— -- You haven't seen the last of Kate Gosselin and her eight kids.

TLC has ordered more episodes of "Kate Plus 8" to begin airing later this year in December, People magazine reports.

The theme of the show will be Gosselin, 39, and her children on vacation in New England and the mother of eight -- Cara, Mady, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel -- preparing to send the kids back to school when summer ends.

After a public back-and-forth between Gosselin and her ex-husband, Jon, Kate was given a June TLC special that racked in more than 2 million viewers.

Jon Gosselin, 37, told Oprah Winfrey last year that he didn't want his kids on TV and wasn't too excited about the special or the idea of cameras filming them again.

"Developmentally, they have problems with their peers, and they have problems with talking to other people,” Gosselin said of his children after being on reality TV from 2007 to 2011.

“They have problems with wants and needs and manners and morals and what’s right and what’s wrong,” he said. ”I think more so than someone who grows up off TV.”
