Little People, Big World Officially Ends After 25 Seasons: The Roloff Family Reflects on Closure and Moving Forward
The beloved reality series Little People, Big World, which began in 2006 on TLC, has officially come to an end after a successful 25-season run. The show, which followed the lives of the Roloff family on their 100-acre farm in Oregon, captivated audiences with its heartfelt look at family, challenges, and triumphs. Yet, as a source recently shared with The U.S. Sun, TLC has no plans to continue filming, and members of the Roloff family are ready to move on.
For years, fans watched Matt and Amy Roloff navigate the ups and downs of marriage, parenting, and divorce. The series was famous for documenting their farm’s bustling pumpkin season and the many family moments shared on screen. While Matt, 62, expressed earlier this year that he hadn’t heard from TLC about future seasons, sources now confirm that the network will not be renewing the show. The insider claimed that while Matt was enthusiastic about continuing, his fiancée, Caryn Chandler, was ready to bring the journey to a close. Many of the Roloffs feel content with the decision, noting they’re prepared to step back after years of filming.
The Roloffs have experienced significant changes over the years, with some family members, such as Zach and Tori, recently announcing their departure from the series. Zach cited personal reasons and the farm’s changing dynamics as central to their decision. As he and Tori noted on their podcast, Raising Heights, the couple is committed to respecting their children’s wishes, especially as their oldest son, Jackson, voiced concerns about filming.
The show’s ending also brings attention to past controversies. In 2020, Jacob Roloff revealed he had been abused by former producer Chris Cardamone between the ages of 10 and 13. This disclosure highlighted issues of child exploitation within reality television. TLC responded with a statement expressing their commitment to supporting the Roloffs during this challenging period, while Jacob clarified that no blame rested on his family.
After 25 seasons, Little People, Big World leaves behind a legacy of warmth, resilience, and openness that touched many viewers. With the farm now under Jacob’s stewardship, the Roloff family is ready to enjoy a quieter life away from the camera, as they step confidently into the next chapter of their lives.
