The Duggar family will return with the TLC reality series "Counting On" renewed for season 7. The announcement came from the original Duggar family blog indicating that the next season will premiere on Feb. 26 and then confirmed by TLC.

The Duggars recently celebrated that news about Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo expecting their first baby this year. The family then shared the good news about their show. "Following the exciting announcement of Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo's pregnancy, the Duggar family has another tidbit of news to reveal. New episodes of Counting On return to TLC Monday, February, 26<sup>th," the Duggars posted.

TLC also confirmed the news by posting Jinger and Jeremy's pregnancy news on their official website and at the same time announcing the new season. TLC wrote, "You'll catch up with Jinger and Jeremy's story when Counting On returns to TLC."

Season 6 of "Counting On" ended on Oct. 23, 2017 with seven episodes in total. The last episode of the most recent season concluded with Joe and Kendra Duggar tying the knot. Joe and Kendra recently announced that they are also expecting their first bundle of joy. The Duggars are expecting three babies this year with Joy-Anna and Austin Forsyth expecting one of their own.

There are still no updates from TLC if season 7 will feature the soon-to-be parents in the first couple of episodes. There are also no information from the cable network on where the series will pick up from. Many fans of the show are also asking for more screen time for the little ones, especially Josh and Anna's fourth baby Mason Garrett. Many fans went crazy when the Duggars posted a picture of Jim Bob spending some quality time with baby Mason. The Instagram photo of the two is captioned with, "Grandpa enjoying some Mason time! He sure is growing fast."
