In June 2023, a four-part documentary series focused on the family was released on Creator/PrimeVideo. Titled ''Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets'', it takes a critical look at both the Duggar family themselves and the particular branch of Christianity they followed (and their show subsequently promoted), the Institute in Basic Life Principles.

* FinancialAbuse: The family technically never got paid for being on the show, they were just reimbursed for living expeensives. However, the contracts were all signed with Jim Bob and only Jim Bob through his own production company. None of the kids ever saw a dime of the money until very late in the show’s production, around the time of Jill’s falling out with the family which was in large part due to finding this out. He used this to keep the kids under his thumb and manipulate them to staying on the show. Apparently one of them was even on food stamps at one point. It’s unclear exactly how much money Jim Bob was making a season but Derick claims to the best of his knowledge the ball park is upper 6 figures which goes a long way in rural Arkansas. He also said that when he did the math when Jim Bob did offer to pay them and the other kids, it amounted to about minimum wage.
