With the latest season of Welcome To Plathville fresh, it’s interesting to look at what the shooting timeline for the show is like, since Welcome To Plathville season 7 will feature documented events like Lydia Plath’s wedding to Zac Wyse.
Welcome To Plathville picks up on the Plath family, a large, conservative family who lived on a farm in Cairo, Georgia, away from the influences of the outside world. The family has experienced seismic changes throughout the years, including the dissolution of parents Barry Plath and Kim Plath’s marriage, which stunned the family when they announced it in 2022.
The latest version of the Plath family includes Ethan Plath, fresh off his divorce from Olivia Plath and entering the dating scene again, Isaac Plath exploring his first real relationship, and Micah Plath trying to please both girlfriend Veronica Peters and his overbearing family.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
On Reddit, a post from user lillianrosalieee from two years ago asks if other viewers are confused about the timing of the show. In the post, the commenter asks if anyone knows a concrete timeline for filming, and she was especially wondering because of Ethan and Olivia’s divorce.
“i’m even more curious now that ethan and olivia posted about getting divorced, i wonder how long they’ve been separated before they’ve made it public.”
Comments ranged from viewers guessing that production messed with the timeline a bit, using Moriah’s frequently changing tattoos as a marker of time, to pointing out that the cast likely can’t post about certain things that will be featured on the show until it airs.
This last theory seems realistic, except that the cast has posted about things, like Lydia’s wedding, as they happened in real time.
When Was Welcome To Plathville Season 7 Filmed?
The Season Was Likely Filmed In Late 2024
A tell-tale clue into the production schedule for Welcome To Plathville season 7 came during the premiere, when Lydia’s boyfriend, Zac, asked Barry for his blessing to marry Lydia. Barry was taken aback, since Lydia and Zac had only been dating a few months prior to asking for her hand in marriage.
Not only were Lydia and Zac planning to get married, but they were planning to get married quick. On the show, Barry said Lydia and Zac wanted to get married in three months. Knowing that Zac and Lydia tied to knot on February 22, 2025, we can assume that the shooting schedule for season 7 was likely late 2024.
Is Welcome To Plathville Likely To Speed Up Production?
It’s Unlikely That Producers Will Do Another Season This Year
If Welcome To Plathville gets greenlit for a season 8, it’s likely that production will stick to roughly the same shooting schedule. They are unlikely to cram in another season in 2025, but production for another season, if it happens, will likely start this year.
Following the same precedence, Welcome To Plathville season 8 would likely start filming sometime towards late 2025, with a mid-2026 release date the most obvious choice.
Welcome To Plathville season 7 airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. EDT on TLC.
