It’s lullaby time. The Baby Daddy TV show has been cancelled after six seasons on Freeform. In a couple of Instagram posts, co-executive producer Heidi Clements made it clear the family comedy was drawing to a close and THR has since confirmed there will be no season seven.
The Baby Daddy TV series first premiered on what was then ABC Family, in June of 2012. Its sixth and final season will conclude on May 22nd, with the show’s 100th episode. The Freeform series stars Jean Luc Bilodeau, Melissa Peterman, Derek Theler, Chelsea Kane, and Tahj Mowry, with Kayleigh Harris and Sura Harris sharing the role of little Emma.
About Baby Daddy

“DADDY’S GIRL”

What do you think? Is the Baby Daddy TV series ending at the right time, or should it have been renewed for a seventh season? Sound off, in the comments.
Please don’t cancel I already am losin a lot of show because the networks want to cancel them there is still more to this show Ben need to find a good woman’s to help him him raise Emma tucker too I want know how Riley and danny do as parents plz dont
It should not be cancelled midsession it deserves a full season in order to finish their storylines. And, it is a wonderful show beloved by many that deserves more.
I can’t believe it’s being cancelled midseason. They should at least get to finish the full season. Freeform are some rude fuckers.
It is sad but just because they cancelled it but that doesn’t make Freeform bad people and it is mean to called them that
Oh come on! Baby daddy is an EXTRADINARY series that makes me laugh every time! No offense to the “Johnson’s” but I WON’T be watching that show. Baby Daddy deserves to stay!!
So sad this is being cancelled. I feel like it should have been at least one more season. Hopefully they don’t leave any unfinished business. So many things need to happen! Such as; Riely saying yes to Danny’s proposal, or Ben finally finding the woman he’s been looking for. Tucker needs a woman too. So many things are left without resolution and by doing this it will make people weary to watch a show from a network where all its shows are being cancelled. I better NOT see Young and Hungry cancelled next. I will riot lol.
What are you doing Freeform? Cancelling one of your best shows?? Again?? You already cancelled your most innovative show, “Switched at Birth”. I found that show so fascinating in that you would have whole scenes in ASL. The actors were wonderful. The writers moved away from what made the show wonderful. Stupid move. And now you are making another one…stupid move that is. You need to keep Baby Daddy on the air. There are so few of the “comedy” shows on the air that are worth watching and this is one of them. You need to please reconsider…

I couldn’t find the petition either. Shows like Baby Daddy really grew on me, the characters and everything. Could you make the petition again so I can sign it? (Btw, agree that Young & Hungry should be cancelled. The whole Gabi and Josh thing is getting REALLY annoying)
