What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, American Housewife stars Katy Mixon, Diedrich Bader, Meg Donnelly, Daniel DiMaggio, Giselle Eisenberg, and Ali Wong. The sitcom centers on Katie Otto (Mixon), a confident and unconventional mother from the wealthy town of Westport, Connecticut. Katie wants to “keep it real” stand apart from her community’s “perfect” parents and their entitled children. Katie’s logic-driven husband, Greg (Bader), supports her efforts as best he can. Together, they try to make sure that their three kids — headstrong Taylor (Donnelly), snarky Oliver (DiMaggio), and obsessive-compulsive Anna-Kat (Eisenberg) — understand their family’s old-fashioned values, so they don’t end up carbon copies of their neighbors.

Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew American Housewife for season six? For the 2019-20 season, this show was one of ABC’s lowest-rated comedies and it was renewed while higher-rated shows like Schooled, Bless This Mess, and Single Parents were all cancelled. It’s fully owned by ABC Studios so that’s a positive financially. I think American Housewife might be renewed for a final season but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was cancelled either.
