<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/amy-duggar" rel="" target="_blank">Amy Duggar King</a> isn't holding back about her reality TV-famous family.</p>

<p>The niece of <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/duggar-family" rel="" target="_blank">Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar</a> was often featured on the Duggars' TLC reality series, <em>19 Kids and Counting,</em> when she was growing up, cast as the more "rebellious" relative, who didn't adhere to her cousins' strict dress code and other doctrines of modesty and obedience.</p>

<p>Now, Amy and cousin Jill Duggar Dillard are speaking out in a new&nbsp;Prime Video docuseries, <a href="https://edit.etonline.com/jill-duggar-speaks-out-in-duggar-family-secrets-docuseries-the-biggest-revelations-about-her-famous" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets,&nbsp;</em></a>which dives deeper into the Duggars' controversial lifestyle under the teachings of disgraced pastor Bill Gothard and the Institute in Basic Life Principles, or IBLP, a&nbsp;non-denominational&nbsp;Christian&nbsp;organization that espouses homeschooling, female subservience and conservative values.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jim Bob and Michelle spoke out against the series on Thursday,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.duggarfamily.com/2023/06/a-note-from-jim-bob-and-michelle/" rel="" target="_blank">publishing a statement to their website</a>&nbsp;about the four-part<i>&nbsp;</i>investigation<i>.</i></p>

<p>"The recent 'documentary' that talks about our family is sad because in it we see the media and those with ill intentions hurting people we love," the statement shared in part. "Like other families, ours too has experienced the joys and heartbreaks of life, just in a very public format."</p>

<p>The Duggars continue by accusing <em>Shiny Happy People</em> of painting "so much and so many in a derogatory and sensationalized way because sadly that’s the direction of entertainment these days."</p>

<p>"We have always believed that the best chance to repair damaged relationships, or to reconcile differences, is through love in a private setting,"Jim Bob and Michelle's statement continued. "We love every member of our family and will continue to do all we can to have a good relationship with each one."</p>

<p>When ET's Deidre Behar spoke with Amy following the release of the docuseries, she didn't mince her words, describing Jim Bob and Michelle's statement as "gaslighting."</p>

<p>"I felt like, in that moment, they could have been humble, and they could have said, 'We're sorry for the victims,'" she shared. "They could have done that, but instead, they didn't. They didn't."</p>

<p>"That's really, really sad that they're still protecting a pedophile. It's very sad," she added. "It&nbsp;doesn't show any support for the actual victims, and that is what the documentary is all about."</p>

<p>Amy also criticized Jim Bob and Michelle for expressing their desire to reconcile "in a private setting," pointing out the hypocrisy of that language in a family that has seen multiple scandals befall eldest son Josh, who was accused of molesting four of his sisters as a teenager and&nbsp;was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison in May 2022 after being&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/josh-duggar-is-found-guilty-of-two-charges-of-child-pornography-176331" target="_blank">found guilty</a>&nbsp;on two counts of&nbsp;receiving and possessing child pornography.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"That is when things get swept under the rug," Amy said of the statement. "That's when lies happen. That's when you can kind of cover up, say, 'Oh, it's not that bad.'"</p>

<p>While Amy was close with many of her cousins growing up, she's had to set "healthy boundaries" for herself in recent years, which means she's not in contact with many members of the Duggar family.</p>

<p>"I still love my family. I'm not trying to bash them," she insisted. "I miss the girls, I miss the boys. But I have to protect my family. I have to protect my son, I have to protect my peace. Because this is completely evil."</p>

<p>She said she's "so proud" of Jill and her sister, Jinger Vuolo, who have both distanced themselves from the IBLP and spoken out about the trauma they endured growing up.</p>

<p>"I'm so proud of them for the strength that they have to share their stories," she praised. "I will be their cheerleader for life as long as they're getting help and being healthy for their families as well. You've gotta cut out those generational curses."</p>

<p>As for the rest of the Duggar kids, including those who are still living under Jim Bob and Michelle's roof, Amy says, "I just hope their eyes are opened. Maybe the kids will start questioning... and I'm here whenever that happens."</p>

<p>She's also tried to be a support sister for Josh's wife, Anna, but said she's received "radio silence" on multiple attempts to reach out and inquire about her wellbeing as a single mom to seven kids while Josh is in jail.</p>

