‘Welcome To Plathville’: Gearing Up For Worst Season Yet?

Welcome to Plathville might be gearing up for its worst season yet. As TV Shows Ace previously reported, it could shift the focus on Lydia Plath. Fans have already been wondering what the fourth season is about. They’re hoping to learn more about Lydia’s life.

The TLC series is about the Plath family who used to live on a 50-acre farm in Georgia. They later moved to town. Parents Barry and Kim Plath are not your typical parents. They don’t want their children to listen to mainstream music or watch television. Their children struggle with the conservative lifestyle and their need for independence.

Barry and Kim Plath and their nine children made their premiere on the network in November 2019.

Welcome to Plathville Season 4 has been confirmed

Initially, Welcome to Plathville was about the family’s need for a simpler lifestyle. However, that transitioned into the broken relationships within the family. The eldest Plaths were itching for a way out of the family. The restrictive upbringing eventually took a toll on them.

It’s likely that the new season will bring about new challenges as their children grow up. Per Variety, TLC announced the release date for Welcome to Plathville Season 4. The family will make its return on Tuesday, May 17 at 10 p.m. ET. The source also included a synopsis of what fans can expect in the new season:

“The 12-episode season will follow the Plath family as they explore new cities and navigate their ever-changing love lives.”

Fans are heavily invested in Ethan and Olivia’s marriage. They also want to know more about Micah, Moriah, and Lydia’s storylines. However, the recent changes in the new season could hurt the show. Since some of the kids have left the family, some people may not be as involved with the show as they were previously.

Changes coming to the TLC series

Welcome to Plathville Season 3 ended with the family’s strained relationships with one another. They were no longer the tight-knit clan they were in the first season. They used to live in the same city, but that’s not the case anymore. Most of the family members don’t even reside in the same state anymore.

It’s any wonder how Welcome to Plathville Season 4 will play out. The reason why this show became a hit with fans was because of how the family tackled its challenges. Since the family members live throughout the country, it’ll be harder to feature each of them in the new season. Not only are the families ties a struggle, but also the distance plays a factor.

Fans want to see their favorites return. It’s unlikely since they wanted to get away from the Plath family for a reason. Welcome to Plathville Season 4 may not be as enjoyable as the previous seasons. Viewers will have to tune in and see how it works out.

Welcome to Plathville Season 4 premieres on Tuesday, May 17 at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
