Over the past couple of days, the family has been busy filming promos for the new season of Bringing Up Bates. They have also started to film a new intro of the show!

The Bates family have had a very busy weekend and we can't wait to share it with you all later this week! (Hint: Josie's wedding, Tori's baby shower, and Katie's birthday)

At the end of September, we announced that Bringing Up Bates will return on January 3, 2019 after a little over three-month break. As many of you know that season 7 we had a lot of excitement and season 8 will have more.

"We are excited to kick off 2019 with the return of our beloved series 'Bringing Up Bates,'" said Timothy Kuryak, UPtv senior vice president of production and development, in a press release. “In the new season, the Bates family continues to grow through new relationships, weddings, and babies."

The new season will feature the wedding of Josie and Kelton, Zach and Whitney’s vow renewal and Evan and Carlin’s engagement. We will get to see Tori and Bobby prepare for their first child. We will be getting updates on fertility struggles.

As you can see we will have plenty to come in the new season.

Press release for Season 6

Earlier today, we announced season six starts on June 1st with 13 brand new episodes.

Up TV has released this press release!
“With 19 kids (plus spouses!) and six grandkids, each day brings new opportunities and challenges chock-full of life’s emotional and humorous moments,” said Timothy Kuryak, svp unscripted development and production, UP. “This summer will be no different as the ever-growing family continues to pursue new activities, dreams and relationships. Everything is multiplied in the Bates household!”

In the new season of Bringing Up Bates, it’s a summer of love for the family. From Carlin’s blooming relationship (will it become a courtship?) to Tori’s deepening bond with Bobby (will it end in a proposal?) to someone getting married in the premiere (who will it be?), love is blooming for the Bates. And lately, their simple rural lifestyle in Tennessee is in a flurry of transitions as this remarkable and ever-expanding family continues to navigate life’s trials and triumphs. Erin and Chad get pygmy goats, Jeb and Jud take Martial Arts classes and Jackson gets his learner’s permit. Meanwhile, Bobby graduates from college and contemplates moving from Florida to Tennessee to be closer to Tori, and Nathan pursues his dream to be a pilot instructor.

Recap: Summer lovin', Guitar Strummin, and a surprise comin'

As the family is heading to North Carolina to pick up the middle boys (Jackson, Warden and Isaiah) from camp. Tori gets a call from Bobby wondering where the family is.

Tori gives a update on her relationship with Bobby. She says "We've been together for about a year now, like officially, unofficially, like technically but not technically. We're together but we're not together. It's confusing. We're gonna get married."

Gil wants them to wait before they get official but are headed in that direction. Since Bobby lives in Florida and goes to school there while Tori lives in Tennessee and goes to school near home, it makes their time a little limited.

Kelly wants to make sure that her daughter is happy and she is. She is anxious to see where this will lead in the coming months.

Bobby offers to give the family a crash course of the camp and the first stop is the swing. The kids keep quiet knowing that their mother won't do it if she know what really happens on it. Kelly figures out about it when it's too late. Kelly ends up screaming the whole time.

The next time, that kids headed to the lake where they have jumping platforms, a giant blob and zip lines. Gil pushes Bobby into the lake and then Carlin does it to her father!

Lawson stays back to work on his concert tour for his new CD. He heads to the studio with Kelly and Josie. Lawson knows that his mom is his biggest supporter and he is so thankful for her. He has a duet with Emily Ann Roberts. Kelly is a very proud mom.

  The boys and Carlin want to help Trace practice for his Dixie Stampede audition. He is going to have learn how to do showmanship and daning. The family normally doesn't dance so Kelly thinks that Trace might needs to some dancing lessons.

Over at the Little Bates home, Zach and Whitney are enjoying some time together with their kidds on his day off. Zach works 12 hours and it makes it hard to spend time with his family. They head over to the big house to spend a day with everyone expect the Websters and Keilens.

Alyssa had arranged her family's longtime friend, Mrs. Dingus, to surprise the family with some news. She brings in flowers and gifts. The family figures that someone is pregnant. They all ask Erin, Whitney and Kelly if they are expecting. They soon find out that they are about to have a Webster niece and the baby's name is Alexi Mae but will go by Lexi Mae. The family is surprised since Alyssa told her sister, Michael, that she is going to wait until Allie is older. They are surprise to see that John and Alyssa are there.

Allie is not used to the loud noices so she gets upset but calms down really fast. The family sits down and eats dinner.

Gil says    "I don't think there's any...emotional word to capture what you feel like when you find out you're going to have a new granddaughter,"
