Season overview
In the eleventh season of Sister Wives, the Brown family navigates the complexities of their relocation to Flagstaff, Arizona. The family faces immediate challenges as hostile neighbors force one wife to vacate her rental property. Simultaneously, the financial strain of maintaining multiple residences for Kody Brown, his four wives, and their children creates a precarious situation. To mitigate these mounting costs, Kody proposes the construction of a single, massive home to house the entire family, though this plan is met with skepticism and hesitation from the wives. Further conflict arises as the family attempts to divide their new property, leading to significant disagreements. Beyond these logistical hurdles, the season explores personal dynamics, particularly the ongoing tension between Kody and his first wife, Meri, as they engage in therapy to address their unresolved relationship issues. Despite these difficulties, the family experiences moments of celebration, including the engagement of Meri’s daughter, Mariah, to her girlfriend, Audrey, and the birth of a second child to Janelle’s daughter, Madison. The season documents these varied experiences as the family continues to manage the demands of their polygamist lifestyle in a new environment.
