The Bringing Up Bates family has officially reunited with the UPtv crew. They shared several photos from this exciting meetup. So, what’s next for Gil and Kelly Jo Bates’ family?

Fans know that the Bates family’s UPtv show was canceled late last year. It’s unclear what exactly prompted this, but it seemed sudden. Fans were heartbroken and now have long been wondering what the future holds for the show.

Many are hopeful that this reunion is an indication of what is to come.

The Bringing Up Bates crew pays the Bates family a visit.

On Instagram on Tuesday, Gil and Kelly Bates shared a new video with fans. It features several pictures of themselves with the UPtv crew.

In her post, Bringing Up Bates star Kelly wrote:

Some of the guys we’ve learned to love and to call family from the Bringing Up Bates crew and the Up network came for visits recently, and there’s no way to say how thankful we are for the friends God puts in our lives! Thank you Cornel Campbel, Anthony Sozio, and Garrett Cook for all of the smiles you bring to our family! We love you!”

It looks like several other family members went to Gil and Kelly’s house for the reunion. Below, you can see Erin with her son, Carson (Charles Steven IV).

Is the show coming back?

In the comments section of the Instagram post, fans are asking whether the show is returning to UPtv. Many are wondering if this reunion is a sign that the show will be back again soon.

In the Bates family’s new post, they didn’t mention Bringing Up Bates coming back. So, there is no official answer at this time.

Whitney Bates, Zach’s wife, previously said that Gil and Kelly are the ones who are most involved with the show. So, Whitney doesn’t really have much information on the future of the Bates family being on TV. Of course, she promised to update fans as soon as possible. But as for right now, it doesn’t sound like the show is officially coming back.

Bringing Up Bates fans will have to wait and see what happens.

So, do you think this is a sign that the show will eventually be back? Or do you think the crew simply wanted to catch up with the family? Sound off in the comments section below, and come back to TV Shows Ace for more Bringing Up Bates news.
