2 Duggars from 19 Kids and Counting are returning to TLC

Two of the Duggar siblings from TLC's series 19 Kids and Counting will be featured in a new three-part special airing in December, USA Today reports.

The long-running show following the Christian family in Arkansas was canceled in July, about two months after it came out that their eldest son, Josh Duggar, had molested his sisters and other underage girls when he was a teenager. He also reportedly used the dating affairs website Ashley Madison, according to leaked user data. On Tuesday, an adult film actress and model filed a lawsuit alleging Duggar assaulted her during sex, People reports.

The new special, Counting On, will focus on Jill Dillard, 24, and Jessa Seewald, 22. It will chronicle Dillard's move to Central America with her husband and baby to do missionary work, and Seewald's pregnancy with her now-newborn, Spurgeon.
