Storyline and plot

The Willis Family is a reality TV show about a family of entertainers that airs on TLC. The series follows a family of fourteen as they work to make their dreams come true at home and on the road. Created by Sean Overbeeke, The Willis Family originally premiered on May 5, 2015 and its second eight-episode season debuted recently on March 15, 2016.

Hailing from Nashville, TN, four boys, eight girls and their parents Brenda and Toby introduce viewers to what like is like on the road. Audiences first fell in love with the Willis’ as finalists on America’s Got Talent, and logging in more than 6 million views of their performance on YouTube. In season 1 audiences followed The Willis Family as they produced and recorded their new album. Getting ready for their West Coast tour and hosting an Irish music festival – all these are to be developed in the current season

Current season ratings and renewal

With an initial thirteen episode run, the first season averaged 1.4 million viewers per episode. The family’s popularity on television and online has propelled them, and their careers — at least in reality TV — to new heights. The second series of The Willis Family portrays Brenda and Toby Willis and their 12 kids settling into a more stable lifestyle in their Nashville house after their nomadic life has (temporarily?) come to a halt. The Willis family is recording another album, dealing with new challenges, homeschooling the children as some roles within the family shift.. It has to be noted that the current viewership ratings are significantly lower than those of the previous season. The most recent episode has averaged just 0.857 million viewers, and scored a 0.2 rating. What this will mean for TLC's further plans regarding The Willis Family series remains to be seen. Stay tuned for further announcements!

Latest news

UPDATED September 13, 2016: Another sex scandal revealed after the controversy-ridden Duggar family has more or less settled its dues – the Willis family patriarch of the popular TLC reality series The Willis Family was arrested and charged with child rape. Following the charges the show was immediately canceled, so obviously there is no season three on the horizon. Farewell, the Willis family, and good luck.

I really enjoyed the show and looked forward to the new one. They are probably are going thrust hard times as it is and now it is getting worse. Why can't the people watch it if they want to ?

We love this family.We watched all showed 1st season.
Before 2nd season started they talked about the mold in their house.So when the showes started it was mainly on the mold and not much of singing and performing like the 1st year.I hardly watched any show all the way threw,I'd change the channel.
We saw them at the mn.state fair 2015 ,loved seeing them in person,so good.

I would love to see these children given a chance to continue their music in the tv audiance. Things that have happened is not their fault and they should be given the chance to advance their career in the music field. Please give these children a chance to prove how resilient they are.

I agree!! No reason that the kids should be held back, because of the alleged actions of their father.

Hopefully the creep will go to prison for a very long time & the kids can move on peacefully.

Can't believe Toby has been accused of this awful crime against a child.
I thought it couldn't possibly be true but reading more it seems as though it may be.
The two oldest seem so depressed.
I guess we know why now.
What a tragic ending to a sweet family.
Peace, Willis clan, peace.

I have watched the TLC Channel for years now, but I liked the show Little Women LA except for Terra. This is a women is so disrespectful and has no common sense. Over this evening do you guys have let her run the show do the commentary on the show. After you guys started another show with her and her baby Is totally on comprehensive. I can no longer watch your channel to even put such a woman on there with no respect for any of the women on the show she can't have a friend because she despises him the next day and talk so bad about them it's just way too hard to watch your show anymore.
You should have more about Tonya Christy I cannot see what Christie does wrong and she likes everyone on the show that's what it should be like a family show where people get along.

Really enjoyed watching & keeping up with the Willis Clan. Nice to watch a show that is fresh & not a TV series that is on the dark side of life. There is not enough programs like the Willis Clan Group. I'm sure TLC ratings would improve with more programs like the Willis Clan With the light hearted programs would bring me & I'm sure others back to start watching more of TLC. Thank You!!

Please move forward with season 3. This is the type of TV we need for families and wholesome living. Giving kids encouragement that to exceed you need to try, put yourself out there and not be afraid to fail.

Some one pick up this family show! A rare gem in a bunch of [censored]. I won't watch overweight people promoting bad health practices or a lot of other bs. But would stay up past my time to make sure I'd catch this american family.

:sigh: Sound like TLC isn't what they claim to be one bit or else they would have the Willis Family back on and support them with some (by some I mean a lot) of advertisement and then the numbers would come up. Don't be so greedy.

These shows are with great family's that just don't exist anymore maybe if they air these more maybe some mite rub off getting back to what family is truly about love seeing growth and changes with these family's my giant life throw out big and fat life 600 lb life got to go nobody is watching these boring and stupid shows.

I'm very very disappointed in the decisions TLC has been making lately.. cancelling wholesome family shows? Full of spiritual morality, and good wholesome family values? I'm specifically speaking about their decision to cancel 19 kids and counting... for what? Being real? Having real issues? The family sticks together through it all!! And now the willis clan? Are you kidding TLC? But instead my fat fabulous life (or whatever it's called) is airtime worthy? Fetish reality shows? That's even better (sarcasm) bring back 19 kids and the willis fclan!! Please!!!!!

The willis Clan offers an alternative to all the violence and bad news across the media/telivision. It a happy hour i look forward to each week and was disappointed it suddenly stopped last night. 24/6. I love this show and im really hopeing you will continue the series. You cant just leave us out in the cold now not knowing where the kids lives take them, if they build again or who gets married. You have taken us into their lives and im sure im not the only one wanting to follow them again

My children just returned from a Willis family tour in Ireland. After building friendships with them and seeing how giving of themselves they are to all those around them; we sure would like to see them back on TLC. They have a way of making you part of their family and although we can't see them very often it sure would be a pleasure to have something to watch on Tv that I don't have to turn off 1/2 way in because of the filth. Please continue on with the Willis Family show.
