1000-LB. SISTERS is set to start filming season five, a source has exclusively told the U.S. Sun – and the new episodes will apparently follow Tammy Slaton’s upcoming surgery.

After rumors that season four would be the end of the TLC fan-favorite show following sisters Tammy and Amy’s weight loss journey, a source has claimed upcoming episodes are underway.

Season four cameras wrapped after filming Tammy, 37, at her late husband Caleb Willingham’s funeral.

According to an insider close to the TLC star, the crew is already set to start rolling for season five.

“The season will be about Tammy’s upcoming skin removal surgery,” the source revealed.

After the 1000-Lb. Sisters star had her gastric bypass surgery last year and then shredded even more weight.

Tammy dropped from 717 pounds to close to 340 pounds from Fall 2021 to this past summer – nearly 400 pounds in total.

All of her rapid weight loss has left lots of excess skin and she’s reportedly ready to go under the knife.

The source claims season five will majorly focus on Tammy’s preparations for the surgery.

A timeline has not yet been confirmed.

AMY’S SPOTLIGHT

As for Amy, 35, it is unconfirmed if her latest love interest, Tony Rodgers, will be featured in the show or not.

He reportedly moved in with her, although it’s unclear if he intends to be on the show.

Amy and Tony have been dating for a little over four months – and apparently, Tammy doesn’t approve.

A source talking to The U.S. Sun previously claimed Tammy said on a recent group road trip that Tony and Amy “fought so much that they missed numerous exits and just screamed at each other the whole time.”

“They are still acting like a happy couple,” the insider alleged.

Over the spring, Amy and her ex Michael Halterman, 40, battled it out in divorce and custody court.

The exes share two boys, Gage, two, and Glenn, one.

Michael has been featured in previous seasons of 1000-Lb. Sisters, but the source claims he is now “out of the picture.”

TLC has not yet made an announcement about plans for season five – but Tammy has told her fans via TikTok that the second half of season four is set to release on December 12.

FRESH START?

If season five doesn’t pan out, a source previously told The U.S. Sun that Tammy is considering a shift in her career to modeling.

Tammy is looking to “grow her platform,” and the source said: “Well, I can’t say if there is or is not going to be another season, but Tammy is looking at other opportunities.”

The 1000-Lb. Sisters insider stated: “Tammy wants to represent people in her community who have been through what she has been through.”

Back in February, a source claimed Tammy and her family have been in talks with another production company to start filming a spin-off show.

According to the insider, tensions have been high between the Slaton family and producers, and they’ve been at odds over salaries and the narrative of the show.

REALITY FAKERY

Tammy even slammed TLC producers for “forcing drama” during Caleb’s funeral.

According to the insider, Tammy said: “The filming of the funeral was ‘completely not natural’ and things were put in there to make it seem sad when it really wasn’t that sad.”

The source relayed that Tammy shared: “People were having fun, but [TLC producers] made it depressing.”

Tammy’s friend said the star was concerned the way TLC filmed the funeral would spark rumors she was quitting her diet because of her grief.

The source claimed: “She isn’t emotionally relapsing or going back on her diet – she’s doing great.”
