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?
I really enjoy watching”Bless this mess” really wanted to see the family have their baby . Sad to see it cancelled
I’m so so bummed. I’ve rewatched the series twice now and was patiently awaiting the next season. I’m so so disappointed. I didn’t find the series until season 2 was going and have turned so many people to the show. Please bring it back!!
My husband and I really liked Bless This Mess. Maybe down the road, they will bring it back or hopefully another channel will give it a chance. Shame on ABC.
One of my favorite shows. Very sad and disappointed it has been cancelled. Hopefully another network will pick it up.
So very, very disappointed to hear “Bless this Mess” is cancelled. My husband and I looked forward to watching every week to see what crazy, real life fun was going to happen. I just do not understand why with increasing rating you take it off the air. I really hope you rethink cancelling and do bring it back. Not Happy:(
Loved the show and hate it is cancelled. Ridiculous! Want it back!!
Great characters! We need a season three!
Loved it I’m sorry to see it go
I thought the show was really cute. They were adorable and so silly. It had a lot of character. I’m so sad to hear it was cancelled. it was something fun to look forward to every week.
there is a god. thank you! worse show ever! no one over the age of 9 would watch.
Please bring it back . We loved Bless this mess. Now more than ever we need to laugh.
Bless this Mess was one of my favorite tv shows. (Single Parents was as well.) What are the execs at ABC thinking??? Given the situation happening in the world right now, it seems to me that TV networks would want to be producing and airing comedies, rather than sci-fi, drama, and sad or depressing shows. Nightly comedies are my one escape from the daily stress of real life. If I was a network exec, I’d be airing reruns of Bless this Mess and Single Parents all summer long, to give people who are still self-isolating/quarantined an opportunity to see them.… Read more »
Please bring bless this mess back why do you cancel all the good shows please reconsider!!!!!!!!!@@@@
Ditto..PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL! We recently discovered Bless This Mess on Hulu as we don’t get major networks. We have been binge watching it for the past two months and love it. It has been so detoxing to sit down in the evenings and watch this funny and refreshing show. Great cast with warm chemistry without a lot of foul language and political agendas. We need this kind of pure entertainment now more than ever.
Why oh why did Bless this Mess get canceled as Rio’s pregnancy was revealed on the last show of the season??
My husband and I really enjoyed the TV show. Please reconsider!!
