Because Gil Bates is on the IBLP board, fans felt that he should have been more heavily featured in the docuseries. The Bates family was barely included in the series.

Fortunately, Cori offered an explanation, possibly hinting at a Bates Shiny Happy People for Season 2.

She explained, “We wanted to go into the Bates!!!! It was just so hard to be able to get everything in. SEASON TWO!!”

At this point, a second season of Shiny Happy People has not yet been confirmed. After all, the first season has been out for less than a week. But based on what Cori shared with fans, it doesn’t seem impossible. The first season is already #1 in the United States on Amazon Prime Video, so it’s certainly getting enough attention to warrant a second season. For now, fans will have to wait and see what happens. Keep an eye out for an official announcement.

  1. NO!!!!! Leave the Bates Family alone DO NOT paint them like the Duggars because they are not like them at all they are more humble and honest people. Just because someone is of the same faith and religious group does not make them like others of the same group. It would be like saying all Catholics or Lutherans are the same they are not every individual has their own faith and how they believe in God. In the end all that matters is come judgement day you have to answer for yourself and no one else.
