'Alaskan Bush People' Season 8 Air Date: Ami Brown Concerned About Gabe's Breakdown Causing Delay, Discovery Might Move Premiere To Summer 2018

Fans are still waiting for updates on the Alaskan Bush People Season 8 air date. After all, the highly anticipated return of the Discovery Channel series was expected to happen in early May, but the network has yet to make an official announcement. However, it looks like viewers are not the only ones concerned about the delay. Lead star Ami Brown is reportedly worried that her son Gabe is the one responsible for pushing back the show's premiere.

People initially believed that the Alaskan Bush People Season 8 release date had been moved back in favor of Ami Brown who was reportedly battling lung cancer. However, newer reports revealed that the Brown matriarch is currently in remission and is already filming for the upcoming season. So what is causing the delay? There is a possibility that Gabe Brown's increasingly crazy social media posts have hinted at serious mental health issues.

Gabe Brown has been posting strange things on his official Instagram account for a long time. Last month, the Alaskan Bush People Season 8 star shared a photo featuring his new creation he decided to call "Tie Guy." Although some fans praised the reality TV star for his creativity, others thought he was being immature despite being 30-years-old.

So is it possible that Gabe Brown's mental health has delayed the Alaskan Bush People Season 8 air date? There are speculations that Discovery Channel is trying to get the fourth Brown son all the help he needs before resuming broadcast. There is a possibility that his mother Ami Brown is trying to care for her son while she continues to recover herself. This could mean that the family has asked the network for more time to allow both of them to get better before announcing the premiere.

Fans who are concerned that the Alaskan Bush People Season 8 air date has been canceled can rest assured that Discovery Channel has no plans of giving up on the Browns. Executive Vice President of Public Relations for Discovery Laurie Goldberg told Radar Online that "the cancellation of Alaskan Bush People are[sic.] totally fabricated and completely untrue" and that "Billy, Ami and all of their children are incredibly excited to be filming for the new season right now." Hopefully, an announcement will be made later this month.
