If you aren't sure what to expect when watching "Shiny Happy People," the docuseries features interviews from former IBLP members discussing the traumatizing truth behind the cult. This includes former "19 Kids and Counting" star Jill Duggar Dillard, whose relationship with her parents is strained and is seen getting emotional in the series trailer.

The description for the documentary series on Amazon gives a glimpse into how the documentary will expand from focusing on the Duggars to being about IBLP. When interviewed on the "Reality Life with Kate Casey" podcast, the docuseries producers Olivia Crist and Julia Willoughby Nason discussed this. Willoughby Nason tells Casey that the Duggar family is a "jumping off point for us for a much, much larger story" on the IBLP. When asked what she thought was the most dangerous part of the cult, Willoughby Nason also mentions the authority structure that puts men above women and children, saying, "This sort of structure is just ripe with abuse."
