Season five of Bringing Up Bates is still underway, and UP just announced that the show has been renewed for a sixth season, slated to premiere on June 1st at 9pm ET/8pm CT. The network has ordered 13 all-new episodes. Who's excited??
Check out the press release:
The new season begins with a wedding to kick off UP’s “Summer of Love”
“With 19 kids (plus spouses!) and six grandkids, each day brings new opportunities and challenges chock-full of life’s emotional and humorous moments,” said Timothy Kuryak, senior vice president, unscripted development and production, UP. “This summer will be no different as the ever-growing family continues to pursue new activities, dreams, and relationships. Everything is multiplied in the Bates household!”
In the new season of Bringing Up Bates, it’s a summer of love for the family. From Carlin’s blooming relationship (will it become a courtship?) to Tori’s deepening bond with Bobby (will it end in a proposal?) to someone getting married in the premiere (who will it be?), love is blooming for the Bates. And lately, their simple rural lifestyle in Tennessee is in a flurry of transitions, as this remarkable and ever-expanding family continues to navigate life’s trials and triumphs.
Erin and Chad Paine get pygmy goats, Jeb and Judson take Martial Arts classes, and Jackson earns his learner’s permit. Meanwhile, Bobby graduates from college and contemplates moving from Florida to Tennessee to be closer to Tori, and Nathan pursues his dream to be a pilot instructor.
Led by devoted father Gil and his loving wife Kelly Jo, the Bates do everything in bulk while staying true to their values and rules for the family.

I love the Bates. I enjoy seeing how well the kids are growing.i knew it would be one of the girls again. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could get the Bates where I live. I really miss the show. Maybe one day I will get to watch them again. But I try to keep up with them. Linda Elton
DeleteMy friends and I kept calling out TV cable company until they added UP TV. I would try calling once a month if you have time. Just keep telling them you want to be able to see all the show on UP TV. We kept hitting on how we wanted a TV station that our entire family can watch and enjoy without worrying about inappropriate content for the younger kids,well really all of us. Good Luck
DeleteWho gets married?
DeleteC.L.S
I guess we have to find out!
DeleteCant wait to see who gets married!
C.L.S
It was Kelly Jo's mother.
DeleteI LOVE THIS SHOW!! GOOD WHOLESOME FAMILY
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the show was renewed, just wish it were a longer show a hour instead of 1/2 hour.... But so happy at least that's better than no show. And I bet the wedding will be Tori & Bobby's, who else could it be? So happy for them and I'm so happy for Carlin & Evan, can't wait to see them together more on the show. There are rumors on the internet that someone is pregnant, any truth to that??? K
ReplyDeleteAgree 1 hour
DeleteHopefully Michaela.....
DeleteI love the show Keep it on
DeleteSadly, rumours about pregnancy are not true..
DeleteAlso
It may be Tori depending on if she gets engaged and can get married before the last episode airs, if t is weekly and there is no mid season break, the last episode would air 24th August.. so she'd need to get engaged and married before then! It may just be a way to get everyone's hopes up! And it may in fact be Chads sister, tabithas wedding which is today (01/04/2017)
Agree 1 hour show. Love this family
DeleteThe wedding is Joy Duggar most likely.
DeleteAGREE ...... 1 hour shows PLEASE???
DeleteJune 1 - I have to mark it on the calendar. I do not want to miss the new season!
ReplyDeleteLove you guys!!!! So glad you are coming back for another season!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome season! Can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting!! I hope Carlin gets engaged!
ReplyDeleteSO EXCITED!!! June 1st is my birthday
ReplyDeleteMy Birthday to , excited about the new season of The. Bates family!
DeleteLily Ellie do you know what your age needs to be to marry or be friends with one of the bates boys?
ReplyDeleteWho's getting married?
ReplyDeleteJoy Dugger and the Bates girls are in the wedding
DeleteWouldn't that wedding be on "COUNTING ON"?
DeleteLove watching your family, brings joy to my life to see how precious your family is & watching everyone grow in their own way.
