‘Doubling Down With the Derricos’: Inside the Derricos’ Troubling Financial History </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-2_18″>Season 5 of <em>Doubling Down With the Derricos </em>premieres Tuesday, May 14 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on TLC. </p>
<p id=”par-3_28″>“Yes we are baaaaccckkkk!!! Super excited for yall to see what we have been up too!!” mom Karen Derrico wrote on <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/C5gsfMGOpZG/?hl=en” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a> when the new season was announced.</p>
<p id=”par-4_32″>Deon – who previously warned that his family’s reality show was <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/doubling-down-with-the-derricos-canceled-tlc-deon-derrico-warns.html/”>at risk of being canceled</a> – urged fans to tune in for an “amazing season of love, caring, arguing, [and] learning.” </p>
<p id=”par-5_35″>Viewers will also see more of his mom <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/doubling-down-with-the-derricos-gg-2023.html/”>Marian “GG” Derrico’s battle with cancer</a>, he wrote on Instagram, warning that they should be prepared for the “emotional rollercoaster of challenges that GG has dealt with.” </p>
<p id=”par-6_9″>GG also teased the new season on social media. </p>
<p id=”par-7_31″>“We are so excited to be back on and sharing all the stories right here on social media I look forward to hearing you guys feed back!!” she wrote on <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/CsfuYnSOS27/?hl=en” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a>. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-the-derricos-still-haven-t-moved-into-a-new-house”>The Derricos still haven’t moved into a new house </h2>
<p id=”par-8_35″>Karen and Deon share 14 children, including multiple sets of multiples. Their <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/doubling-down-with-the-derricos-derrico-family-didnt-move-south-carolina.html/”>home in Las Vegas</a> has been bursting at the seams for years, and things are only getting worse as the kids get older. </p>
<p id=”par-9_15″>“I am so over this house,” she says in a season 5 teaser (via <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/C5gsfMGOpZG/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a>). </p>
<p id=”par-10_33″>But relief may be in sight. The Derricos have finally found a larger home, and Deon is working on getting the place move-in ready. But the delays have Karen at her breaking point. </p>
<p id=”par-11_14″>“The walls are closing in,” a frustrated Karen tells Deon. “I’m tired of waiting.”</p>
<p id=”par-12_22″>Even worse, Deon is apparently hiding a big secret from Karen that could change everything, according to the season synopsis from TLC. </p>
<p id=”par-13_64″>As they navigate housing challenges, the Derricos are also adapting to a new phase of parenthood. Their eldest daughter Darian is getting ready for college. In preparation, she heads to New York for a performing arts program at NYU. But is she following her dream or her mom’s? Meanwhile, five of Derricos’ eight boys have hit puberty, and they’ve gone “girl crazy,” Deon says. </p>
<p id=”par-14_33″>Finally, there’s the situation with GG. In the trailer, she announces that she’s decided to stop chemotherapy for her cancer. It’s a decision that doesn’t sit well with Deon, to say the least. </p>
<p id=”par-15_15″>“I do not want her to stop,” he says. “I think it’s a horrible idea.”</p>
<p id=”par-16_48″>Unfortunately, GG isn’t the only one with health issues. During a trip to the mountains, Karen faces a medical emergency that forces the Derricos to remember what’s truly important in life. How will the Derricos cope with the latest crisis? Find out when the show returns in May. </p>