<p>"I've tried to reach out to her. I don't know if someone's monitoring her phone," Amy recalled. "And it might take a little bit for her to comprehend all this trauma... so I don't know where she is, mentally. I don't know if she's getting help, I don't know if she's getting therapy, but you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped. That is the sad realization that I had to come to."</p>

<p>And she doesn't have any message for Josh, beyond the desire to see him shipped off to a remote location the moment he's released from jail.</p>

<p>"I hope to God they don't embrace [him back]," she said. "At this point I think he deserves to be on an island, just far, far, far, away from any beautiful child that he could hurt. It's crippling to me. I just freeze up, because it's so wrong and so evil."</p>

<p>For now, Amy said she's been "grateful" to do her part to help survivors as a part of<em> Shiny Happy People,</em> calling the series "so eye-opening and impactful."</p>

<p>"I'm not an IBLP survivor," she noted, "but I will support those who are, 100 percent."</p>

<p>It's a bright spot in an otherwise difficult time for the reality-famous family. Friday was also the release date for a new Prime Video docuseries, <a href="https://edit.etonline.com/jill-duggar-speaks-out-in-duggar-family-secrets-docuseries-the-biggest-revelations-about-her-famous" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets,&nbsp;</em></a>which dives deeper into the Duggars' lifestyle following the teachings of disgraced pastor Bill Gothard and the&nbsp;Institute in Basic Life Principles, or IBLP, a&nbsp;non-denominational&nbsp;Christian&nbsp;organization that espouses homeschooling, female subservience and conservative values.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Jed and Katey Duggar Announce Birth of Baby No. 2

The Duggar Family Tree: 'Counting' All the Marriages, Kids and Major Announcements!

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jill-duggar" rel="" target="_blank">Jill Dillard</a>&nbsp;is&nbsp;the latest Duggar daughter to speak out about growing up in her ultra-conservative Christian family.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A new Prime Video docuseries, <em>Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets</em>, shares with viewers how the<em> 19 Kids and Counting</em> family became a reality TV sensation before scandal shook the foundation of their deeply held belief system.</p>

<p>Like her sister,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/jinger-duggars-book-becoming-free-indeed-her-most-candid-quotes-about-family-and-faith-198293" rel="" target="_blank">Jinger Vuolo's, recent book</a>,&nbsp;<em>Shiny Happy People&nbsp;</em>starts with a focus on disgraced pastor Bill Gothard and the&nbsp;Institute in Basic Life Principles, or IBLP, a&nbsp;non-denominational&nbsp;Christian&nbsp;organization that espouses homeschooling, female subservience and conservative values.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“IBLP and the teachings draw in people like my dad, who want this control," Jill notes. "It can foster this cult-like environment. I absolutely think people would be drawn to that.”</p>

<p>Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar raised their 19 children under Gothard's teachings and have continued following the IBLP lifestyle, despite the fact that&nbsp;Gothard resigned from the organization in 2014, following over 30 claims of sexual harassment from former employees. Despite the pastor's denial of any wrongdoing, the allegations further tainted his reputation for many.</p>

<p>The charges against Gothard hit close to home for the Duggars, when eldest son&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/josh-duggar" rel="" target="_blank">Josh</a>&nbsp;was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison in May 2022 after being&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/josh-duggar-is-found-guilty-of-two-charges-of-child-pornography-176331" target="_blank">found guilty</a>&nbsp;on two counts of&nbsp;receiving and possessing child pornography.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The family also&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/news/165743_jill_and_jessa_duggar_defend_josh_molestation_scandal_too_curious" rel="" target="_blank">confirmed in 2015</a>&nbsp;that Josh inappropriately touched&nbsp;<a href="http://www.etonline.com/news/165569_josh_duggar_police_report_details_molestation_allegations/" target="_blank">four of his sisters</a>&nbsp;and one babysitter when he was a teenager. Jill and sister Jessa were two of the victims, and&nbsp;<em>Shiny Happy People</em>&nbsp;explores how the conservative, sheltered lifestyle of the IBLP can create a "breeding ground" for predatory behavior.</p>

<p>"Having a voice about what you think, and how you feel, and being able to voice and say no about things, was stifled and not encouraged in the IBLP setting, in my family," Jill shares in the series.</p>

<p>Read on for some of the biggest revelations about the famous family in <em>Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets.</em></p>

<h3>There was a darker side to Duggar family life that wasn't shown on camera.</h3>

<p>Jim Bob Duggar was a devotee of Gothard since high school, and raised his burgeoning family following the guidelines of the IBLP.</p>

