After the success of NBC’s This Is Us, the peacock seems to hoping that the new Council of Dads series will also be a hit in the ratings. Does this family drama have what it takes to survive? Will Council of Dads be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
Based on the book by Bruce Feiler, the Council of Dads TV show stars Sarah Wayne Callies, Clive Standen, J. August Richards, Blue Chapman, Emjay Anthony, Michele Weaver, Thalia Tran, Steven Silver, Michael O’Neill, and Tom Everett Scott. A loving father of five, Scott Perry (Scott) has his entire life’s plan thrown into upheaval by an unexpected health scare. He and his wife, Robin (Callies), call on a few of their most trusted friends to step in as back-up dads to help guide and support his growing family – just in case he can’t be there to do it himself. They include Scott’s most loyal friend, Anthony Lavelle (Standen); Scott’s tough-love AA sponsee, Larry Mills (O’Neill); and Doctor Oliver Post (Richards), Scott’s dedicated oncologist and his wife’s dearest friend. Scott’s kids include adult daughter Luly (Weaver), son Theo (Anthony), son JJ (Chapman), and adopted daughter Charlotte (Tran). Together, this group discovers that there’s more to being a father than anyone could do alone — and more to being a family than they ever thought possible.

*6/26/20 update: Council of Dads has been cancelled by NBC so there won’t be a second season.
Great great show!! Can’t believe its cancelled((((
Please, please, please….. Bring this wonderful show back. There are other shows on tv that I KNOW are worse than this one… I’m not the only one that loves this show.
So very sad that Council of Dads has been canceled. It is an excellent reflection of family life in this crazy world. You should give people a chance to find it and fall in love with it!
Once again, NBC cancelled a great show without giving it a chance. I am not a fan of reality shows and unfortunately all the networks are leaning that direction. I wish NBC would reconsider or even better have Netflix pick up the show where it left off. Shame on you for cancelling a show that addressed so many issues that the world is dealing with daily
Yes, bring us another season, no don’t put it on Netflix, I don’t have, I spend enough $ on cable.. too many shows r going to other channels, like crave, netflix, starz etc… just a $ grab… KEEP it on cable please. I believe we should get @ least 2 seasons out of these shows 🙂 Season one is just getting started on such a Great show. I Loved Council of DADS 🙂
Please reconsider renewing this show. It was one of my favorites!
I thoroughly enjoyed this show every week. I am very disappointed that it has been cancelled. There is so much garbage on tv and this was something worth watching.
I love this show why are they canceling this heart felt show so disappointed. They have crap on tv and this they cancel.
I finally found a show I enjoyed and it’s being canceled. It was a good family show. I refuse to watch shows with violence, but maybe that’s what people want.
I’m so disappointed that Council of Dads is being cancelled! This is a wholesome and heartwarming family show and one of the best that I have actually looked forward to watching each week in a long time! The Council is something we all need in a world like the one we live in today!! NBC will hopefully realize they messed up dearly with advertising for this diamond of a show! If not, I pray that a smarter network gets so lucky.
I’m so disappointed that Council of Dads is being cancelled it’s one of the best shows that I have watched in a long time.!!!! It was great too watch something that just wasn’t about sex,drugs and violence.
I am so disappointed that Council of dads is being cancelled. That’s crazy it is a great show. It is an awesome family show. You keep other shows that are stupid but you won’t keep a heartwarming show
A fabulous show. I hope NBC reconsiders or another network picks it up. Everyone that I told loves this show. Its a victim of not being advertised at all. Given a proper ad campaign this could be a boom to someone
I am very disappiubted to hear this series has been cancelled. After my recent loss of my husband to cancer, I very much related to this series. I looked forward to viewing each week. I am saddened by yet another loss.
This was an amazing show. It was not advertised enough. I watched the pilot and then tried to DVR it but the following showings were not available at that time. Then I was scrolling one day and saw the show was on. I realized I had missed about 8vepisodes that I watched on demand and then caught the rest on DVR. I think the lack of advertising the show contributed to low ratings. I sincerely hope the station reconsidered its decision to cancel this wonderful show.
