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 really wish it could go on for season seven, this is one my favorite comedy shows on freeform . I don’t get why it was cancelled anyway . They shouldn’t have cancelled it where season 6 ended. We need to find out what happens with Ben and Elle. I also want to find out what happens with Danny’s and Riley’s baby.
This show is also a keeper. Would definitely continue watching!!
I wish it could have gone to season 7, the way its left things with Elle in Ben! ugh
I do NOT think Baby Daddy should be cancelled. My family loves this show. It’s a shame that you are taking a great show off the air. I know of many people who would like to see Baby Daddy continue. Please reconsider and bring back Baby Daddy!!
I’m so disappointed! I just finished season 6 on Netflix. I’m sad that the show left of this way! What happened between Elle and Ben? Just ridiculous. 🙁
I love this show, it should definitely continue!!!!!!
This is what I hate. We get invested in a good show and it gets cancelled on a cliffhanger. Baby Daddy should have at least another season to explain what happens with Ben and Elle. He obsessed with looking for her just to end when they find each other. The story needs to continue….it would be great if they changed their minds about no season 7.
I think it should go for a season 7 I think it would be great to cotinue the show
There has to be a season 7!!!! We need to know not only the name of the baby, but if Riley and Danny are great at taking care of a new born or has a hard time especially because of both of their careers. We also need to know wt happens to Ben and Elle! How will we know if they actually get together??
Yes it should be on for another season..this is so wrong
Nooooo. Baby Daddy needs to go on!!!!
I think that is should have been renewed for another season this rite here is what makes me mad
I absolutely love this show and I think it should be renewed. I don’t like how they left the cliffhanger. I really want to know what happens next.
I am so sad that Baby Daddy is not going to continue on! I loved that show! Every one of the actors were exceptional! They just seemed like a friend and I couldn’t wait to visit with them each week. I really looked forward to each episode! I especially liked Ben. He has such a way about himself. I hope at some point you will reconsider cancelling.
So sad to see this show go, I was excited for what was next for Danny AND Riley so disappointed that they just ended it without even giving it a full season of episodes and at least giving the characters some closure..
