Matt Roloff gave fans more than they bargained for after he sat down for a fan-studded reading of his children's book, which was published in 2018.
After the reading, as reported by at least one witness there, the reality television star opened the floor for questions. During this session, an attendee asked about the status of "Little People, Big World" season 25, leading Matt to disclose some juicy information about the series that many people assume is on its way.
Matt Roloff Reaffirmed His Sons’ Continued Absence From The Hit TLC Series
A few "Little People, Big World" fans had one of their dreams fulfilled when Matt invited them to a reading. For the event, the owner of Roloff Farms read his book "Little Lucy Big Race," which is inspired by the family farm dog Lucy and dedicated to his grandson, Jackson.
As mentioned above, after the reading, the father of four welcomed fans to ask any questions about the book or his family's time on "LPBW." Answering one dedicated fan's inquiry about what the reality show had in store for its 25th season, the patriarch said:
"We finished filming for Season 25 back in August."

However, he admitted that the Roloffs were sometimes the last people to know the exact premiere date. The TLC star then jokingly mentioned that he occasionally reads a news headline about the show's release before getting contacted by the production company.
Matt added that his sons Jeremy and Jacob will remain off the show, continuing in their years-long decision to quit. At the same time, his son, Zach, has been facing health challenges following his emergency brain surgery in February.
Additionally, The U.S. Sun reported the television personality's claim that "LPBW" season 25 will document Zach's ongoing recovery and other "health issues that come with dwarfism."
As things turned out, the 33-year-old isn't the only one dealing with health problems, as his dad previously disclosed the "rough" time he had in May. Posting an image of himself in a hospital bed on social media, Matt expressed in the caption:
"went in for what I thought was routine upper endoscopy to check out my esophagus … When things don't go as planned and the Doc tells Caryn [Chandler] "we had some complications" turns out i have some unexpected twists n turns leading down to the stomac[h]."
He stated that, despite not needing the computer chip and monitor installation, there was still "more work to be done." The Roloff patriarch also explained that his hospitalization led to him taking time off work and keeping a low profile. Fortunately, Matt returned to "action" on Monday, May 22, which is when he shared the update with his fans.

He sported a black vest, brown flannel shirt and blue jeans, with a white and green sign behind him indicating that a "Short Term Rental" would soon be available for interested parties. Elaborating on the situation, the motivational speaker typed in the caption:
"If any families out there want a front row seat and VIP access to the @rolofffarms Pumpkin Patch. (literally watch all the fun from your front porch). We have the last weekend available to stay at the big house. Best suited for Large family groups and reunions. Hope to see you on the wagon trail. link to itrip in bio."
"Looks like you got it back to perfection. Knew you would….good stuff Matt. 👊🏽," one fan responded enthusiastically in the comments section. Another Instagram user exclaimed, "Definitely one of my bucket list places to go!!!, and a third acknowledged, "Oh this would be super cool to stay at the rollof [sic] farms."
Others who thought Matt made the wrong move by not selling the farm to his sons when they showed interest in buying it also chimed in. This critic penned:
"Nah, not the way he cheated his kids out of it. He should've sold it to zack and Jeremy. Bad move. He prioritized land over his family. They wanted to buy it because they love it, not just want it for profit."
A second non-supporter pointed out, "Nothing is the same since you and Amy divorced. You, Amy and the kids had a wonderful show. I miss the original Roloff family."
