Rumours are circulating that TLC network is planning to put "19 Kids and Counting" back on the air this year, and some Duggar family members have reportedly been seen having camera crews trailing them again.

But is there any truth to the rumours? According to the Hollywood Gossip, the crew were trailing "Cinderella Duggar" Jana, who was busy babysitting her other siblings while her twin brother John David went to Ridout Lumber to purchase wood for a tree house.

However, the Inquisitr noted that televiewers are not keen on seeing Josh appear on television again. The TLC network has tiptoed on Josh's sexual abuse and cheating scandals, but since cancelling the Duggar family show, the network still continued to work with the Duggar family by creating documentaries which starred sisters Jill Dillard and Jessa Seewald.

The first documentary was called "Breaking the Silence," which showed the two girls talking about their child molestation ordeal. The second documentary was called "Jill and Jessa: Counting On," which featured the two girls sharing their motherhood experiences, new ministry, and Josh's infidelity.

TLC general manager Nancy Daniels told Variety that both documentaries "did very well" and only proved just how much the audiences care about the Duggar family.

Daniels refused to confirm then if "19 Kids and Counting" has a shot on the small screen once again. She said, "We're still talking and considering it, but we have not made a decision yet."

"Every decision we've made has been done very thoughtfully and very carefully about what is in the best interests of the people involved and the network," Daniels said. "Our first priority is making sure that there's a health and well-being of our families first and foremost. We feature stories of different families with real people and real things happen."
