Although the ratings slipped some last year, the American Housewife TV show remained a top-10 scripted series for ABC. Can it maintain its audience, or even build it back up in the third season? Will a new time slot help or hurt its chances to return next year? Will American Housewife be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An ABC single-camera family comedy, American Housewife stars Katy Mixon, Diedrich Bader, Meg Donnelly, Daniel DiMaggio, Julia Butters, Carly Hughes, and Ali Wong. The sitcom centers on Katie Otto (Mixon). As an average wife and mother, she prefers to stand apart from Westport CT’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 kids, Taylor (Donnelly), Oliver (DiMaggio), and Anna-Kat (Butters) internalize the family’s values, so they don’t end up carbon copies of their neighbors.
