What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the NBC television network, 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. Scott Perry (Scott) is a loving father of five who 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.

Telly’s Take
Will NBC cancel or renew Council of Dads for season two? NBC clearly would like this series to become the new This Is Us but those are big shoes to fill. The premiere didn’t do very well and the second episode did much worse but, we’ll have to wait and see. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the Council of Dads TV show would be renewed for a second season? Are you sorry that NBC cancelled this TV series, instead?
This show was so good. It teaches you more about life relationships. It should be cancelled because all the stars on it gave it wonderful personality & they were all great actors. There are hardly no shows about family & this one portrayed it well. Iwas so much looking forward for the second season. I definitely kniw that you made a terrible mistakes on cancelling this great show!
Council of Dads was a great show. You could have had a final episode. Just to leave us hanging is terrible. Finish the show with a proper ending. The viewers as well as actors and actresses certainly deserve that much…
I’m so unhappy this show is gone. This was one of the few to watch with the entire family. Very disappointed
I cannot believe nbc canceled council of dads and kept zoeys playlist what are they thinking. The cast was amazing the show was so well written but that is par for the course with these networks! They keep the shows that are mediocre at best and the shows that entertain along with touching peoples lives they just brush under the rug and never give them a chance! Then they wonder why everyone is canceling their cable subscriptions! I pray that Netflix picks up this show because it is a great show! Shame on these network!
Counsel of Dads was filmed in the city I grew up in. I was really involved with the show then I was informed it was cancelled. I think another network should seriously consider picking it back up. NBC said the ratings were poor. I don’t believe that for a second. It was a very good series. Please bring it back.
Best new show on TV, is it being picked up by another network?
Council of Dads was a GREAT show and should NOT have been cancelled. Bad enough yo took off The Village, now this??? What for more stupid Sitcoms or Sci Fi ****??
Council of Dads should not have been canceled!! Give these shows more time!
