Fans fall in love with the quirky Brown family over the show's 12 seasons as they watched them get through the daily tasks of living in the unforgiving conditions of the icy state.

There has been discussion for the 13th season. However, it is rumored that the siblings have gone their separate ways as they have moved on and formed their own families.
