The spinoff show “Kate Plus 8” may debut later in November, but the participation of the Gosselin children is still in doubt, as is that TV show.

The Post says network sources confirm TLC is editing previously filmed segments to create several “new” episodes of the series, so it can extend into early November.

A big series finale is then expected in mid-November.

But “Jon & Kate” will exist only in reruns after next month.

There was no public comment from Jon and Kate Gosselin on Thursday.

In June, TLC doubled its episode commitment for the series to 38, after the "Jon & Kate" divorce episode drew 10.6 million viewers.

But the couple's squabbling and an historic ratings plunge led to just 17 episodes so far, a move that cost the Gosselins hundreds of thousands of dollars.

According to court papers made public by Radar Online last week, Jon and Kate Gosselin were not being paid by TLC after Jon Gosselin demanded that camera crews leave his house in Wernersville, Pa.

Last Tuesday, MyFoxPhilly was the first to report that the Gosselins had two outstanding mortgages and that the original combined balances on those mortgages exceeded $900,000.

With the family's main source of income gone, there will be more attention on the court fight over the couple's finances.

Kate Gosselin won a legal battle when a judge asked Jon Gosselin to return $180,000 to an escrow account.

However, Jon Gosselin also claimed last week that Kate Gosselin had $1 million stashed in various bank accounts.

The couple will be at a public hearing on October 26 in Norristown, Pa., where they hope to have a judge approve a financial settlement arranged by an arbitrator.

Both parents have publicly sought TV jobs, but their appeal as a commodity may be waning.
