TLC
is
acknowledging
a
devastating
loss.

As
the
Brown
family
returned
for
the
season
19
premiere of Sister
Wives on
Sept.
15,
the
network
gave
viewers
some
context,
using
opening
title
cards
to
share the
timeline
of
filming
in
relation
to
the
death
of Kody
Brown and Janelle
Brown’s
son Garrison
Brown.

“This
season
of

Sister
Wives
began
filming
in
late
2022,”
the
note
explained.
“On
March
5,
2024,
Kody
and
Janelle’s
son
Garrison
passed
away.
He
was
greatly
loved
and
will
be
deeply
missed.”

The
rest
of
the
episode
detailed
events
that
happened
long
before
Garrison’s
death. But
a
press
release
for
the
new
season
implied
that
they
would
be
addressing
the
loss.

“Through
the
heartbreaking
pain,”
the
network
wrote
in
the
release
detailing
what’s
to
come
on
the
new
season,
“the
family
navigates
this
incredible
tragedy
and
comes
together
to
mourn
and
celebrate
his
life.” 

Garrison—one
of
six
children
who
Kody
and
Janelle
share—died
by suicide from
a
self-inflicted
gunshot
wound this
past
March and
was
found
by
his
younger
brother Gabriel
Brown.
