The upcoming season of Seven Little Johnstons is set to completely change everything we know about the beloved Johnston family. After 14 successful seasons, the family is back and busier than ever, with Season 15 premiering on January 7th. This season promises surprises, milestones, and some truly emotional moments that will leave viewers in awe.
One of the biggest changes is that Liz and Bryce have welcomed a beautiful baby girl named Leighton. They’ve decided to move in with Liz’s parents, Trent and Amber, to start this new chapter in their lives. While navigating sleepless nights as new parents, they’re also adjusting to living with grandparents who have their own parenting styles—a true rollercoaster experience.
However, not everything is perfect. Amid the joy of a new baby, Trent is dealing with some serious health issues. In an intimate moment at the family gym, he shares with his son Jonah that he’s been experiencing vertigo and dizziness. He later reveals that his brain has shrunk drastically and is now the size of an 80- or 81-year-old’s brain. This alarming revelation shakes the family, particularly Jonah, who admits that it’s “unbelievably scary.” How will the family cope with this shocking news while also managing the excitement of new babies and graduations?
Speaking of milestones, Alex and Emma are wrapping up their senior year of high school—can you believe they’re graduating already? Meanwhile, Anna and Amber are also preparing for college graduations. It’s a time of celebrations, but also inevitable tensions as the family faces major life changes.
Living under one roof isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Liz and Bryce are learning the challenges of cohabitating with parents while raising a newborn. Liz admits that living at home is stressful, and Bryce and Amber are having frequent disagreements, adding to the strain. Liz wonders what life would be like if they moved out, but Amber doesn’t think that would solve everything, shaking her head at the idea.
Trent’s health issues are not just a personal battle; they’re affecting the entire family dynamic. With vertigo and premature brain aging, the family is faced with some serious questions about Trent’s future and what role he can continue to play in the family’s day-to-day life. This health crisis is a collective struggle, one that will challenge the family’s unity and resilience.
Meanwhile, Anna’s actions are creating a rift in the family. She’s decided to skip a major family event—Alex and Emma’s graduation—and tensions are running high. Amber admits there’s a lot of strain between Anna and the rest of the family, and Anna feels the pressure, believing that no matter what she does, it will never be enough.
In the midst of all this, there’s the emotional journey of becoming first-time grandparents. Amber and Trent, or “Lolly and Baa,” are overjoyed about baby Leighton, but with Trent’s health issues looming, there’s a bittersweet undertone to their joy. This mix of happiness and uncertainty highlights the emotional complexity of life.
As we approach the premiere on January 7th, this season promises to be one of the most intense yet, filled with emotional moments, tough decisions, and unbreakable family bonds. Get ready for a season that will leave you thinking long after the credits roll. And if you’re as excited as I am, don’t forget to tune in, share your predictions, and join in the conversation about what lies ahead for the Johnstons!
