There’s no word on whether the family’s matriarch, Kate Gosselin, or her and Jon’s other children, Mady Gosselin, Cara Gosselin, Alexis Gosselin, Aaden Gosselin, Leah Gosselin and Joel Gosselin, will be interviewed for the project.
According to the streamer, the documentary “pieces together the story from the perspectives of the children who grew up on camera, the adults who built a brand around them and the audience that couldn’t look away.”
Jon & Kate Plus 8, renamed Kate Plus 8 following the pair’s 2009 divorce, aired from 2007 to 2017, first premiering on Discovery Health and eventually moving to TLC. The show captured the everyday lives of the former couple and their kids, which includes a set of twins and sextuplets.
Netflix’s announcement comes shortly after Collin sat down with ABC News’ Juju Chang to promote his new memoir, In the Shadow of Eight. In the novel, which hit shelves on Oct. 13, the 22-year-old alleges his mother became abusive after her and Jon’s divorce.
“Simply put, my whole life that I lived was a lie,” Collin said during the Oct. 12 interview. “All the things you see on TV, lies.”