ReplyDelete"Wishing you All the best, God Bless you Bates Family" ����❤
Thrilled! I love them so much!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!
ReplyDeleteIam guessing Tori and Bobby get Married!!!:O)
Abundant Blessing to you all!!!!!:O)
From IOWA!
Awesome! I wonder if it will be the obvious (Tori and Bobby) or a complete surprise from someone who never even publically announced a courtship. Or maybe it's just clever wording and their teasing us, and it's just a family friend or something. Hmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteAh, I bet you're right. It's probably not even one of the Bateses.
DeleteThats what I was thinking :-) Maybe Joy...but she has TLC filming that? Can't wait to see who it is!
DeleteMaggie, I know that is interesting! It could be a wedding that none of us fans were even prepared for,a whole new surprise altogether! Maybe Lawson or Nathan who knows! It could also be the obvious Bobby and Tori, or just a family friend,like you said. They are "Baiting" us to stay tuned! lol
DeleteI wonder if it will be Tabitha Paine's wedding?
DeleteI think it is Tabitha Paine's wedding.
DeleteAnon 11:29 - Are they "baiting" us or "Bateing" is?! lol!
DeleteIt's probably Tabitha Paine.
DeleteIt's Chad's sister that is getting married.
DeleteI bet it's someone else's wedding, like Jinger Duggar, that they are attending.
ReplyDeleteOr Tabitha Paine - Chads sister. It won't be Bobby & Tori as it states above Bobby is contemplating moving to Tennesse. If they were marrying both of them would be deciding where to live.
DeleteMaybe a vow renewal or Joy Duggar's wedding. Erin's wedding was featured on 19 kids and counting if I remember right.
ReplyDeleteTori needs to mature a lot before considering marriage
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteI wonder if Gil and Kelly will renew their vows? ❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought that Tori and Bobby must be the ones getting married. But then I realized that I don't think it could be them. Firstly, even if Tori and Bobby ARE engaged(and maybe have been for a while), IN REAL TIME, if the premiere is a wedding, then that means we wouldn't even get to see their proposal and engagement. Or then UP would have to backtrack and show all of that AFTER we've seen their wedding. I'm guessing that wouldn't happen. Secondly, in the description it clearly says that in the upcoming season we'll see Tori and Bobby's relationship deepen into a possible engagement, annddd THAT would have to lead up to their wedding, so we probably wouldn't see the wedding BEFORE the rest of the season. Third, it says that in the upcoming season Bobby considers moving to be closer to Tori(he wouldn't be doing that IF they were already married. Tori would probably be moving to wherever he already lives in that case). Fourth, it also says that Bobby is graduating in the upcoming season, so I take that to mean that he's graduating in May. And for the wedding to already be on the air by June 1st, the wedding will have had to be filmed before May. And I doubt Bobby and Tori would be planning a wedding while he tries to finish up college, and I REALLY doubt they would be getting married right before he graduates. Also, I'm not sure exactly about Tori but I think either she's graduating too or will be graduating at the end of 2017. And I think it was mentioned before that they were holding off getting married because they were still in school, so I don't think they'd get married this soon. The UP description was pretty vague while talking about the wedding, so I'm guessing that its just a wedding that the Bates' are attending(like when Kelly's sister was married). :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a thorough analysis! I think you're right. And I believe Tori will graduate in 2018!
DeleteI was thinking about what was said and I don't think it's Tori and Bobby or Carlin and Evan, it said that Nathan has a surprise and after the breakup of he and his last relationship ,he may not have wanted a public relationship until he was sure and he's been absent from alot of family functions as of late and also they were teasing about a Duggar/Bates marriage as we're the Duggars and the Duggars were also teasing about not ever knowing who would get married next and it was let on that it was Joy but I heard Jan got roses from one of the Bates boys, they said Lawson but what if it was Nathan and both families have been keeping it quiet and Nathan is marrying Jana Duggar???? Anyone else think that's possible??
DeleteIt says Nathan is pursuing his dream to be a Pilot instructor, where do you get surprise from that? That's why he hasn't been in the show. He's been going to school in Mississippi. Jana was seen taking the tag off of some flowers while getting ready for a Valentine's party that her family had!