<p>“IBLP and the teachings draw in people like my dad, who want this control," Jill notes. "It can foster this cult-like environment. I absolutely think people would be drawn to that.”</p>

<p>The Duggars became a reality TV spectacle for some of their lifestyle choices -- particularly their ultra-conservative fashions. However, parts of the IBLP curriculum were purposefully kept off camera, including the organization's touting of corporal punishment for children and "blanket training" for babies, which involves placing the child on a blanket and physically punishing them if they try to crawl off.</p>

<p>When asked if she ever saw her cousins being punished or hit with rods, cousin Amy Duggar King tears up.</p>

<p>"They called it encouragement," she recalled. "They literally said, 'You need to come into the room, and we need to give you some encouragement.' But it was in like, the sweetest tone ever. 'Do you need some encouragement? I think you need encouragement.'"</p>

<hr />
<h3>Jim Bob Duggar controlled his children through the reality show -- and it continued when they became adults.</h3>

<p><em>Shiny Happy People</em> makes it clear that, in true IBLP fashion, Jim Bob Duggar is the one in control of his family and their finances -- even as his adult children leave the home and start families of their own.</p>

<p>In fact, Jill alleges in the series, the father of 19 kept his kids in the dark about the contracts they were signing for the reality shows. Jill and husband Derick Dillard claim they unknowingly signed their lives away the day before their wedding when Jim Bob presented them with a new contract amid the whirlwind of preparations.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="node" data-ctd-entity-uuid="de8c5025-c5f5-491c-8863-5657c6bd7bc0" data-ctd-shortcode-id="video" data-ctd-view-mode="related_left"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"I just saw the signature page, it was like, on the end of the kitchen table, like, ‘Hey, we just need you guys to sign these.’ Everybody was signing then," Jill recalls. "We were literally running though the kitchen, and it was like, anyone you could grab on the way through… I didn’t know what it was for."</p>

<p>“What we found out later, was that it was a commitment of your life for the next five years, to the show," Derick explains.</p>

<p>Jill darkly notes, "They had their negotiations, they had their business meetings, it just wasn’t with us."</p>

<p>What's worse, the couple shares, is that Jim Bob and Michelle were allegedly signing fraudulent contracts that listed Jill and her siblings as minor dependents, even when they had aged into adulthood.</p>

<p>"I reached out to TLC to ask for all contracts that I had been involved in," she shares. "My parents had signed for a bunch of the kids who were no longer minors, including myself."</p>

<p>Screenshots in the doc show contracts that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar reportedly signed on behalf of their "minor children" as recently as 2012, however, as Jill points out, "I became an adult in 2009."</p>

<p>"As the kids aged into adulthood, they’re still listed as minors," she notes of the contracts, "and nobody fixed that."</p>

<hr />
<h3>Jill didn't want to give birth on camera -- and wasn't paid when she did.</h3>

<p>When it came time for the couple to welcome their first child, son Israel, in April 2015, Jill recalls attempting to tell production that she didn't want the show cameras following her when she gave birth.</p>

<p>"I knew for sure," she recalled. "I was like, 'Nobody’s in my delivery room, nobody. And nobody’s there for the labor, watching me. I don’t want any of that.'"</p>

<p>However, Derick explains, "We basically lost. They’re gonna get what they want."</p>

<p>What TLC wanted was a two-hour special focused on the birth. The couple recorded themselves on handheld cameras in their hospital room as Jill labored for days, "so they still got the footage."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="node" data-ctd-entity-uuid="c3219611-fbdf-4058-a6f2-54e63b5e93b2" data-ctd-shortcode-id="video" data-ctd-view-mode="related"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>The couple claims they were kept in the dark about compensation from the special, learning later -- when they asked TLC for payment to cover their out-of-pocket healthcare expenses --&nbsp; that all money allegedly went through Jim Bob.</p>

<p>"[TLC] said they paid the family," Derick recalls. "'Paid the family' means we don’t get anything, at that point. They said, 'Well, we paid your dad, so take it up with him.'"</p>

<p>"I never received any payout," Jill adds. "No check, no cash, no nothing -- for seven and a half years of my adult life, I was never paid."</p>

<p>Later, after Jill and Derick started asking more questions about being compensated for their work, Jim Bob allegedly announced that he'd decided to give some of the older children a lump sum payout of some of the profits from their reality fame.</p>

