FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA: Kody Brown and the Brown family are back with more drama as the hit TLC show 'Sister Wives' is returning for its 18th season. 

However, in this season, Kody's estranged first wife Meri Brown has no intention to pointlessly stick around and might very well leave Flagstaff, Arizona behind.

The newly released trailer for the 18th season catches Kody and his second wife Janelle Brown at each other's throats, followed by a shouting match that ends with Kody storming out of his residence. Taking their cue from Kody's ex, Christine Brown, several of his wives might leave him this season. 

Meanwhile, it appears Kody's fourth and only legal wife Robyn Brown won't be able to fulfill her dream of a packed porch anytime soon.

What is 'Sister Wives' about? 

TLC's 'Sister Wives' has been running successfully for more than a decade now. The Brown family practices plural marriage and polygamy. In light of the recent separations, Kody and his wives share an even tense family dynamic. 

'Sister Wives' navigates the exigencies of a family patriarch, a father of 18, as he tries to juggle multiple wives. 

What is the latest buzz around 'Sister Wives' Season 18?

'Sister Wives' has remained a fan-favorite ever since it started out as a show to portray the inner workings of a polygamous relationship. However, controversy has always lingered around the show's periphery.

The recent splits and divorces within the Brown family are expected to bring out new storylines for the show. As Christine Brown has moved away from the family estate after her divorce from Kody, it is expected that the show will try to keep up with her. 

Additionally, it might be time for Meri Brown to permanently leave Flagstaff as she has made up her mind not to stay just for the sake of staying.
