"After 14 years, over 300 episodes and 17 seasons, the time has come. A year ago I made the decision that this season would be our last," Jeremy wrote. "It has been an amazing run, and I can't say thank you enough to all of you who have watched and supported us along the ride."

"We will still be supporting the family as they carry the #LPBW torch onward. This is a decision concerning Audrey and me specifically - the show must go on!" he added. "That being said, we're not disappearing. We have a lot of exciting stuff in the works and are eager to continue the work that the Lord has called us to!"

Little People, Big World premiered in 2006. The show follows Jeremy and most of his family -- parents Matt Roloff and Amy Roloff, brother Zach Roloff and sister Molly Roloff. Matt, Amy and Zach all have dwarfism.
