Kate  took the cancellation in stride.  She wrote on Twitter, "We've had a great run! Six years of whirlwind fun-filled adventures thanks to TLC and our many many supportive & diehard fans! While it is very sad for me and the kids (there were many tears at the breakfast table this morning!), we are looking forward with great anticipation to our bright future!"

The series originally began as Jon & Kate Plus 8, with Kate's  now-ex-husband, Jon Gosselin.
