As of this writing, TLC has not officially announced that "sMothered" will be returning for a fourth season, but there's hope for those who crave more mama-daughter drama. We know that the show's producers were looking for new kinswomen with a special connection to appear on the show, thanks to a listing on the Backstage website (via ShowBiz Cheat Sheet). "Are you closer with your mom/daughter than friends or family members and sometimes even spouses and significant others? If Yes, we want to hear from you!" reads the ad, which expired in July. It also describes appearing on the show as "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put you and your mom/daughter's incredible bond center stage and have the time of your life!"

Season 3 of "sMothered" premiered on May 31, and the first episode of Season 2 aired the same month in 2020. If the spacing between seasons stays the same, this means that we can expect Season 4 sometime next summer. Of course, it's always possible that the pandemic may cause filming delays if the series is, indeed, renewed. Luckily, "sMothered" focuses on pretty close-knit groups of people, so as long as they only smother each other and take proper safety precautions, production probably won't have to be halted.

While they wait, fans can check out past episodes on streaming platforms like Discovery Plus and Amazon Prime Video, as well as on the TLC website.