DeleteAre they going to Jinger's wedding?
ReplyDeleteThat was my thought
DeleteThey DID attend Jinger's wedding - I could see several Bates seated - top section near the doorway which Jinger walked down.
DeleteAlso saw Ashley (Nathan's former girl ).
Erin played piano, but was not highlighted.
I saw Nathan seated on the bottom floor riggt near the middle isle. Maybe he and Jana are going to end up together a d coild be the reason he was seated in an area he could be seen and would jump out and walk Jana down the isle like Josh and Anna and Ben and Jessa did at the end of the ceremonies. Who kmoes do you think the Bates AND Duggarssir and read all our crazy ideas we habe of them courting and getting married? I hope Jana is the next court and get married? I hope that its Jana and Lawson or Nathan someone needs to marry that that beautiful girl? The media thought it.was Laeson and Jinjer and biy.were they wrong on that pair nkw that shes married to Jeremy. Then it was Lawson and JoyAnna and the media was wrong about that pair also so, maybe it will be 3rd time is the charm and Jana and Lawson get married. I just want to see one Duggar and Bates couple gets married and lices happily ever after and I think Jana deserves to be that Duggar bride and Bates groom that life happily ever after!! Come on L&J appease the masses and each other and fall in love forever! Jer 29:11 Would fit y'all perfectly!!! God Bless, Much love!!!!
DeleteAre you guys going to update the Bates family header like you did for the Duggar's?
ReplyDeleteSomeone getting married in the first episode is probably Jinger's wedding which they attended!
ReplyDeleteThey can't show Jinger's wedding because it's on a competing TV station.
DeleteJingers wedding was in Nov. The last episode of Keeping up with Bates was from over Christmas break so they're already past that. Might be Joys wedding but even that seems off for the timeline (plus Duggars are pretty stingy about that kind of stuff, highly doubt they'd let UP film it).
DeleteMaybe Tabitha Paine' wedding in Jan or Feb - Chad' sister?
DeleteCould be Kelly & Gil' wedding anniversary - isn't that in Jan?
I think it will be Lawson and Emily Ann
ReplyDeleteEmily Ann has a boyfriend or is married already
DeleteWas told she had a boyfriend.
DeleteSorry...but Emily Ann has a boyfriend!
DeleteStalk her Insta.
Love this show!! Even have my husband Watching when he won't watch the Duggars!!
ReplyDeleteWait...6 grandkids!? I only counted 5. What did I miss? :D
ReplyDeleteAlyssa's new baby. She has 2 girls, and Erin and Zach each have 2 kids.
DeleteKaci Lynn & Bradley(Zach and Whitney)
DeleteAlly & Lexi Mae(Alyssa and John)
Carson & Brooklyn(Erin & Chad)
No, there's 6. Zach has 2, Erin has to and Alyssa has 2.
DeleteAlyssa and John: Allie and Lexi
DeleteErin and Chad: Carson and Brooklyn
Zach and Whitney: Bradley and Kaci
Zach and Whitney have 2, Erin and Chad have 2 and Alyssa and John have 2.
DeleteErin has two kids, Carson and Brooklyn. Alyssa has two kids, Allie and Lexie. Zach has two kids Bradley and Kaci.
DeleteZach and Whitney have 2, Erin and Chad have 2, and Alyssa and John have 2
DeleteAlyssa, Erin, and Zach all have 2 each.
DeleteBradley, Kaci Lynn, Carson, Brooklyn, Allie Jane, Lexi Mae.
DeleteErin's and Chad have 2, Zach and Whitney have 2, and Alyssa gave birth to her second child in January
DeleteZach and Whitney have Bradley and kaci. Chad and Erin have carson and Brooklyn. John and Alyssa have allie and lexi
DeleteAlyssa's second child isn't pictured on the header yet.
DeleteI heard Lawson is in a courtship with Jana Dugger. Is it true. They make a beautiful couple.
