The Derricos will premier on TLC next month.
Deon said in a promo: "Having four sets of multiples back to back? It's like getting struck by lightning while getting struck by lightning.
"Many parents know with just one child, two children, it's a job. But when you have soon-to-be 14, it's a job."
Karen added: "We have our good days and our bad days.
"But there's always enough love."

Karen and Deon's 14 children, made up of quintuplets, triplets and two sets of twins, were all conceived naturally.
Both sides of the family are known for giving birth to multiples.
The series kicks off as the couple is preparing to welcome their triplets.
However, at 24 weeks Karen is forced to spend the rest of the pregnancy in the hospital.
This leaves Deon alone at home with their 11 other children, who range in age from 2-14.
