Don't count out the Duggars just yet. While TLC might have pulled the plug on 19 Kids and Counting earlier this week following news of Josh Duggars' molestation rumors, it doesn't seem like fans are going to have to say goodbye to the Christian family just yet, as there are talks to bring the family back from the TV show graveyard and into a new spinoff series. That's right, the family could be back on air in no time, as a new premise for a series could followed Jim Bob and Michelle Duggars' daughters, Jessa Duggar and Jill Duggar, along with their husbands Ben Seewald and Derick Dillard.

According to E! News, when reports from 2006 emerged saying that Josh Duggar had reportedly molested five girls as a teenager, TLC had no choice but to pull all episodes of the popular series from the schedule. However, now it looks like there might be hope for some of the family members, as it is being reported that the network might already be working on a spinoff show.

People is also confirming that there has been talk of a possible continuation of the series, that will follow Jessa and Ben, and Jill and Derick.

It seems like it would make sense for the network to go in this direction, as Jill and Jessa's wedding brought it really strong ratings for the series.

"The show had begun to focus more and more on the next generation of Duggars, anyway — mainly Jill and Jessa and their marriages and babies," the insider explained. "That's when the show got its highest ratings."
