"Counting On" has been canceled at TLC after 11 seasons.
The show served as a spin-off of "19 Kids and Counting" and followed members of the Duggar family who were not as prominently featured in the original.
"TLC will not be producing additional seasons of ‘Counting On,’" the network told Fox News in a statement on Tuesday. "TLC feels it is important to give the Duggar family the opportunity to address their situation privately."
News of the cancellation comes as Josh Duggar faces charges of child pornography. His trial was originally set for the coming weeks but has been pushed back to November.

Duggar and his family appeared in "19 Kids" from 2008-2015. The show was canceled in 2015 when news broke that Duggar, now 33, had allegedly molested several young girls, four of them being his sisters.
Later that year, it was reported that Duggar owned an account on Ashley Madison, a website meant to facilitate extramarital affairs.
Duggar did not appear in "Counting On," which ran from 2015-2020.
