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.
U should bring the show back because the way it ended was not how I was planning it to be cause I want to see Emma grow up and Danny’s baby as well plz hopefully u will see this because it would make my day all I want is for u to bring the show back and a lot of people want the same thing and we all know it so plz bring the show back
One more season to end it right
I’m so bummed please bring it back. I loved this show.
Please bring the show back! We want to see Emma grow and Ryle raise her baby!!!! Please please please, give it one more season!
please bring the show back it is so good. you can’t leave us hanging like that what happens with Ben and Elle and the new baby and so much more!!!!
This sucks!!!!!! Why did Baby Daddy have to go???? I have not watched a whole lot of tv over the past few years, new mom with two now preschoolers. My oldest loves Full House reruns, so eventually, her and I found time to watch Fuller House on Netflix together. Baby Daddy, a show I had never even heard of, was a title that came recommended to us after we finished Fuller House in the “because you watched this” section. Having zero expectations I watched the pilot and oh my goodness, love!! My first thought, “is that little Teddy from Full… Read more »
I’m really bummed that the show is cancelled. I’ve been waiting months for the next season and only just now read the news it’s cancelled. Another Netflix binge that was a waste of time!
Honestly, I never even heard about this show. Just stumbled upon it one day and fell in love with it. Watched all the seasons in probably less than 3 weeks. I was super excited to see if there was going to be a new season but looks like there won’t be :(. It would be nice if they did have a 7th season so the show can have a better ending to it then just leaving everyone hanging…. All in all, I LOVED this show =)!!
I like watching baby daddy. It’s supper funny and super good. Why leave everyone hanging like that. Ben finally finds his dream girl after several episodes and now no happy ending. Then Riley and her new baby. Dang when I need a laugh that’s show I know I will laugh too. So what if rating were lower for season 6 than 5. It doesn’t mean 7 would be lower. With everything happening it could of been a great season.
Why do all the good shows seem to be taken away? I would have loved to see more of this show as well as switched at birth!!! As I said all good shows dealing with reality seem to fade while others dealing with fiction seem to thrive for many seasons. Why?
I do think that baby daddy was cancelled at the wrong time. We just got to see Riley and Danny’s baby Ben finally found Elizabeth aka El after a year almost as looking for her. then Emma is almost ready to go to school. I think that would be something cool to see. It’s great to have role models for young boys. There is too much negativity out there. And positive role models will help them to understand that being a man is taking care of their responsibilities. But being a father takes dedication sacrifice understanding unconditional love guidance. And… Read more »
I love this show!!!!! It was amazing!!!!! I hate how Hollywood keeps on canceling my favorite shows!!!! If only they could keep making episodes even if it’s just a few people watching.
I absolutely love this show..this is what y’all do…when you get a good show you yank it from the public all the time..I really love this show and wish it would be renewed for its seventh season..cause I really think it’s a hit…I guess since like some other networks have pulled some shows I watch ..I guess this is another station who has lost a big fan ..and I will quit watching this station too
You can’t just end it here! I love this show! Netflix should pick this up and continue it cause that’s where I watch all of it!!!! Please don’t let it end.
Yes, that would be a great idea
Baby daddy needs to come back it is amazing.. there were too many loose ends I mean come on ben met his dream girl Riley had her baby ,we had the adventure with Emma now we can have one with Riley’s new baby let’s do this let’s see Danny be a dad !!
