This news sounds more like a curse than a blessing. ABC has revealed that they’ve cancelled Bless This Mess so, it won’t be back for the 2020-21 season.
The Bless This Mess comedy series follows young newlyweds Mike and Rio Levine-Young (Dax Shepard and Lake Bell) who give up their lives in New York City to run a farm in Nebraska that Mike’s great-aunt left to him. The cast also includes Ed Begley Jr., Pam Grier, JT Neal, David Koechner, and Madison Curry.
The second season of Bless This Mess averaged a 0.67 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.64 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s even in the demo and up by 9% in overall viewers.
Despite Bless This Mess being one of ABC‘s few TV shows to actually gain viewers in its sophomore season, the network has still decided not to order a third season. Compared to the network’s other scripted series, Bless This Mess was a middle-of-the-road performer.
Both Single Parents and Bless This Mess are produced by 20th Century Fox Television (now owned by ABC parent company, Disney) and executive produced by Liz Meriwether (New Girl). Neither series was picked up for 2020-21 by ABC.
What do you think? Do you watch Bless This Mess TV series? Would you have watched season three on ABC?
Another funny show taken from us!
CBS what are you thinking?
I was just looking up what actress played Dax Sheppards mother in law and why she was hardly on, only to than read it was cancelled.
Absolutely ridiculous, very funny show with a lot characters being built around the 2 leads. It was getting better by the week. Disney, Walt is melting in his preservation ice with that call. I read in their 2nd season they gained just shy of 1 million new viewers,Bad call.
My husband and I have been binge-watching this for the past couple of weeks. It’s such an uplifting and hilarious show. It’s been so good for our souls during this horrible time in history. Please don’t cancel it.
I love Bless this Mess!!!!! One of the best shows out there, so disappointed to see it cancelled. The characters were goofy and lovable, the marriages were realistic but also loving and healthy models for communication, and the variety of personalities was always entertaining. Bring it back!
