There has been a lot of speculation about whether or not the Brown family will return to Alaskan Bush People, in the aftermath of the death of Billy Brown. Sadly Billy died in February 2021, after suffering a seizure. His passing occurred at the tail end of Season 13 which means the following season was tinged with grief as the Browns attempted to put their life back together.
More health issues plagued the family when, in 2022, doctors discovered two large tumors in Ami Brown's ovaries. Although they were non-cancerous, this is something she will have to monitor closely. After Season 14, the show went on hiatus and there is no indication it's returning. With that in mind, let's check in with the Browns and see what they are up to now.

The Brown kids get into shenanigans while filming Alaskan Bush People
And while IMDb doesn't list a set date for the arrival of new episodes, there are still folks who are keeping tabs on the lives of the Brown members. Here's what they've been up to since season 14.
Matt Brown
When the show first started, Matt Brown was one of the oldest of the ABP kids. He hasn't been featured on the show since its eighth season, and he moved to California after he entered rehab for alcoholism in 2016. He has a YouTube channel with over 45,000 followers where he regularly updates viewers about his life, which is still pretty wild. You know what they say, you can take the boy out of Alaska but you can't take the Alaska out of the boy.
Bam Bam Brown
The second oldest, Bam Bam Brown was 28 years old when the series first started, and after taking a short break from filming in 2017, he came back in 2019. His Instagram highlights his photography, which focuses on nature and almost takes on a peaceful or zen-like vibe. He loves a calm body of water, and we don't blame him.
Bear Brown
Bear Brown was on Alaskan Bush People for a whopping 107 episodes, which means the fans really got to know him. He and his wife Raiven have three children and are raising their wolf pack, his words, in Alaska.
Gabe Brown
Gabe Brown's sideburns have grown since he first debuted on the show and he's been seen rocking eyeliner a lot since that time as well. He's been married to his longtime girlfriend Raquel Rose Pantilla since 2019, and the couple have two kids together. Before you ask yes, he's still playing the guitar.
Noah Brown
The youngest Brown brother, Noah was 20 years old when the show first debuted in 2014 and he's got two kids with his wife Rhain Alisha: Elijah Connor (born in 2019) and Adam Bishop (2021). He regularly posts about the music he's been working on along with the crafts that he makes and sells online, like this plastic-leaf decorated lamp.
Snowbird Brown
OG fans of the show will remember that Snowbird Brown was only 18 years old when she first appeared on camera for the show. While she wasn't active on social media, leaving fans to catch glimpses of her on the 102 episodes she's been featured in, she's recently taken to sharing more of her life, which is filled with shout outs of her other family members and glimpses of her life around animals and enjoying the outdoors outside of filming.
Rain Brown
Also known as "Rainy," Rain Brown she was just a 10-year-old child when she made her first appearance on Alaskan Bush People. In December 2024, she shared a post on Instagram about shutting down her account. She signed off as Rain K B Lorton. In a previous post, Rain wrote a lovely caption about her boyfriend, Josiah Lorton. It's possible she got married. We may never know as the new Instagram account she directed fans to is not working.
Ami Brown
Ami Brown, who was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer, was able to beat the illness but found herself embroiled in legal troubles shortly after her late husband Billy Brown's passing. According to The Sun, Ami was sued for $500,000 by an investor in Billy Brown's estate who said that the late reality TV star owes him cash for a $20,000 investment made into Alaska Wilderness Productions.
The individual contests that they were never paid money for a 10- year period of the investment and Billy's estate is looking to waive the $500,000 payout along with the investor's demand for a trial. There are no new updates to the trial but according to Ami's Instagram, she is healthy and happy with her family.