<p>"Some of the boys are getting to the point where they want to start businesses and stuff, so I think it’s good timing, and blah, blah, blah…" Jill alleges her father saying. "But, in order to receive that, you had to sign another deal with my dad, and his production company, Mad Family, Inc., that would be like, forever."</p>

<p>"We were automatically, like, we’re done," she adds.</p>

<hr />
<h3>Jill has major regrets about her Megyn Kelly interview.</h3>

<p>Jill and Derick recount how, in 2015, Jim Bob's PR representative, Chad Gallagher, encouraged Jill and Jessa to sit down with then-Fox News personality Megyn Kelly to do damage control surrounding Josh's molestation scandal. In Jill’s words, "to try and get it to the point where, like, TLC would be cool with moving forward with this show [<em>19 Kids and Counting</em>]."</p>

<p>However, despite the fact that both girls insisted at the time that "nobody asked us to do this," Jill makes it clear throughout the series that doing the interview and having to relive those allegations was, and continues to be, incredibly traumatic for her.</p>

<p>"The Megyn Kelly thing, I don’t like to even talk about it," she shares. "Because it’s not something that I’m proud of. If I hadn’t felt obligated to do it for like, one, for the sake of the show, and two, do it for the sake of my parents, I wouldn't have done it."</p>

<p>"In hindsight, I wouldn’t have done the [interview]," she adds. "I felt like I was in a place, again, of like, bearing the burden and the weight of [my family]. Even though you volunteer, you feel obligated to help."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="node" data-ctd-entity-uuid="56eeeddf-e463-4f79-8a64-91258f54b605" data-ctd-shortcode-id="video" data-ctd-view-mode="related"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>In the interview, at the time, Jill made a point to say what she and Jessa endured was “very mild, compared to what happens to some,” insisting that Josh’s victims were asleep and didn’t even realize what had happened to them. However, her cousin, Amy Duggar King, offers a different version of events.</p>

<p>"Jill has strength and tenacity," Amy shares. "She is not one to just keep quiet and silent. And so she’s the one that really did something about Josh, and hit him the night that he tried to do something to her."</p>

<p>This scene is one where Derick speaks up the most vehemently, calling his wife "collateral damage" in her family’s PR strategy.</p>

<p>"The whole Megyn Kelly thing, I would not call it voluntary," he says. "Basically being called on to carry out a suicide mission. You’re gonna destroy yourself, but we need you to take the fall so we can carry the show forward. Because the show cannot fail, and they were gonna do whatever they could to get return on investment. If that meant collateral damage, that meant collateral damage."</p>

<p>Ultimately, TLC canceled <em>19 Kids and Counting</em> anyway. Jill tearfully recalls, "It didn't save everything. It wasn't enough."</p>

<hr />
<h3>Jill didn't want to participate in the&nbsp;<em>Counting On</em> spinoff series, but felt pressured by her family's needs and expectations.</h3>

<p>After Josh's scandal, Derick explains in the series, TLC had to pivot.&nbsp;They couldn’t focus on the younger kids or the Duggars' home life, so the next best plan was to create a spinoff series, <em>Counting On,</em> that focused on the older Duggar girls and their growing families.</p>

<p>Jill recalls wanting to say no, but not knowing how.</p>

<p>"We’re being pressured to come back, she shares. "I didn’t want to, but at the same time, I’ve never said no to my family before.”</p>

<p>“It’s this whole umbrellas-of-authority thing," she continues, referring to an IBLP doctrine that places a man over his wife and family, under only God above him. "That was ingrained in me. I felt like, if I said no, I’m not obeying my parents, and bad things are gonna happen to me.”</p>

<hr />
<h3>Jill was prepared to testify at Josh's child pornography trial.</h3>

<p>Despite how painful it is for her to recall the abuse, Jill said she was prepared to testify at Josh's trial, as prosecutors wanted to use the previous molestation allegations to prove a pattern of behavior.</p>

<p>"Nobody, obviously, wants to testify, but I was prepared to testify against my brother," Jill recalls, however, "I guess they got what they needed from somebody else, and didn’t have to have me testify."</p>

<p>Jill steers clear of speaking too much about Josh, and it's evident that the memories are still loaded with emotion -- more so because of how her trauma played out as scandalous entertainment for the public.</p>

