Good things are happening for Better Things.  FX just announced they’ve renewed the TV show for a fourth season.

The comedy series revolves around Sam Fox (Pamela Adlon), a working actor in Los Angeles trying to raise her three children. The cast also includes Mikey Madison, Hannah Alligood, Olivia Edward, Celia Imrie, Rebecca Metz, and Alysia Reiner.

It’s a little surprising that FX has decided to renew Better Things. The show’s ratings weren’t high to begin with and have been slowly declining ever since. So far, season three is averaging a .13 rating in the 18-49 demo an only 363,000 viewers.

However, the network seems to have faith in the critically acclaimed series. FX announced season four will debut in 2020.
