Doubling Down with the Derricos is a reality television show that premiered on TLC in August 2020. The show stars Deon and Karen Derrico and their 14 children, including four sets of multiples: two sets of triplets, one set of twins, and two singletons. The family lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the show follows their daily lives, as well as the challenges and joys of being a large family. Deon and Karen met in college and have been married for over 15 years. They always knew they wanted a big family, but they never could have imagined they would have 14 children. The show follows the Derricos as they navigate their busy lives, from getting everyone to school in the morning, to managing mealtime for a family of 16, to dealing with the rebellious teenage years. One of the unique aspects of the show is the Derricos' relationship with their doctor. Because Karen has a history of high-risk pregnancies and has already experienced multiple miscarriages, the couple works closely with their doctor to ensure that each pregnancy is as safe and healthy as possible. The show documents Karen's most recent pregnancy, in which she gives birth to triplets, all of whom were born prematurely and required extended stays in the NICU. Another standout element of the show is the family's commitment to their faith. The Derricos are devout Christians, and religion plays an important role in their lives. They often pray together as a family, and they believe that their faith helps them through the challenges of raising 14 children. While the show has its share of chaotic moments, it also highlights the quieter, more heartwarming aspects of family life. Viewers see Deon taking his older children on a father-son camping trip, or Karen taking the girls to the salon for a day of pampering. They also see the children pitching in to help with household chores and learning important life skills from their parents. Overall, Doubling Down with the Derricos is a heartwarming and entertaining look into the lives of a large and loving family. Viewers will no doubt be impressed by the Derricos' ability to juggle the demands of raising 14 children, while also maintaining their faith, their marriage, and their own individuality.
