7 Little Johnstons in the Middle of Season 12
As 7 Little Johnstons followers keeping up with the current season know, the TLC family has now been on the air for 12 seasons – with Season 12 currently unfolding with weekly episodes.
And this time around, there has been no shortage of 7 Little Johnstons weekly drama to keep viewers in their seats. Particularly with shows like Little People Big World between seasons and The Little Couple off the air since 2019, the new season of 7 Little Johnstons fills a gap in programming that’s much-needed – and viewers are certainly not complaining.

Season 12 Bringing the Drama
A few episodes into the current season of 7 Little Johnstons, there has already been plenty of drama. With Jonah Johnston moving back home, he is back under his parents’ roof – but also their iron rule.
Meanwhile, there have been a lot of mixed reactions from fans surrounding the way Amber and Trent are treating their adult son – including going into his phone and reading his private messages with his girlfriend.
In addition to the 7 Little Johnstons family drama, there are also silly moments sprinkled throughout to keep the mood light-hearted. And spoilers for this week’s episode show Emma Johnston and others preparing “turtle salad”.
On the surface, many fans might think it’s a salad that features turtle meat as the main ingredient. But instead, they prep “turtle salad” for turtles to eat. And Emma says in TLC teasers that the main ingredient is “mealworms”.

7 Little Johnstons Family Celebrates Major Milestone
With this week’s episode, it’s a significant one in the context of the TLC show’s history. It turns out that this week’s episode is the 100th episode of the show – and that’s certainly a major milestone for the entire family.
To mark the occasion, Trent Johnston and Amber Johnston shared a pic holding a plaque to commemorate the huge achievement. And even though Emma Johnston previously hinted that the show could wrap soon, this is certainly a remarkable achievement for all involved.

In addition, congratulations continue to pour in from fans around the world – with many commenting that they can’t wait for the next 100 episodes. If nothing else, even though the future of the franchise may still be in question, this is a major achievement – and one that is well deserved.
