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.

All are welcome, and that’s why I look forward to this show. Please look at the following online and Hulu. If I could afford cable also, I would.
Please, please renew Council Of Dads as it is an excellent series! I have it set on my DVR to record all the episodes just so I won’t miss them! The storylines are very well written with an exceptional cast who makes each episode so believable! Council Of Dads is a Down to Earth and believable series! I give it 10 stars!
Do Not cancel Council of Dads. I love the show.
This is a great show. I look forward each week to watch and since I learned it is based on a real life experience, I would love to see this show continue.
Renew it!!!
Council of Dads is a wonderful program. It has given me avenues to open discussions with my grandchildren regarding death and what happens to families when someone that is very much involved in the day to day family dynamic has passed away. I would love to see this show continue.
Love this show. Better than This is Us. Please don’t cancel. Give it a chance.
