Courtesy of Netflix “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ is getting the behind-the-scenes treatment per Netflix.
Patriarch Jon Gosselin and two of his kids, Collin and Hannah, are filming a Netflix documentary about their time filming the show, the streamer announced.
Per the official logline, “For nearly a decade, a family’s chaos and love played out on TV as comfort viewing. Years later, conflicting accounts have emerged from within the family itself — competing memories of the same childhood, the same home, the same spotlight. The new documentary takes a closer look, piecing together the story from every angle: the children who grew up on camera, the adults who built a brand around them, and the audience that couldn’t look away. It’s an intimate look at how real life became a phenomenon the world thought it knew.”
Producing the project are Mike Gasparro and Julia Willoughby-Nason for The Cinemart (“American Murder: Gabby Petito,” “Death of the Pastor’s Wife”).

“Jon & Kate Plus 8” ran for eleven seasons, from 2007-2017, starting on Discovery Health before moving to TLC. The show documented the Gosselin family, who had sextuplets and twins.