ReplyDeleteI am guessing Kelly and gil get married again. No one is engaged unless they are keeping a big sercet
ReplyDeleteI am guessing the same thing.
DeleteTabitha Paine's wedding?
DeleteAny Bates & Dugger courtships ?
ReplyDeletewe are so grateful to uptv for renewing this but i think we've all become a little spoiled. i know you are busy, but do you think you can arrange a 'write in' (like we did to tlc for the duggars), to have the show extended from a half hour to an hour? i mean come on, this is one of the best shows on tv & we all could use a bigger dose of goodness in this harsh world!
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY AGREE...... PLEASE extend our BATES show to 1 hour episodes, they are not on enough or long enough and the shows are rushed for just a half hour ??
DeleteI love your show, and your family... Keep up God's work....
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely not a Bates kid getting married. This is just a tease. I'm sure they're just going to someone else's wedding.
ReplyDeleteI also wish this show was longer. What can we do to get it a full hour??
ReplyDeleteIs there something that we can do to persuade this channel for hour long shows, the other channel run their shows for an hour long and would love to see this channel to be the same???
DeleteI wish it was more than a half hour too! Wonderful and wholesome family.
ReplyDeleteLet's all remember, one of the in-law's siblings (Chad's family or Brandon's family or John's family) could be getting married/Or a cousin. . . I doubt it is one of the Bates children.
ReplyDeleteI know they attended Jinger's wedding, but I do not think they will "cross mingle" the two shows. . . they did not even zoom in on Erin playing piano, but they zoomed in on the two ladies playing violins & the singer. ???? just something to be curious about.
I know Bobby personally. We both went to the same college (I graduated last year). He's a great guy, and I'm really happy for him and Tori!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it could be any of the Duggars when they were talking about a wedding. The Duggars are on a different network and I'm sure it's in the contract that their weddings can't be on any other network...
ReplyDeleteWhere can I watch the show online, for free?
ReplyDeleteIt appears you can watch the show on uptv.com. It looks like past episodes from the current season. I don't know if viewers outside the U.S. will be able to view the show or not.
DeleteWe don't have cable in our home so I'm glad I can watch them online when the episodes are available.
Hope this helps.
You can't, trust me I've tried, I have not watch 4/5 season, and that is terrible, because I don't understand why UP TV, is being so mingy. We need good family show on TV/INTERNET, because trust me one can watch terrible things online, for free, anytime, but a great show like that are soooo hard find, SO UPS, PLEASE LOOSEN YOUR GRIP, AND LET SOMETHING POSITIVE BE SHOWED!!! I just hate to use my credit card online, like most people, and so UPS let the show show!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!
DeleteHey, thanks, but not for Canadian!!!! I can funny enough, watch but to season 3, nothing after that, which is to bad, I LOVE THAT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteI am so excited the Bates family will be back!! I just love their show and they appear a little less formal than the Duggars. Kelly and Gil laugh a lot more and don't seem to be a strict and rigid.
ReplyDeleteI think a 30 minute show is good. If expanded to one hour, it would just drag on and waste time with more and more recaps of what we just saw before the commercials. Keeping it to a half hour moves the content along. JMHO
ReplyDeleteGuys!
ReplyDeleteI doubt it will show any footage of Jinger or Joys wedding as that will be copywrite to TLC and their show Counting on.
It'll be Tabitha Paine (her wedding 01/04/2017) or another person who is not a Duggar
@Lily and Ellie, is there any way to set up a petition to have the show run for an hour? I have requested it numerous times and I get the standard, what would we do with our other shows? They are all reruns that have been seen like 15 years ago. Besides they play 2 hours of Bates shows, just prior weeks. Please help us all out
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY AGREE, if we can do anything, I would love to help!!!
DeleteIs it Lawson and Emily Ann who are getting married? Lawson lights up like a fire fly when he (or anyone else) speaks her name. Looks like his arm is around her in the photo.
ReplyDeletein the last episode tori said she and bobby were thinking about getting married in june .... or sometime in summer or fall. it might be tori and bobby
ReplyDeleteThe wedding is probably Jinger Duggar's
