Last season, FOX cancelled all of its new scripted TV series thanks to low ratings. How will the network fare with this year’s crop with shows like Almost Family on Wednesday nights? Will Almost Family be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A drama series, the Almost Family TV show stars Brittany Snow, Tim Hutton, Megalyn Echikunwoke, Emily Osment, Mo McRae, Mustafa Elzein, and Victoria Cartagena. Based on the Australian drama series Sisters, this show explores what it means to be a family and the potential emotional complications that new generations of In vitro fertilization (IVF) children can face. In the series, Julia Bechley (Snow) is an adult only child who has her world turned upside down. She learns that her father, Doctor Leon Benchley (Hutton), a pioneer in fertility, secretly used his own sperm to father over a hundred children. While still reeling from this revelation, Julia discovers that she has two new half-sisters — her former best friend, Edie Palmer (Echikunwoke), and ex-Olympic athlete Roxy Doyle (Osment). As the three daughters begin to reconcile their new reality, Julia starts life without having her dad by her side, Edie comes to grips with her sexuality, and Roxy faces adulthood out of the spotlight. The trio attempt to bond as unconventional sisters while dealing with new siblings as part of a rapidly expanding and very untraditional extended family.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Almost Family TV series on FOX? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
3/4/20 update: Almost Family has been cancelled, so there will not be a second season.
I really enjoyed almost family. Very good acting and it has me hooked. I like the drama, quirkiness, and humor in this show. It is real, raw, and wonderfully perfect. I hope they make another season. 🙂
Love this show! My mom and I can’t wait for each Wednesday night to watch another episode! I love Brittany and Emily especially, but the whole cast are amazing! It’s such a perfect balance between drama and comedy. Such a break from the ordinary dramas! Please renew it!
Almost Family.
This show is amazing in the reality of life as with situations that I can personally relate to. It reminds me that I’m not the only one in this world that has these same problems/issues. I have watched thus show since I accidentally came across it one day. I gave Telus for my cable TV so I have been watching on demand. I will really miss this story line of these three strong, brave and courageous women. Please don’t take it off the air.
Thanks Cheryl.
Hope its renewed. Its fresh and interesting. Great show
Renew it
RENEW IT! I haven’t been this hooked on a show since All My Children left the air. I can’t wait to see what happens next with Julia!
Definitely renew. There have been countless shows that we’re really good but weren’t given a fair chance. FOX is pretty notorious for pulling shows prematurely, I’d hate to see AF become another victim.
I love this show!!! Please keep it on the air FOX!
If this show’s ratings are that bad, I want FOX to cancel it for good by the end of the season! FYI, I’d like to see Brittany Snow in an “American Dreams” reboot set in the early 1980s as the original took place in the early to mid 1960s.
This is the only show on tv right now that has actual characters. All other shows employ caricatures, exaggerations, or cliches. Nice to see vulnerability and honesty in tv characters. Let’s keep it going
Agreed!
Exactly! Tim isn’t the sympathetic guy like you see in almost every show! Edie isn’t the fight-seeker or overdramatic one you’d expect. Etc etc etc. So real!
I love this show! I hope it’s renewed
FOX, I ORDER YOU TO CANCELL THIS F*CKING CRAP!
I love to watch almost family on Wednesday night
I Love Almost Family, believable in today’s world! Fun and quirky…….
