In a statement, the network said:
“TLC has decided not to renew another season of Kate + 8. By the end of this season Kate + 8 will have hit the 150 episode mark (including Jon & Kate + 8), an exceptional milestone. TLC hopes to check in with Kate and the family periodically with specials in the future.”
Kate took to her Twitter Monday to break the news to her followers and fans:
“TLC canceled it. I’m sorry. We’ve had a great run! Six years of whirlwind fun-filled adventures. Thanks to TLC and our many, many supportive and diehard fans! While it is very sad for me and the kids (there were many tears at the breakfast table this morning!), we are we are looking forward with great anticipation to our bright future!”
“As is very typical for me, I am choosing to see the positive in this situation and I am excited to consider the many more invigorating opportunities that may come my way. I poured my entire self into the last six years of Kate + 8 and I can’t wait to have the chance to challenge myself again with future endeavors!”

She went on to add:
“In the meantime, I hope to have more time for motivational speaking, book writing and other fun work opportunities that come my way. And maybe even some dating? We wish our fans well. And remember, this is not ‘goodbye.’ I prefer to say ‘See you around!’”
Jon Gosselin, who was at the center of a public affair scandal with Kate, had his own idea about the show ending, saying that he was “very relieved” to hear the news:
“I hope that this will bring more privacy to my children and that they can get the proper attention they need for any personal issues they might have in the future.”
The last episode of Kate Plus 8 airs on September 12.
