Kate Plus 8 will soon bid its farewell, as TLC decided not to renew another season of the show.

TLC announced in a press release that they’ve decided not to renew another season of Kate Plus 8. They also added that the show will hit its 150th episode mark – including Jon and Kate Plus 8 – by the end of this season. However, TLC hopes to check in with the family periodically, with specials in the future.

After the announcement, Kate Gosselin posted a lengthy message to her fans on Twitter:

“TLC cancelled it. I’m sorry …

We’ve had a great run! Six years of whirlwind funfilled adventures thanks to TLC and our many many supportive &diehard fans!

While it is very sad for me and the kids (there were many tears at the breakfast table this morning!), 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!
