7 LITTLE JOHNSTONS returns for its second season on TLC following the season premiere of LITTLE PEOPLE, BIG WORLD on Tuesday, May 2 at 10/9c. Along with all the fun and hilarious milestone moments in store for viewers this season, being the world's largest known family living with Dwarfism comes with its own set of challenges. The Johnston family includes parents Amber and Trent and their children Jonah, 16, Anna, 15, Elizabeth, 14, Emma, 11, Alex, 10, their chocolate lab Jessie and their new 7-month old French bulldog, Louie.

This season, the Johnston family have their fair share of ups and downs giving viewers a glimpse into their daily lives. For a little family, surgeries are not unusual but it's still scary when Alex is diagnosed with central apnea and must get an MRI to see if he needs brain surgery and Amber suffers a medical emergency of her own. Meanwhile, Trent, who is approaching his 40th birthday, is hoping to hit his weight loss goal before the big day. Amber sets out to plan a surprise party for him along with a big gift he doesn't expect. Their oldest daughter Anna isn't allowed to attend prom since she is not yet a senior in high school, but the family bands together to throw her a sweet 16 birthday party.
