The announcement of Zach and Tori Roloff’s departure from the TLC show Little People Big World in its 25th season raised speculation among fans.

Many wondered if this strategic move was a stepping stone towards pitching their own spinoff to the network.

In the months leading up to the Season 25 finale, all the attention was on Zach and Tori as they shocked viewers with the news of their departure. Even before making the official announcement, the couple had already distanced themselves from Matt Roloff after the Roloff Farms deal fell through. Matt himself acknowledged that the family drama surrounding the failed deal had been good for ratings, although some fans grew tired of the ongoing rift being milked across multiple seasons.

There were valid reasons for Zach and Tori to step away from the show. Zach was the last of Amy and Matt Roloff’s children still filming for the network, and he had spent a significant portion of his life in front of TLC cameras. It’s understandable that they wanted a break, and the Roloff Farms situation and resulting family strife may have been the final push.

Since leaving the show, Zach and Tori have been focusing on their podcast, Raising Heights, and have had more time for family trips and various projects on their Battle Ground, Washington property. Choosing not to film more Little People Big World scenes has provided them with some benefits.

Many fans of the show believe that Zach and Tori might have another plan in mind. They speculate that the couple is biding their time before eventually pitching a spinoff to TLC. Viewers have often expressed that Zach, Tori, and their children are the future of the franchise, and they would love to see more of Jackson, Lilah, and Josiah growing up.

If Zach and Tori quit the show only to return later with a spinoff pitch, it would serve multiple purposes. Firstly, the time away would allow them to recharge and rest after years of TLC filming. Additionally, having their own spinoff would grant them more creative control and the opportunity to step out of Matt Roloff’s shadow, which Zach has been striving to do with his recent endeavors.

Fans have reacted positively to the potential spinoff idea, expressing their enthusiasm in the comments. Speculations like, “Oh, I see it coming with Tori and Zach, no way can they turn away from being the center of attention with their little cash cows,” and “I would definitely watch it, so I hope so,” have been common. Viewers find the Roloff children adorable and enjoy watching them grow up.

As of now, these are all speculations, as TLC has neither renewed nor canceled Little People Big World. However, considering the show’s future and the Roloff’s next steps, there is plenty to contemplate.
