The Duggar children have inspired TLC to create a brand new series for them even after Josh Duggar's sex scandal.

Jill and Jessa: Counting On is set to premiere March 15 at 9PM ET/PT on TLC.
The series will reportedly follow Jessa and her husband Ben Seewald as well as Jill and her husband Derick Dillard as they adjust to parenthood. Jessa, 23, and Ben have a three-month-old baby boy named Spurgeon, while Jill, 24, and Derick have a 10-month-old son Israel and participate in missionary work in Central America.
In a promo for Jill and Jessa: Counting On obtained by People, Jessa says "family is everything" and another Duggar admits "2015 was a very difficult year."
Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar's other children Jana Duggar, Jinger Duggar, Joy Anna Duggar, John David Duggar, Josiah Duggar and Joseph Duggar will also make appearances on the show.
The Duggar family discovered in August of last year Josh had cheated on his wife Anna Duggar and developed an addiction to pornography. The mother of his four children already had enough to deal with when Josh's "teenage mistakes" -- molesting a handful of girls, including his own sisters Jill and Jessa, over a decade ago -- came back to haunt them in May.
Josh's problems splashed across national headlines and naturally tainted the picture-perfect image of his ultra-conservative family. Their 19 Kids & Counting series was canceled in July due to backlash from fans and the media.
Josh is currently in a faith-based rehab center in Rockford, IL.
