Three (or more) is never a crowd for these couples.
Seeking Sister Wife has revealed the new and returning polygamous families who are looking for some extra love on season six of the TLC reality series.
Back again this season are Garrick and Dannielle Merrifield, who are opening their hearts once again to new potential sister wife Lorrana. Also returning are trio Nick, April and Jenny Davis, who happily welcome new partner Teresa into their brood.
Three new couples will also make their debut as they search for a third member to join their relationships.
Small town Indiana couple Reise and Jean Williamson, Connecticut husband and wife Tessel and Dani Peralta and Rhode Island-based duo Matt and Anjelica Johnson will all document their quests to open up their hearts and beds to a third lover.
But with more romantic partners comes more drama.
While Garrick notes in the Aug. 13 trailer, “Polygamous is something we really feel God led us to live,” Nick adds of his three wives, “Polygamy is certainly not for the faint of heart.”
Meanwhile, Dani struggles with accepting the fact that husband Yessel wants to open up their marriage.
“I don’t want to feel resentful towards my husband for being intimate with another woman,” Dani shares in the first look, “when that is what we’re setting out to do.”
Plus, there’s definitely trouble in paradise within the crowded Davis household. As Nick’s legal wife April admits in a confessional, “I just want to have Nick to myself. Let’s get that straight.”
This season, all five families will explore “the challenges and rewards of finding a potential new sister wife,” according to TLC’s announcement. “As each couple leans into the power of partnership and possibility, their pursuit of love and family unfolds in unexpected ways.”
See all the drama to come in the trailer above. And keep reading to meet the new and returning couples of season six.
