This Monday night marks the finale of Bunheads but it won’t be the last episode. ABC Family has ordered additional episodes of the freshman dramedy.
Bunheads revolves around a Las Vegas showgirl (Sutton Foster) who ends up widowed and teaching dance in a small town far from the Strip. The rest of the cast includes Kaitlyn Jenkins, Julia Goldani Telles, Bailey Buntain, Emma Dumont, Kelly Bishop, and Alan Ruck. To date, the TV show has averaged a 0.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.37 million total viewers.
In addition to today’s good news for Bunheads fans, ABC Family renewed Melissa & Joey, Switched at Birth and Baby Daddy for new seasons and cancelled Jane By Design.
Rather than give Bunheads a new season order, the cable channel execs have instead given Bunheads a full first season instead. It’s unknown how many additional episodes have been ordered but at least eight are expected.
The Amy Sherman-Palladino series is expected to go back into production in October and new episodes should start airing in early 2013.
What do you think? Are you glad to hear that Bunheads will be back? Would you have preferred a full second season order instead?

I really enjoy all the story lines and all the characters. The cast is interesting and all the actors are wonderful. I hope the show continues. There is so much TV out there and this can be watched by us all. My daughter says that I am a feminist, whatever. I love the characters and want to see how life unfolds for them.
Pleazzzzz do not cancel Bunheads! There are very few shows left on anymore worth watching.
I am very disappointed that ABC Family would cancel Bunheads and Lying Game while starting 3 more shows. The Fosters is horrible. What can’t you keep the current shows for longer than season. I love Bunheads. It was a show that actually made me laugh the whole time. Please bring Bunheads and Lying Game back!! There are very few shows for me to watch anymore.
