The Willis Family is an American reality television show about a musical family that aired on TLC in 2015 and 2016.[1] The show follows a family of 14 from Nashville, Tennessee, demonstrating their musical and dancing skills while "sharing ... talents and balancing a life at home".[2] The family of entertainers, known onstage as The Willis Clan, reached the quarter-finals of season 9 of America's Got Talent. Parents Toby and Brenda Willis have 12 children – eight girls and four boys.

The show was cancelled on September 11, 2016, following the arrest of Toby Willis on four counts of child rape.[3][4]
