(CNN) — A new Amazon Prime docuseries promises an in-depth look at the Duggars, formerly a popular reality family, with their show “19 Kids and Counting.”
The trailer for the “Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets” docuseries is now available and includes a preview of an interview with Jill Duggar, the second daughter of the family, and her husband, Derick Dillard.
“There’s a story that’s going to be told, and I’d rather be the one to tell it,” Duggar says in the trailer.
According to Prime, it is “a limited docuseries that exposes the truth beneath the sane American surface of reality TV’s favorite megafamily, the Duggars, and the radical organization behind them: The Institute in Basic Life Principles.”
“As details of the family and their scandals are unraveled, we realize they are part of a much larger, insidious threat that is already underway, with democracy itself at risk,” according to the description.
The Duggars previously starred in the popular TLC series about their megafamily. (TLC is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN’s parent company.)
The show was canceled in 2015 when allegations surfaced that the eldest son, Josh Duggar, had abused family members as a teenager.
Although no charges were ever filed in connection with those allegations, in 2021 Duggar was found guilty of receiving child pornography and possession of child pornography and was subsequently sentenced to more than 12 years in prison.
His family also starred, without him, in the series “Counting On”, which was canceled in 2021.
The family was known for adhering to strict teachings, such as no use of contraception, family-supervised courtship before marriage, and modest dress for women and girls.
Daughter Jinger Duggar Vuolo recently published her memoir, “Becoming Free Indeed: My Story of Disentangling Faith from Fear.”
CNN has contacted The Institute in Basic Life Principles and the Duggar family for comment.
“Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets” premieres June 2 on Prime Video.