<p>"I kind of don't really wanna talk about all that. Just because… it’s really hard for me," she says when asked about the molestation allegations. "Nobody ever should have known about it, so I don’t like talking about it."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="node" data-ctd-entity-uuid="92f9a7e1-0e15-415d-ab1c-13ce2aa8ecf2" data-ctd-shortcode-id="video" data-ctd-view-mode="related"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<hr />
<h3>Jill remains on the outs with her family.</h3>

<p>"Everything within the family dynamic has shifted, and not for the better," Jill says of where things stand now between her and the rest of the Duggars.</p>

<p>“My dad does control a lot of things within the family," she notes. "Family relationships were already kind of rocky."</p>

<p>"We’re very much on the outside with the family," Derick agrees.</p>

<p>Despite the tension, Amy says she sees "night and day difference" in her cousin since Jill stepped back from IBLP lifestyle.</p>

<p>"If you were in ATI or IBLP, unfortunately, a lot of times you have to go through hell," Jill shares. "Because it’s not until then that you would risk everything to get out of those situations."</p>

<p>"Eventually, you start making your own decisions," she adds, pointing out her newly acquired nose ring. "It’s piece by piece, little by little, to do what you need to, to survive."</p>

<p>A statement at the series' end provides Jim Bob and Michelle's only comment on the series. Through Gallagher, they said that they "love each of their children tremendously and always desire each live their God-designed lives to the fullest."</p>

Jill Duggar Speaks Out in 'Duggar Family Secrets' Docuseries: The Biggest Revelations About Her Famous Family

<p>Hobbs is back in the <a href="https://www.etonline.com/movies/fast-x" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Fast &amp; Furious</em></a> family for good!</p>

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/dwayne-johnson" rel="" target="_blank">Dwayne Johnson</a> took to social media on Thursday to share with fans that his <a href="https://www.etonline.com/vin-diesel-reacts-to-dwayne-johnsons-fast-x-return-exclusive-205009" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Fast X</em> credits cameo</a> wasn't a fluke -- he's coming back in the mix in a new upcoming film.</p>

<p>ET can confirm Universal Pictures is developing an untitled&nbsp;<em>Fast &amp; Furious</em>&nbsp;film starring Johnson as rogue lawman Luke Hobbs. The film will not be a standalone, or related to Johnson's <em>Hobbs &amp; Shaw</em> spinoff with <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jason-statham" rel="" target="_blank">Jason Statham</a>. It will instead be a Hobbs-focused continuation of events in <em>Fast X</em> that will bridge the gap and set up the events of the upcoming <em>Fast X: Part II.</em></p>

<p>"Last summer Vin and I put all the past behind us," Johnson shared in his message, referencing the pair's <a href="https://www.etonline.com/dwayne-johnson-says-he-met-with-vin-diesel-after-fast-furious-feud-i-wouldnt-call-it-peaceful" rel="" target="_blank">years-long public feud</a>. "We’ll lead with brotherhood and resolve - and always take care of the franchise, characters &amp; FANS that we love."</p>

<p>"I've built my career on an 'Audience First' mentality and that will always serve as my North Star," he added.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://twitter.com/TheRock/status/1664332676323483660?s=20">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Following a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/dwayne-johnson-says-he-met-with-vin-diesel-after-fast-furious-feud-i-wouldnt-call-it-peaceful" rel="" target="_blank">social media spat</a>&nbsp;between Diesel and Johnson, Johnson vowed in 2021 that there was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/dwayne-johnson-says-theres-no-chance-hes-returning-to-fast-furious-after-public-vin-diesel-plea" rel="" target="_blank">"no chance"</a>&nbsp;of him returning to star in a&nbsp;<em>Fast &amp; Furious</em>&nbsp;movie. However, the&nbsp;<em>Fast X&nbsp;</em>post-credits scene features Jason Momoa's villain calling Hobbs to tell him he's coming for him next, setting up the big return.</p>

<p>ET spoke with Diesel at the block party for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/charlize-theron" rel="" target="_blank">Charlize Theron's</a>&nbsp;Africa Outreach project in Los Angeles last month, where he reacted to Johnson's cameo.</p>

<p>"We have such a great cast," Diesel shared. "We lead with love. We try to create an environment where people can do their best work."</p>

<p>"That's all actors really want, is to feel as though they're supported to create unique characters. Characters that last forever," he added, "and you see that in this franchise."</p>

<p><em>Fast X </em>is in theaters now.</p>

Dwayne Johnson to Star in New 'Fast & Furious' Movie: 'Vin and I Put All the Past Behind Us'

