"THE WILLIS FAMILY" SINGS INTO A NEW SEASON ON TLC

TLC has started production on a new season of THE WILLIS FAMILY. The network ordered eight new episodes that will follow the Tennessee family at home and on the road. The first season averaged 1.4M P2+ viewers*, and showcased Brenda and Toby Willis and their twelve children as they shared their talents around the country. From singing and dancing to acting and painting and everything in between, the family believes in inspiring others through their art. The new season is slated to premiere in early 2016.

In the new season, viewers will get a deeper look into the family's life off the tour bus. From birthday celebrations and kids learning to drive, life at home in Nashville is a welcome change of pace from the rigors of being on the road. Being at home, though, isn't without its hardships. After months of being away, they come home to a shocking surprise, and with homeschooling, scheduling, and extracurricular activities, things around the house are busy to say the least. While the viewers will get a closer look into their lives at home, the family will still be performing at shows of all kind. Follow along as the family attempts to balance their own endeavors with the goals and responsibilities of the band while also planning for an exciting change.
