lot of time in developing these story lines and the last thing they want to do is to throw it all away," a source told the publication, adding that Josh would have no involvement in the project.
But controversy surrounding the family could work against the potential spinoff.
After news broke of Josh's shocking past, four companies withdrew their advertising dollars from the TLC show, including General Mills Inc., Walgreens, Payless Shoesource Inc. and Choice Hotels International Inc.
Meanwhile, audiences – including TLC's once own Mama June – have been lobbying for 19 Kids to be pulled off the air once and for all.
Do you think Jill, Jessa, Ben, and Derick deserve their own spinoff? Let us know in the comments below!
