Earlier this year, “Toddlers & Tiaras” star Alana Thompson aka "Honey Boo Boo Child" appeared on “Anderson.”

Today, according to US Weekly, the breakout star is getting her own spinoff. The 6-year-old’s new show, “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” debuts August 8 on TLC.

TLC said in a statement, "When she's not chasing after crowns, Alana's with her family in rural Georgia doing what her family does best: four-wheeling through mud pits and picking up road kill for the family cookout."

The show will run six half-hour episodes featuring the breakout star and mom June Shannon, dad Sugar Bear and sisters Lauryn “Pumpkin,” Jessica “Chubbs” and Anna “Chickadee.”

In honor of Alana’s big news, take a look at some of our favorite Honey Boo Boo moments from the show...
