7 Little Johnstons
From Wednesday 3 March at 20:00
In some ways, the Johnstons are an average American family of seven in rural Georgia trying to achieve the American Dream. This is no ordinary family, however - they are the largest known family of little people in the world, and the action in their lives has never been bigger. This season, there are no little kids left in the Johnston household: Liz and Anna are in college, Alex and Emma are starting high school and Jonah has his first serious girlfriend. Amber is taking this opportunity to start teaching again, but it's not without stress, as the coronavirus has school plans up in the air for everyone. This being the Johnstons, they know how to have fun, even in quarantine - whether it's video challenges or pole dancing classes! As they navigate an increasingly turbulent world, the family continue to face life's ups and downs in the best way possible.
