Seeking Sister Wife is back this fall with an all-new season — and Us Weekly has an exclusive first look at the couples and their rocky relationships.
“Polygamy is something we really feel God led us to live,” returning star Garrick Merrifield tells the cameras in Us’ sneak peek at the new season’s official trailer with his wife, Dannielle Merrifield, by his side.
The couple later reveals that they are trying polygamy again with a Brazilian woman named Lorrana after experiencing two previous heartbreaks. While Dannielle seems to be excited about adding another woman into their lives, she breaks down in the trailer after seeing her husband happy with Lorrana.
“I’m happy for them. It just makes me feel less tied to Garrick. I don’t know why,” Dannielle says while wiping away tears.
Fellow returning family, Nick Davis, April Davis and Jenny Davis, appear to be juggling their own dynamic shift after girlfriend Teresa reveals she wants to be more committed.
“I just want to have Nick to myself, let’s get that straight,” Teresa tells the cameras, after revealing she isn’t OK with not sharing the same last name as the other women.
Nick teases in the trailer, “Polygamy is certainly not for the faint of heart.”
Additionally, there are three new couples who are trying to navigate polygamy on this season of the TLC series. Having been married four years, Reise Williamson and Billie Jean Williamson are excited to welcome another woman into their family — all while raising twins.
While the Williamsons are open to their chosen lifestyle, Matt Johnson and Anjelica Johnson find themselves at a crossroads after their sister wife Shanay, who has been part of their lives for three years, reveals she wants to make their union official.
Yessel Peralta and Dani Peralta, however, appear to be the most out of sync as they start their polygamy journey.
“I don’t want to feel resentful toward my husband for being intimate with another woman when that is what we’re setting out to do,” Dani confesses in the season preview.
During a dinner date with a prospective suitor, the woman catches Dani by surprise by asking point blank, “When can I expect sex with your husband?”
Later in the trailer, Dani tells her husband, “I don’t want another woman to have a child with you.” Yessel, however, isn’t on the same page, saying, “No, this is what I want.”
The all-new season of Seeking Sister Wife will dive into “the emotional highs and lows of navigating polygamous relationships, as each household explores the challenges and rewards of finding a potential new sister wife,” according to a press release.
TLC promises, “As each couple leans into the power of partnership and possibility, their pursuit of love and family unfolds in unexpected ways.”
Seeking Sister Wife premieres on TLC Monday, September 22, at 9 p.m. ET.
