The latest installment of 'Seeking Sister Wife' will feature five families, three of whom are new to the franchise.
Garrick and Dannielle Merrifield
Garrick and Dannielle Merrifield made their debut appearance on the show last season. Garrick thought that God was prompting him to pursue a poly-marriage lifestyle after a 10-year monogamous relationship. The couple, who had two boys, met Brazilian native Roberta online and chose to divorce to continue the relationship, despite Dannielle's parents' fears. In the new season, they try to include Roberta into their family from afar, even as they open up the relationship to yet another person back home in Colorado. New footage from this season of 'Seeking Sister Wife' reveals, however, that Roberta's jealously and untrustworthiness were too much for Dannielle to bear. Garrick and Dannielle's relationship has however grown to include another woman. Danielle and Garrick are joined by their future sister-wife, Lea, in the preview clip, which TLC published on Instagram. Dannielle addressed a Q&A on her Instagram Stories ahead of Season 4's launch and offered some insight into the present state of affairs between herself, Garrick, and Roberta.
Sidian and Tosha Jones
Along with the Merrifield's, Sidian and Tosha Jones have returned to carry on their story. Taking a page from Dannielle and Garrick's book, the couple is long-distance courting their possible Filipino sister-wife Arielle after having searched worldwide for the newest member of their family. Tosha's mother encapsulates the issue of a poly relationship when she questions whether her daughter has placed a limit on the number of women Sidian may bring into the relationship, frankly stating that she is "not a fan" of her daughter's position. Sidian's admission that "Arielle might be kind of out of my league," sets the stage for complications when only he can go to the Philippines to see Arielle in person.
And, despite Arielle's assurance that "I don't get jealous," Sidian begins to contemplate the possibility that bringing this "crazy beautiful" new lady home to the United States may jeopardize his "relationship with Tosha." According to TLC's description of Sidian's journey overseas, it appears like the deal is already done because Sidian and Arielle's friendship develops quickly, leaving Tosha feeling lonely back home.
Nick, April, and Jennifer Davis
Nick, April, and Jennifer Davis will also return for the upcoming season, bringing with them a few fresh twists to the show. April and Jennifer each consider themselves Nick's wives, but the two women are also officially married to each other and have adopted Nick's surname. Season 4 will include the entry of 21-year-old April into the family, which causes teen son Preston to raise an eyebrow. Jennifer's anxieties begin to rise as time passes. "I feel like we would be closer, but I feel like I'm not even a thought," she says to April during one tense confrontation. Of course, Nick does little to relieve Jennifer's concerns, assuring her, "I'll keep you around, but when it comes down to it, I'm protecting April."
Steve and Brenda Foley
Steve and Brenda Foley have chosen to restart their polygamist adventure, this time with April, who is considerably younger. They enjoy traveling, which is convenient given that they seem to operate a travel company. April is their season's love interest, and they are quite thrilled about her. The only catch is that she is twenty-one years old. This surprises them because their kid is a teenager who may be uncomfortable with the idea of having a "mom" near his age.
Marcus, Taryn, and India Epps
With 'Seeking Sister Wife' coming in June, viewers are eager to learn everything they can about the new cast. Backwoods Barbi gives the scoop on the Epps clan. They live in Miami and are social media influencers with a focus on fashion who like hashtagging. BB states she has a "suspicious" feeling about the family. She feels people brag a little too much on social media and exaggerate their accomplishments. They do, however, include a motivating message as well. It looks to her to be a type of veneer. She is curious about the skeletons in the closet, since no one is flawless.
BB also wonders if all the women are actually on board with taking on a new wife. India, on the other hand, admits to enjoying gastronomic food and has recently married Marcus. She was about to enter planning mode when BB saw some Clark family vibes from last season. They had one legal wife and a considerably younger sister wife who believed she was the housemaid/nanny. All she wanted was to live her own life while also spending time with the "king," Jarod. It was a disaster. Fans replied to BB, and while they are suspicious, they are eager for the tea.
Which couples will not return for Season 4 of 'Seeking Sister Wife'?
While there will be new faces this season, some families will not be returning to the TLC show. Ashley and Dimitri Snowden, who were wooing two possible sister spouses last season, have ended their relationship. Ashley announced her divorce to her Instagram followers in July 2021, stating, "I'm single and grateful for life." Following the departure of Snowden, Jarod and Vanessa Clark will not return after attempting to identify a possible sister bride last season.
The Winder family – Colton, Tami, and Sophie — will also be absent, since they just stated that they were not picked up for season 4. "As some of you have noticed, we will not be returning for season 4 of Seeking Sister Wife," the family said on Instagram on March 31, 2022. "It makes sense to us why we weren’t picked back up, as we’ve seen the show is taking a different path. We wish the other families well, and we’re grateful to TLC for the opportunity we had to tell our story, and we’ll continue to tell our story on our social media, faithfully, and honestly.”
