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.
This is such CRAP! This is one of the best family shows out there. I think Baby Daddy should come back for another season. Its actually one of the few “FAMILY” shows out there that I can let my kids watch and not have to worry about them seeing something that’s inappropriate. Very sad to see it go.
This sucks such a stupid place to end the show .how many ways to keep the show hoing I Ishmael ot KDE stay on for another season. Wat riley and danny baby name.. wat happehappened with ell
Very mad this show is ending!!! I feel like there’s still so much to be shown!!! It’s one of the few recording on my dvr. And I don’t record a whole lot! Absolutely disappointed in this!
It was a good run! Great show but started to lose it’s steam and appeal in this now last season. The finale seemed to wrap it all up very well.
Seriously… they cancel baby daddy but keep that stupid twin sister show?!? I don’t be know how they can even go off tv ratings anymore when so many people watch them online!!!
The show was cancelled way too soon. There are so many storylines to do. I only tune in on Monday nights to see Baby Daddy.
Please keep the show going! Like Young and Hungry, it’s one of my favorite shows on tv! I look forward to watching every week! A lot of people will be mad that it got cancelled! It was finally just getting good!
Wow this was one of my favorite shows. At the point I’m going to cancel cable. No reason to keep it. Seems like all the networks are cancelling the good shows, and keeping all the stupid reality junk. Very disappointed!!!!
This show is my FAVORITE show.. how’s can it just cancel out of nowhere nowhere? I guess tv ratings are down, but a lot of people don’t have cable anymore. I don’t. I watch the show online. This show is amazing itneeds to go on
I understand it’s my fav show ever and hate that it’s being canceled
So sad to there will not be a season 7. Will another channel pick it up?
That’s a good question
I am very sad you’re cancelling this show, it’s very entertaining and me and my teenage daughter love watching it together, please reconsider as so many have said there is to much left unfinished.
I seriously loved this show. Made me laugh every episode and made me smile. I alwaysed looked forward to it. I can not believe they will not have a season 7, makes me sad to think I won’t be able to have my week laugh with them and see them growing and changing. Great show wish it was renewed instead of cancelled.
I can’t believe they are canceling Baby Daddy! It’s one of the funniest shows on TV. There are not many shows in tv that are just a good show to watch! It makes me laugh and I love all the characters! Please keep it on the air!
I definitely think they are ending the show too soon. It was getting better and better each season. Now that there will be a new edition to the family, they should continue it to see Danny and Ben be fathers together. I’m hoping that maybe Netflix could pick up this show. Thats actually where I binged and watched the show. Started watching it in February and got all caught up by April. I feel like it’s a slap in the face now that it is being cancelled. I really hope it could be continued through Netflix.
Can not believe they canceled this show it was one of the shows actually left on freeform that I watch after the 22th I want be watching freeform
