This season of the TLC show showcased many moments of disagreement between Deon and Karen, an unusual sight for the seemingly perfect couple.
Whether it was fights over the house or disputes about their daughter, Darian’s education, things were far from harmonious. Their differences eventually led to a divorce. This bombshell news has cast a shadow over the future of the show. With already declining ratings and waning popularity, is Doubling Down With The Derricos season 6 even possible? We have the inside scoop.
Doubling Down With The Derricos Is Getting Canceled?
Interestingly, uncertainty about the future of Doubling Down With The Derricos is not new in its history. TLC fans have faced a similar situation before when the show was on the verge of being shelved. In September 2023, Deon warned fans that their family show was getting canceled. He urged fans to participate in a forum to bring back the show for another season. Ultimately, things worked out and season 5 was aired.
However, this time, things are not exactly similar. Deon and Karen got a divorce in June, sparking rumors that the show might end. Fans were convinced that the Doubling Down With The Derricos could be canceled now that the main couple has split. But the show has always focused on their kids, their upbringing and daily lives, not just the couple. So, there is still hope for another season.
Despite this, Doubling Down With The Derricos has low ratings. According to The TVRatingsGuide, season 5 ranked 48th out of the Top 50 cable shows, while similar shows like OutDaughtered ranked 26th. All in all, the show’s future remains uncertain. That’s because TLC might cancel it due to its low ratings. Moreover, TLC hasn’t announced a renewal yet. Karen Derrico would be the most affected by the show’s fate. After all, she is unemployed and receives only $1,166 in child support. Deon, on the other hand, works in real estate.
