Last season, About a Boy was NBC’s highest-rated sitcom. Will it continue to a hit for the network or will the ratings fall? Cancelled or renewed for season three? Time will tell.
About a Boy revolves around San Francisco songwriter Will Freeman (David Walton) who had a big hit. It set him up for life financially — and gave him a lot of freedom and free time. His world is turned upside down when a charming boy named Marcus (Benjamin Stockham) and single mom named Fiona (Minnie Driver) move in next door.
