Although The Learning Channel (TLC) has already cancelled the Duggars' reality show "19 Kids and Counting," it is still working on projects involving some members of the Duggar family, in particular Jill and Jessa Duggar.

TLC's cancellation of the Christian reality TV show came after a 2006 police report on the child molestation allegations against Josh was published in a magazine in May this year.

Soon after cancelling the show, TLC teamed up with Duggar sisters Jill and Jessa to create a documentary about child abuse titled "Breaking the Silence."

Now, TLC appears to be lining up more documentaries. Production for one of the documentaries has already begun, according to Fox News.

The first documentary is expected to air sometime before the year ends. The other documentaries have no scheduled air dates yet.

One documentary will focus on Jill Dillard's move to El Salvador in Central America with her husband Derick and infant son Israel David as they embark on a new Christian ministry.

Another documentary will highlight Jessa Seewald's first pregnancy with her husband Ben. The child's gender still remains a mystery and it will only be revealed when Jessa gives birth on Nov. 1.

"What we will be following in these specials is Jessa preparing for her first child," TLC Executive Vice President and General Manager Nancy Daniels said. "And we'll be watching Jill preparing to make a major move to Central America with her family, which we know is something our audience will be interested in."

The project, Daniels said, came together quickly "after talking with the girls and understanding that this was something they wanted to do."

"We know that our audience is really excited about what's been going on with Jill and Jessa as they move into young adulthood," she added. "And now they're both at the precipice of big changes. With what's happening in their lives in the next few months, it felt like now is the time (for the specials), and we got going pretty quickly."

A production source who requested anonymity confirmed that Josh will not be a part of any of the documentaries. The Duggar family forgave Josh for molesting four of his sisters when he was just a teenager. However, no such forgiveness has been expressed yet after he cheated on his wife Anna using the hacked adultery website Ashley Madison.