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/eva-longoria" rel="" target="_blank">Eva Longoria's</a> new film, <em>Flamin' Hot</em>, is a passion project years in the making.</p>

<p>ET spoke with the actress and director at opening night of the Los Angeles Latino Film Festival on Wednesday, where she opened up about her feature directorial debut, which tells the real-life story of&nbsp;Richard Montañez, a former janitor at Frito-Lay who claims to have invented Flamin' Hot Cheetos.</p>

<p>"I'm so proud," she raved. "I'm proud of this story. I'm proud of this cast and crew.... It's a beautiful story. It's inspiring. It's complex. It's feel good. It's full of heart."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We all have a story to tell," she added. "And it doesn't matter if you're a janitor or waiter, a valet, you know? Tell your stories."</p>

<p>Longoria even made the production a family affair, recently sharing a "day in the life" Instagram video which featured her mother, Ella, joining her for a day of sound mixing.</p>

<p>"She still doesn't understand what I do," the actress laughed. "She's like, 'But you're not in it?' And I'm like, 'No, Mom. I directed it.' So she's, like, very confused."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cs3-WV9A-qf/">&nbsp;</div>

<p>As for another important person in her life, son Santiago -- who turns five later this month -- Longoria admitted she's a "sad Mexican mother" due to the fact that he doesn't yet like spicy foods, and therefore, hasn't tried her film's titular snack.</p>

<p>"He's not into spicy yet," she lamented. "I was like, 'We've got to hurry up, you got to catch up to the spiciness!"</p>

<p><em>Flamin' Hot</em> premieres June 9 on Hulu and Disney+.</p>

Tudum 2023: Chris Hemsworth, Gal Gadot, Henry Cavill and More to Appear at Netflix's Worldwide Fan Event

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/ted-lasso" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Ted Lasso</em></a> took its final bow on Wednesday, as the series finale found <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jason-sudeikis" rel="" target="_blank">Jason Sudeikis'</a> titular coach on a plane back home to Kansas, and the rest of its main characters on new journeys of their own.</p>

<p>But is this the end of the road for the AFC Richmond Greyhounds? Sudeikis and the show's cast and creators have long insisted that the show was always planned as a three-season run. But that was before they dominated the Emmys' comedy categories two years in a row and became one of the most beloved streaming series.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/brett-goldstein" target="_blank">Brett Goldstein</a>, who plays Roy Kent&nbsp;on the Apple TV+ soccer comedy in addition to writing on the show, told the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ted-lassos-brett-goldstein-im-a-20-year-overnight-success-t9hvzpq2p?" target="_blank"><em>Sunday Times</em></a>&nbsp;last summer that, as far as the&nbsp;<em>Ted Lasso&nbsp;</em>writers are concerned, the third season would be the show's last.</p>

<p>"We are writing it like that. It was planned as three," Goldstein shared, later joking, "Spoiler alert — everyone dies."</p>

<p>Sudeikis spoke with ET following&nbsp;<em>Ted Lasso</em>'s<em>&nbsp;</em>huge night at the 2021 Emmys -- where the show won seven awards&nbsp;including&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/ted-lasso-wins-outstanding-comedy-series-at-2021-emmy-awards-172384" target="_blank">Outstanding Comedy Series</a>. At the time, he didn't give a committed answer either way, but did reiterate that the show was initially planned for three seasons, adding that creatively, he had yet to consider more.</p>

<p>"I feel like a real coach&nbsp;when I have to tell folks that you can’t look at season 4 when we're in the middle of season 3,"&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/jason-sudeikis-on-ted-lasso-season-3-and-the-possibility-of-season-4-exclusive-174034" target="_blank">Sudeikis explained</a>. "We can’t worry about the championships when we're in the first round of playoffs, you know?"</p>

<p>"We got to take it one game at a time," he continued, noting that there are "many factors" that would contribute to continuing&nbsp;<em>Ted Lasso</em>&nbsp;past season 3. "As cliche as that may sound, there’s actually truth. It’s hard to think about what to do in the distant future when you're trying to deal with what’s right in front of you."</p>

<p>However, Sudeikis made things sound more final this week, in his appearance on Dana Carvey and David Spade's&nbsp;<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jason-sudeikis/id1603639502?i=1000615113388" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Fly on the Wall&nbsp;</em>podcast</a>.</p>

<p>"This story is done," he said. "It sounds like such a political answer, but it's the truth. We only conceived these three [seasons], then this thing became this big ol' thing."</p>

