The Honey Boo Boo franchise has enjoyed a thoroughly unexpected tenure on television, particularly in light of the 2012’s series’ largely negative reviews. It even prompted a longstanding spin-off following the family matriarch, titled Mama June: From Not to Hot.
That series has seen several name changes over the years, first to Mama June: From Not to Hot – Family Crisis, then to Mama June: Road to Redemption, before fully rebranding to Mama June: Family Crisis in 2023. The series follows the ups and downs of the Shannon family in the wake of their Toddlers and Tiaras fame, and there’s been no shortage of drama across the show’s seven seasons so far.
The latest of this drama saw Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Shannon accuse her mother — known to fans as Mama June — of stealing her hard-earned money. Honey Boo Boo has been a fixture on our screens since she was just 6 years old, and for over 12 years viewers have watched as she went from child to teen, to blossoming adult. She’s stepping into adulthood, now that she’s 18, but the heavily exploited young pageant star doesn’t have nearly the nest egg she expected. As the family hurls accusations and threatens legal action, their family drama is unfurling for the world to see, and the world can’t stop watching.
Where to watch Mama June: Family Crisis
Family Crisis is currently mid-way through airing its seventh season and fans are anticipating another renewal following the latest spate of episodes. The show’s niche popularity is likely due, at least in part, to its easily accessible nature online, where it can be streamed from a variety of sources.
The series is currently available to stream for free via the Roku Channel, or with a subscription to Hulu or Philo. It’s also available on Prime Video, but only for viewers who likewise subscribe to ALLBLK. Specific episodes and even seasons of the show can additionally be purchased from digital retailers like Prime Video or Vudu, for those fans who simply can’t get enough of the ever-swirling Shannon family drama.
