Is '1000-lb Sisters' returning for Season 5?
Season 4 of the long-running TLC show saw Tammy not only meet her new love interest but marry him after initially sparking the connection at the Ohio-based weight-loss facility. Though Tammy was originally set to leave the rehab facility, her release was delayed due to a serious trachea infection and her stay was extended. It was during that time she met Caleb, who had been at the facility for nearly a year but had just started to come out of his room due to health issues. Caleb reportedly planned to move to Kentucky with Tammy and Season 5 will likely document their new life as newlyweds and his untimely death after their separation. As for Amy, soon after the Season 4 final episode premiered rumors started swirling in February 2023 that Amy and her husband, Michael, were headed toward a split. Amy and Michael's divorce brought multiple shocking accusations and allegations to the court. However, several unanswered questions made the viewers wonder about Season 5. While TLC kept mum about the upcoming season, The US Sun reported that '1000-lb Sisters' Season 5 had started filming.
