TLC has confirmed that Season 20 of the long-running reality series has already been filmed, but Kody\u2019s leap to a new TV competition has viewers wondering if this marks the end of Sister Wives<\/em>.<\/p>\n On August 8, Kody shared an Instagram<\/a> message with details of his new role on the demanding celebrity competition series. He posted a reel from the upcoming season, with an accompanying caption that read, “This was the most exciting experience of an age! Tune in and watch me and my peers suffer! Wanna see me cry? No\u2026like full-on sobbing!”<\/p>\n This rare social media post surprised many Sister Wives<\/em> fans, who believed Kody was still contractually obligated to TLC and therefore, would be unable to film for another network. This led to online chatter about the show’s future.<\/p>\n On Reddit<\/a>, fans speculated about why Kody would join another reality show if Sister Wives<\/em> was still filming. They shared their theories in a thread about the new series.<\/p>\n Parade Daily\ud83c\udfac <\/strong>SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a> \ud83c\udfac\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n “Sister Wives<\/em> is dead, and he needs money to keep Robyn (Brown)<\/strong> in the style to which she\u2019s accustomed.

He would annoy the crap out of everyone in the house.”<\/p>\n Special Forces Season 4 was filmed in Morocco. Per the season’s description, \u201cAll recruits must learn the art of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable as they are faced with training challenges across the country\u2019s expansive desert terrain, including a supply search in an abandoned village where they must race to extraction, a treacherous rat-run through dark and narrow tunnels, a plane shell dunk drill where pairs of recruits will be submerged underwater and must escape, a death-defying urban ladder crossing between buildings 50 ft above the urban streets, and much more.\u201d<\/p>\n The reality series subjects celebrities to grueling challenges faced by real U.S. Special Forces candidates. Although the series has no formal eliminations, contestants can choose to hand in their armband and exit the competition at any time.<\/p>\n Kody will compete against\u00a0RHONJ<\/a><\/em>\u00a0star\u00a0Teresa Giudice<\/strong>\u00a0and her daughter\u00a0Gia Giudice<\/strong>;\u00a0RHOA<\/em>\u00a0star\u00a0Eva Marcille<\/strong>,\u00a0The Valley<\/em>\u2018s\u00a0Brittany Cartwright<\/strong>, and actor\u00a0Jussie Smollett<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Also competing are\u00a0Eric Decker<\/strong>\u00a0and wife\u00a0Jessie James Decker<\/strong>, podcaster\u00a0Brianna \u201cChickenfry\u201d LaPaglia<\/strong>,\u00a0Mark Estes<\/strong>, Olympian\u00a0Shawn Johnson<\/strong>\u00a0and her husband\u00a0Andrew East<\/strong>, model\u00a0Chanel Iman<\/strong>, actor\u00a0Ravi V.
