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.

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.
Honestly I’m VERY upset with how it ended seems like EVERY show I like on free from gets cancelled at the worst time. So sickening. Think I’ll stay away from free form for awhile.
Don’t cancel it!!!!! Nooooooooooo!!!
I want a season 7 I love this show
So sad to see this get cancelled.. I too cried on the last episode… we will never know if Elle and Ben get together ughh
Not loving the fact that the show is not renewing with season 7. the ending of the show was good but it could’ve been better. Riley gave birth & Ben finally meets Elle again. what happens after?! they still have to show whether or not Elle & Ben really do end up together. i was waiting but now i know there definitely won’t be a season 7. that’s just so sad!
BEST SITCOM EVER, so sad 🙁 bloody idiots ….. all the horrible shows that are not cancelled
Please don’t cancel baby daddy, I feel there’s enough for just 1 more season. This was the greatest show I ever watched and cried when I just finished the last episode.
Please bring baby daddy back best show ever I was so sad when I saw this I legit watched the whole 6 seasons on Netflix in like a week
Please don’t end the show this is the best thing to watch nowadays on television with my kids without having to say close your eyes or cover your ears. I absolutely love this show please keep it going. The best sitcom ever!!!
Omg please make a new season, I started actually crying when I read it was cancelled, I beg you to bring it back I just recently showed all my friends and they love it and are also sad it’s been cancelled.
i cnt beleive that babby daddy has been caneled i was one episode and loved it so i benge watch all epiosde till i cought up to live tv season 6 episode 5 i thing then i has to wait for season 7 now its not coming iam extremely dissapointed
Very dissappointed that such a funny and entertainingly well written show would be cancelled so abruptly, while on the other hand so many loathsome reality shows remain on the air for what seems forever. Some of us still appreciate a good script and good acting. Pls bring Baby Daddy back.
Keep baby daddy! Ben finally found Elle and Emma was asking about her mother. It’s only fair to the viewers that you at least play out and wrap up that story. We waited so long for Ben to find happiness and for Emma do have a strong female role model. Please just give us that.
PLEASE BRING BABY DADDY BACK!!! I love this show I’d hate for it to end!!
No it shouldnt be cancelled it needs to continue. Its one of the best shows out there. And it cant leave people hanging