<p>However, that doesn't mean he's not open to other ideas within the <em>Ted Lasso</em> universe.</p>

<p>"Whether it's [a book], whether it's doing podcasts about the episodes to offer those audio commentaries... just to talk through things and the themes," he shared. "It would explain the show in a much more cerebral way than I ever would have been able to explain it to anybody. Yeah, there's opportunities, I think, for spinoffs."</p>

<p>When ET spoke with Sudeikis at the Emmys, he had plenty of spinoff ideas, including one for co-stars and pals&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/ted-lasso-stars-hannah-waddingham-and-juno-temple-talk-season-2-and-playing-soulmates-exclusive" target="_blank">Hannah Waddingham and Juno Temple</a>&nbsp;as a "crime-fighting duo."<br />
<br />
"I think that’s one of the neatest things about the show, at least for me," he shared. "To watch over and over these performances by these amazing actors, this great cast.&nbsp;I really enjoy watching every single one of them and it’s so fun on the writing side just to pair up anybody."</p>

<p>"Literally, take any two of them and kind of like [mix them up], it’s fun to think about," he added.&nbsp;"So, I mean, I would love for the first show to have six different spinoffs."</p>

<p>Ahead of the series finale, series star <a href="https://www.etonline.com/ted-lasso-star-phil-dunster-series-finale-interview-jamie-tartt-exclusive-205514" rel="" target="_blank">Phil Dunster</a> likened the last days on the <em>Ted Lasso</em> set to the last days of school, leaving open the possibility of a return in the future</p>

<p>"This isn't necessarily the end," he continued, offering a hint of hope. "We don't know... It&nbsp;felt like the end of school, where you're like, I'm so grateful that we've all been a part of this thing. I'm also so excited for what happens next."</p>

<p><em>Ted Lasso</em> is streaming now on Apple TV+.</p>

'Ted Lasso': What the Cast and Creators Have Said About a Possible Season 4 or Spinoff Series

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jill-duggar" rel="" target="_blank">Jill Duggar</a> is ready to tell her story, her way.</p>

<p>Just days ahead of the release of a <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jill-duggar-dillard-says-she-didnt-want-to-do-interviews-for-duggar-family-secrets-exclusive-205397" rel="" target="_blank">Prime Video docuseries</a> about her ultra-conservative upbringing, Jill and husband Derick Dillard have announced that they're releasing a tell-all memoir about her famous family and her restrictive childhood following the teachings of&nbsp;disgraced pastor Bill Gothard and the&nbsp;Institute in Basic Life Principles, an organization which espouses a&nbsp;conservative Christian lifestyle, promoting modest dress, female subservience, homeschooling and large families.</p>

<p>Titled <em>Counting the Cost, </em>Jill's book promises the couple are "done with the secrets" surrounding the Duggar family, and are ready to share their story thanks to "time, tears, therapy and blessings from God." Read the full description of the memoir below:</p>

<p><em>For the first time, discover the unedited truth about the Duggars, the traditional Christian family that captivated the nation on&nbsp;TLC’s hit show&nbsp;</em>19 Kids and Counting<em>. Jill Duggar and her husband Derick are finally ready to share their story, revealing the secrets, manipulation, and intimidation behind the show that remained hidden from their fans.</em></p>

<p>The book will make Jill the second of her sisters to release a memoir about their unique childhood. In January, Jinger Duggar published&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Free-Indeed-Story-Disentangling/dp/1400335817" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Becoming Free Indeed: My Story of Disentangling Faith from Fear</em></a>, though she made it clear from the outset that the book was not meant to be a tell-all about her reality TV-famous family, but rather an exploration of how she set about "disentangling" herself from her upbringing under the teachings of Gothard.</p>

<p>Gothard resigned from the IBLP in 2014, following over 30 claims of sexual harassment from former employees. Despite the pastor's denial of any wrongdoing, the revelation further tainted his reputation for Jinger as she grew away from the teachings of the organization and started to forge her own spiritual path.</p>

<p>"When you grow up in a tight-knit community where everyone believes the same things about everything—not just&nbsp;who God is, but also how men and women are supposed to dress and speak—it’s hard to even consider the possibility that what you were taught was wrong," Jinger writes in one chapter, adding that her childhood under the teachings of the IBLP produced "exhaustion and fear in my life."</p>

<p><em>Counting the Cost</em> will be released on Jan. 16, 2024.</p>
