Matt Roloff Addresses Speculation of 'Little People, Big World' Ending

Matt Roloff

Little People, Big World star Matt Roloff has shed some light on whether his show will continue amid fan speculation that it could be ending after a 25-season run.

In a lengthy statement posted on Facebook, the father of four shared some of the back-and-forth moments his family has had with the production of the show over the years. He explained that he was only able to come forward with his honest thoughts on the popular TLC show at the time of his Friday, April 26 post because a non-disclosure agreement he’d signed 20 years earlier had finally expired.

The reality TV show premiered back in 2006, about three years after the Roloff family initially signed contracts to share their lives with TV audiences. By 2010, Matt said his family already wanted to be “done” with filming due to the “grind” of the process and the disruptions it caused to his kids’ education.

“We thought we had completed our mission of educating the world on what it's like to be a Little Person in an average size world-- Enough TV filming already!!” his post said.

In the years that followed, Matt explained that his family continued to keep the show going through specials, wedding-themed seasons and more.

“This is WHY I THINK there is some hesitation to announce from TLC that the show is over-- Even though the family as a whole is enjoying being away from it all after 19-20 years,” he wrote before acknowledging that some members of his family have already said publicly that they don’t intend to return to the show. “As more and more family members drift away from the show it becomes more difficult to produce the same content.”

He then addressed the question on many Little People, Big World fans’ minds about whether Season 25’s final episode has ended the show “forever.” TLC hadn’t made any announcements about the show’s future as of May 1.

“Nobody really knows at this point-- I feel very content and satisfied with the Run of shows and the journey we shared with you all,” he wrote, adding that they “never know what the future may bring.” His post acknowledged that he was speaking for himself and not for TLC or other parties involved in the show’s creation.
