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.
I think Baby Daddy should be brought back!!!! That was not a good ending!
Definitely not a good ending! It needs to be brought back back!!!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this show. I used to watch it weekly but lost track when I had my youngest son. I saw it on Netflix and was so happy!!! Been slowly watching for weeks, to savor the funny, which there is sooooooo much of!!! I’m totally sad that all the loose ends weren’t tied up. It a sitcom for Christ’s Sake, there has to be a happy ending, with details and flashbacks/futures…LOL
Definaltely not the right time to end, so many loose ends. I’m sure others will agree that we want to see the new family-Danny, Riley, and new baby. Ben finally found Elle. Don’t end a show this way. Unfortunately it happens to often. Don’t let it happen to a great show like this!!
Bring it back!!! I littereally binged watched this show for a full 3 days and never stopped laughing!! You can’t end it like this!!
Not to mention Ben finally met his dream girl!
BABY DADDY NEEDS TO RETURN FOR A 7TH SEASON!!!! Everything just started to pick up, I would love to see what happenes with Danny and Riley and their baby! Please make more!
you need to continue this show i am so mad right now
It should not have been canceled it was super funny and they didn’t even answer all the questions. I hate when shows dont give us closure and just end!
this is one of the shows that actually made me laugh. i need to know what the baby name is for the new baby. im upset that freeform cancelled this wonderful show. I NEED A SEASON 7. There is still so much to know.
We need closure! How about one episode to flash into the future.
I’m so pissed how can they end it like that I want to see how the other baby turns out and what his name is gonna be and if Ben and L ever date / be together forever ugh
Sad that there isn’t a season 7 coming out:(
I love this show, I hate to see it cancelled. We’ve watched it on Netflix from day 1, my daughter & I laughed our butts off, no other show has that affect on us.
They cant leave it off right their. There is still more to come…….
