Welcome To Plathville  Season 5 Left Loose Ends

Seemingly, Welcome To Plathville left many loose ends with the Plath family after Season 5. While the split between Ethan and Olivia Plath was the main focus at the end of the season, Kim Plath was also starting a new chapter in her dating life. Additionally, each of the Plath kids was traveling their paths to find themselves leaving many areas to continue in their stories. Although some Plaths are on better terms with the conclusion which lines up new opportunities for developing storylines in a new season.

Fans Wrestle With The Long Wait For Welcome To Plathville 

One Welcome To Plathville fan on Reddit says, “Did this show get canceled?” Then they add, “I haven’t seen a new episode posted since early December. Or was that the end of the season? If so it seems like a weird episode to end on.” Although the long wait is keeping fans wondering about the status of Season 6, some helpful fans brought clarity to the anticipation.

Helpful Fans Give Information

After the initial post on Reddit, other Welcome To Plathville fans leave contributing details to help clear things up.

  • “It was end of the season. I thought Olivia mentioned they were filming again, if I am remembering correctly.”
  • “I think Olivia said something about if there’s a season 6, she will definitely be in it. Bc apparently, there’s a lot of footage already shot from after the season ended. So I think that’s what she meant. Not sure a new season is confirmed per se, but also, I’m an idiot and have no actual idea.”
  • “Please don’t call yourself an idiot because u don’t know if a show called PLATHVILLE is confirmed 💔♥️ Lol, I think you are right that it is being filmed rn!! because Olivia was just filming a podcast the other day for So bad it’s good with ryan bailey.”
  • “You aren’t an idiot. We’re all just speculating.”
  • “They need to keep Olivia so there is one rational person on the show. 😜.” Another agrees, “Right?! I can’t imagine the show without Olivia.”
  • Another fan discusses Olivia Plath, “As much as I like watching reality tv I think the plaths would be too exhausting with no positives to counter that.”

Some Fans Think The Show Has Run Its Course

While many fans are eager to know what is happening in the Plath family, other Welcome To Plathville fans are thinking the show has tapped out.

  • “I wish it would be canceled because te drama is so fake.”
  • “…as is most of TLC’s shows which are ridiculously scripted. TLC (The “Learning” Channel 🙄) needs a new name and acronym: The Exploitation Channel (TEC) or The Duping Channel (TDC).”
  • One Welcome To Plathville fan didn’t make it to the end of Season 5. They say, “I gave up. Couldn’t stand the way the kids are being sucked back into that dysfunctional family system. And dumping on Olivia all the time. I wonder what they will use to excuse their pathology now that Olivia is out of the picture.”

Welcome To Plathville Isn’t Keeping Everyone

Although Welcome To Plathville hasn’t officially said Season 6 is a go, it seems like it is moving forward. But not everyone is there for it.

  • “I am done. The plaths need perma-therapy and I am no longer interested in their weird family dysfunction and their plight as adults to navigate what is also difficult for most of us…the other four letter word…life.”
  • “So far, they have all failed at navigating adulthood.
  • “It was the end of the season. To me, it kind of felt like a finale to the series, which would be fine with me. But there are rumors they’re doing another season.”
  • “I’m sure there will be more seasons, but I have no idea what they will be about. The Plaths were slightly interesting when they were yet another freak-show fundie gang, and quite a bit more interesting when the kids started questioning their upbringing and separating from their parents’ beliefs. But now that all the kids are running home, and the parents have revealed that they were never into the whole thing anyway, what’s the point? Launching more ‘music careers‘?”
