The Duggar family’s show, 19 Kids & Counting/19&Cwas canceled after Josh’s first scandal. However, at the time, another season of the show was already filmed and a trailer was created. Now, the trailer has gone public, and it’s sparked a lot of conversation among Duggar fans and critics.

If you’re a longtime fan of the family, you may recall when Josh’s molestations surfaced. He admitted to inappropriately touching four of his sisters and one other girl. After the police report was leaked and the news went public, TLC decided to part ways with the family. This led to the cancellation of 19 Kids & Counting in 2015. In a statement, TLC said the show “will no longer appear on the air.”

However, in December 2015, the family returned to the network for a spin-off titled Counting On. The new show was meant to focus on Jill Dillard and Jessa Seewald moving past Josh’s scandal. In 2021, TLC canceled the series after 11 seasons when Josh was arrested on child pornography charges.

So, the Duggar family’s time on TV might be over, but there are still pieces of their story online.

The Duggar family’s canceled 19&C trailer leaks.

On Reddit, Duggar critics posted the trailer and started a discussion about it. In the trailer, there are a couple of family announcements. Jill and Derick Dillard share the news that they are going to Central America to be missionaries. Jim Bob Duggar reveals that his son, Joseph, is preparing to go away to college. This is a first for the family.

The trailer also gives a peek into Josiah’s relationship with Marjorie. In one scene, Josiah and Jim Bob are having a chat about her. Then, Josiah reveals he’s ready to take the next step and heads over to her house with flowers and a gift. Now, we know that this relationship failed and he’s now married to Lauren.

Because this was filmed before the news of Josh’s molestations broke, he, Anna, and their three children were featured in the trailer. But this footage couldn’t be used anymore because he’s in it.

On Reddit, some Duggar critics are talking about how poorly this trailer aged. Others are discussing the many failed courtships.

One Duggar critic commented, “They must have been relieved that we didn’t see all those failed courtships, Siah and Marjorie, and Joe and Carlin [Bates].”

Another adds, “Also, I’m somewhat bummed we’ve never witnessed a courtship falling through. Not because I wish that on any of them, but I just don’t know what it looks like and I’m curious. Why do people break off courtships? Are the social ramifications similar to what happens when normal people break up, or are there differences?”

So, what do you think of the 19&C trailer that was leaked? Do you agree that it’s unsettling, or do you think it’s just like any other 19 Kids & Counting or Counting On trailer?
