What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the SundanceTV cable channel, The A Word stars Max Vento, Lee Ingleby, Morven Christie, Vinette Robinson, Greg McHugh, Adam Wittek, Tommie Grabiec, Molly Wright, Pooky Quesnel, and Christopher Eccleston. When five-year-old Joe Hughes (Vento) is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, feelings bubble to the surface which only serve to highlight the tensions between his family members. Now they must connect with one another, even as they learn to give Joe what he needs.
The A Word has been renewed for a third season which will debut November 4, 2020. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
We don’t track ratings for Sundance TV shows, so it is hard to predict whether they will cancel or renew The A Word for season three. On top of that, this dysfunctional family drama is a BBC One series, so the BBC has to commission a third series (i.e. season), in order for SundanceTV to consider renewal. My gut says if the BBC renews it, Sundance will, too. Because that’s just a guess though, I’ll keep an eye on the trades and update this page with breaking developments.

Really hoping for another season!! The show is well written and gives a light-hearted and entertaining view of life with a developmentally challenged person.
Please renew, I have an autistic grandson and this show is so realistic, human and true and healing for those of us living with ASD in the family. Please renew!
I would so enjoy another season – please consider it . I have loved the characters, settig and continuing story development…… leaves me questing for more laughs, tears and hopes for things to’settle’ down for this very human family. Renew!!!!!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW. PLEASE CONTINUE FOR SEASON 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
This is a excellent show! You are pulled into the characters lives dealing with every day life and their families. While you are entertained by the fine acting, you also get a peek inside a family with an Autistic child without being preached at. Having a child on the Autism spectrum I can say this is a good representation of reality. It’s a good mix of entertainment and education. PLEASE renew this show, I look forward to other seasons.
Please come back for season 3!!!!!!
I love the A Word hope third season !!
One of the few shows on the air today that is decent. I hope they renew more seasons
Please continue this excellent series. My 3 great-grandchildren, all siblings, ages 11, 4 and almost 3 have been diagnosed and are on the spectrum. The show has given our entire family invaluable insights into the illness. Thank you.
My granddaughter has 3 children ages 11, 4 and almost 3. All have been diagnosed with autism. Her husband (who is probably on the spectrum) refuses to believe there is anything wrong with their children and fights everyday against the 4 yr old who is non-verbal, continuing pre-School. She and most of our large family living around the U. S. watched this enlightening tv show and never missed an episode. We all learned so very much about our wonderful family members and had long, conversations after each episode. Please continue the series. There must be many more households equally as… Read more »
This is a riveting television show and addresses a little talked about illness in our society. Plus the stress to families coping or not is well worth thinking about. The acting is great, story lines interesting and we never miss an episode. Hope to see this series continue for as long as they have something to say.
This is the most true and accurate show I have ever seen realted to autism and the complexity of relationships for all those who are in the life and beyond it of the child with autism. Extremely nuanced and realistic, poignant but never over the top
More The A Word please
Please continue The A Word. It’s a ibeautiful show. The actors are wonderful, the stories and characters are so relatable. As trying as it can be, everyone should have a Joe in their lives.
This is a excellent show. First because it is entertaining. Secondly because it shows what life is like with an Autistic child. Please renew this show, I look forward to another season.
