On TLC's Season 11 of '7 Little Johnstons', Trent and Amber will be introducing the newest member to their family on a temporary basis. We're all set to welcome Joose, the exchange student from Finland, into our lives. 

Joose will be living with the Johnstons for three months and viewers will get to see what it's like for the family to be the host on March 15, 2022. Although there's ongoing speculation as to whether Amber and Trent will adopt another child with dwarfism, it doesn't seem likely as of now. Even still, the family is equally elated to share their life with Joose.

'7 Little Johnstons': What is Amber and Trent Johnston's net worth? A look at the family's paycheck per episode

So far, we know that the oldest three kids of the Johnston family (that's Elizabeth, Jonah, and Anna) have graduated high school, moved out, and are currently living thriving adult lives. 

The ones presently at high school are the youngsters, namely, Alex and Emma. Looks like it's going to be fun with a third kid in the house!



 

In the TLC sneak peek promo for the latest season, Amber said, "For the next three months, we have an exchange student living with us. We cannot wait to show him life with the Johnstons." 

On TLC's Instagram account, the clip shows 17-year-old Joose heading home with the Johnstons right after picking him up from the airport. Joose said, "I'm so excited about this. Everything here is new for me. My first reaction when I came here was that, like, cars and trucks are so different. In Finland, cars are a lot smaller. Trucks are rare in Finland."

The promo video also shows the family of seven playing with Joose, fashioning inflatable turkey costumes, and prepping to wrestle in pools mixed with apple and cranberry sauce.

Joose's take? He says, "Maybe Johnston family is crazy ... But it's okay. I like to be, like, also crazy."



 

It sure looks like Joose's temporary stay has spread great cheer amongst the Johnstons. The family is seen having the time of their lives in their backyard and officially kickstarts the 'Johnston backyard games'. How fun!

Season 11 of '7 Little Johnstons' premieres on March 15, 2022, at 9 pm ET, on TLC.
