"COUNTING ON" RETURNS ON A NEW NIGHT FOR AN EVENTFUL SEASON FEATURING JINGER & JEREMY'S TWO-HOUR WEDDING SPECIAL

--TLC Follows New Adventures of Older Duggar Siblings & Welcomes Another Big Family to the Network --

Big changes are coming for the older Duggar siblings in all-new episodes of COUNTING ON moving to a new night - Mondays at 9/8c beginning January 16.

With less than three months until Jinger and Jeremy's wedding and more than 1,000 guests in attendance, the planning could not be done without Duggar-style teamwork. This exciting season follows the journey from the altar to their honeymoon down under in a special two-hour wedding event. Viewers get an inside look into custom wedding dress shopping, venue preparation and a bachelorette party only the COUNTING ON sisters could plan. But as wedding bells begin to ring, the realization that Jinger is moving far away from home to start her new life with Jeremy leaves the family with bittersweet feelings.

While all eyes are on the wedding, Jessa and Ben prepare to welcome the newest member of the Seewald family to the world. The idea of expanding their little clan is exciting to the young couple, especially after experiencing the joys of raising one-year-old Spurgeon. As Jessa and Ben prepare for this next journey, Jill and Derick reveal a little surprise of their own. To top it all off, Joy has entered into a new courtship with long-time friend, Austin and enjoys the perks of an official relationship, including chaperoned dates and side hugs.

After COUNTING ON, another huge family hits the screen in MEET THE PUTMANS at 10/9c. This special follows three generations of one family all living under the same roof. With Barb and Bill Putman as heads of the family, their four adult children and spouses, and a total of fifteen young grandchildren running around, there's certainly never a dull moment in the Putman house!

COUNTING ON is produced by Figure 8 Films for TLC.

MEET THE PUTMANS is produced by Discovery Studios and MysticArt Pictures for TLC.
