ABC introduced four new sitcoms in the regular 2016-17 television season and cancelled two of them. Along with Speechless, the top-10 rated American Housewife TV show was one of the lucky two. Can it keep on keeping on? Will American Housewife be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. *See status update below.
A single-camera family comedy, American Housewife stars Katy Mixon, Diedrich Bader, Meg Donnelly, Daniel DiMaggio, Julia Butters, Carly Hughes, and Ali Wong. The ABC 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.
