Beloved Little Couple stars to return with new show 7 years after sudden cancellation
TLC stopped airing the reality TV show The Little Couple several years ago, much to the disappointment of the family’s fans. The series featured Dr. Jennifer Arnold, her husband, Bill Klein, and their two kids, Will and Zoey and aired from 2009 to 2019. Now, Arnold and Klein are launching something new that fans will not want to miss.
On March 22, Arnold took to social media to make an exciting announcement. “Big news… or maybe just mildly organized chaos,” she teased.
Arnold continued, “After years of talking @reallybillklein and I are finally working on a podcast together!”
She teasingly added, “Yes, you heard that right: Bill + Jen + microphones = what could possibly go wrong?”
In addition, Arnold explained, they are working with Victoria Levy, who was on the team they had with TLC and The Little Couple. Arnold teased that Levy “spent many years behind the camera with us and clearly knows where all the good stories are hiding.”
“We’re calling it… well, you’ll have to wait for that part. But for now, ‘Bill & Jen Make a Podcast,’” the former reality TV star declared. She also told fans to stay tuned, admitting, “This should be interesting.”
The brief video that Arnold included in her post showed her with Klein, recording their podcast. She used the Beatles song “In My Life” to accompany the video, and fans went wild over the news.
The comment section was filled with responses from excited fans. Some admitted they hoped Arnold and Klein would be returning to television, but the upcoming podcast seems like the next best option for many.
“Now if we can only get you back on tv,” a comment read.
“For the first time ever…I’m now looking forward to a podcast,” one fan gushed.
The reaction to Arnold’s news on TikTok was similarly enthusiastic.
“Glimmer of something good to look forward to! Cue: ‘Here Comes the Sun,’ Abbey Road album. Makes me recall when y’all crossed Abbey Rd while on vacation with the family,” a fan wrote.
Another added, “Two truly stand up being!!! Love the both of you and your kind, genuine, gentle and loving souls.”
As TV Insider noted in January, TLC never officially canceled The Little Couple. However, the disappearance of the series came amid legal issues involving Discovery Communications, the parent company of TLC, and the show’s production company, LMNO Cable Group.
The show followed Arnold and Klein through their days as newlyweds, through the adoptions of both of their children, and through Arnold’s cancer journey.
Now, the family lives in Boston, Massachusetts and Arnold works at Boston Children’s Hospital. Will turned 16 in February, and Zoey turned 14 last September.
The family seems to be doing very well, but fans of Arnold’s and Klein’s from The Little Couple days will get to learn more when the podcast debuts. A premiere date was not revealed in Arnold’s announcement, but it seems it will be coming soon.
