canceled + renewed TV shows - TV Series Finale

   

Born This Way: A&E Series to End with Holiday Special

by Jessica Pena, August 22, 2019

 

Born This Way is going out with a bang. A&E just announced the TV show will air a one-hour series finale this December.

The docuseries “provides an intimate look at a diverse group of young men and women with Down syndrome as they pursue their passions and lifelong dreams, explore friendships, romantic relationships and work, all while defying society’s expectations.”

The one-hour series finale of Born This Way will debut on A&E this December. Meanwhile, a six-part digital series will premiere later this year. Read more info below:

New York, NY – August 22, 2019 – A&E Network’s critically-acclaimed, Emmy-winning docuseries “Born This Way” will bring the gang back together for a six-part short form digital series as well as a one-hour linear series finale holiday special. On the heels of last season’s monumental moment of the wedding of cast members Cristina and Angel, the digital series will continue the story of Elena, John, Megan, Rachel, Sean, Steven, Cristina and Angel, and allow them to continue to share their unabashedly honest take on situations that are relatable to all.

The one hour series finale special will celebrate the spirit of the holiday season as the cast gathers to reflect on their personal growth across the four seasons of the show and discuss “Born This Way’s” impact on the way society views people with disabilities. From finding jobs to navigating relationships and break ups to exerting their own independence, the cast will rejoice in the journey they have been on together and thank fans for all of their support along the way.

“It’s not often that you get to make television like ‘Born This Way’ which has had such a positive impact on the world. The show unquestionably changed how society views people with Down syndrome and how people with Down syndrome see themselves,” said Executive Producer Jonathan Murray. “It has shown that no one should have to live with artificial limits placed upon them and all of us, no matter what challenges we face, want the same things – independence, a chance for meaningful employment and a chance to contribute to our families and communities.”

“Being a part of the amazing and inspiring journey of our cast over the past four seasons has been an honor for myself and everyone at A&E,” said Elaine Frontain Bryant, EVP and Head of Programming, A&E Network. “We have all learned so much from their openness, resilience and spirit, and we will be forever grateful to them for welcoming us and viewers into their lives.”

The groundbreaking series provides an intimate look at a diverse group of young men and women with Down syndrome as they pursue their passions and lifelong dreams, explore friendships, romantic relationships and work, all while defying society’s expectations. The series also gives a voice to the parents, allowing them to talk about the joy their son or daughter brings to their family, and the challenges they face in helping them live as independently as possible.

“Born This Way” won the 2016 Emmy(R) Award for Outstanding Unstructured Reality Series and was recognized as one of six honorees at the 2016 Television Academy Honors. The series also won the 2018 Critics’ Choice Award for Best Unstructured Reality Series and has been nominated for an Emmy for all four of its seasons.

A&E continues to partner with celebrated global non-profit organization Best Buddies International (www.bestbuddies.org) in support of promoting opportunities and increasing awareness for people living with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

“Born This Way” is produced by Bunim/Murray Productions (“The Real World”). Executive producers for Bunim/Murray are Jonathan Murray, Gil Goldschein and Laura Korkoian. Kasey Barrett and Millee Taggart-Ratcliffe serve as co-executive producers. Executive producers for A&E Network are Elaine Frontain Bryant and Shelly Tatro. “Born This Way” is distributed internationally by A+E Networks.”

I love this show and am so disappointed it has been cancelled. A&E also has other great shows that I have watched like Intervention but Born This Way is in my opinion “UNDOUBTEDLY THEIR BEST”!
I “literally cried (“happy tears”) and so looked forward to watching every episode”! WOW! Just AMAZING!!
The entire cast, both the children and their parents are so inspiring! Sad that the show will no longer be on and not see their future accomplishments (which I know will be many), and with them the best!

I loved watching the show. Very disappointed that it is ending. Why do good shows like this have to end? With the world the way it is now, it was so refreshing to watch this show. I think this was a big mistake to cancel. However, I can understand if the families thought it was best and time to move on, but it was wonderful. Loved the kids and families. Will definitely miss it!
Hope A&E reconsiders!
