Fans and followers anticipate the return of the series, "Alaskan Bush People" season 8, and the surrounding details concerning the Brown family. Rumors are swirling that the reality television series has resumed filming. There were also assumptions that the series would be canceled due to Ami Brown's health condition.

Contrary to reports, Joshua "Bam Bam" Brown was recently seen in New Orleans with a camera crew. This might mean that Discovery is already filming for the show's season 8 or this could also be a part of the upcoming "Alaskan Bush People" Christmas special.

Bam Bam was with his girlfriend Allison Kagan when they were spotted in Mac-Gryder Gallery in The Big Easy. According to RadarOnline, the gallery's owner Garlyn Gyder spent time with the couple earlier this week. They said that the couple arrived with a large camera crew in tow, but the two were not bothered by it. Instead, they remained authentic and affectionate toward each other.

This is not the only spotting that may hint the return and filming of the "Alaskan Bush People" season 8. The family was also seen in Colorado a few weeks ago. However, it remains uncertain on whether they filmed the episodes for the next season or for their Christmas special. Rain Brown also hinted on her Instagram account that she is working on something which will surprise the fans.

Although many are happy that the family is finally filming episodes for next season, some are worried about Ami's health condition. Rain posted on her Instagram that her mother was getting a second round of chemotherapy. Additionally, reports reveal the chemotherapy did not push through because her body could not handle the treatment. Due to her frail state, fans are wondering if Ami will appear in the forthcoming episodes for "Alaskan Bush People."

Given the small chance of survival, Ami remains steadfast and confident towards life. She did not waver and wants to be an inspiration to other people with terminal illness. Instead of being pessimistic, she looks at everything positively because of her faith in God.
