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.

Council of Dads has been cancelled, so there will not be a second season. Could this series be revived someday?
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.

Council of Dads is the best tv program with so much love, compassion, reality of todays unrest world..
I laugh alot and cry alot. Ive lost a brother and Dad and i need this show..it fills me up with hope
We need more shows like this one. It is a great all around show, and needs to be renewed.
I have watched 7 episodes of Council of Dad’s – each episode gets better and better. Sure hope this series is renewed for a second season.
Council of Dad’s is a great story to follow and loose yourself into the characters. Hope it gets renewed
Please keep this show. There is nothing else like this story line. The characters have a lot to tell us!
Keep the show on please… I want to see the characters develop. I especially like that this show is based on inspired events (author of story whom died of cancer and engaged specific friends to service as council to his children etc.). This is a rare and touncing story of family, friendship — and to the nay sayers doubting that a young child can identify themselves etc.. children demonstrate in various ways their intelligence and self identity in addition to the rapid changes and hilarious imaginative romps etc. And yes, there are incredibly perceptive and gifted children (always has been… Read more »
Please reconsider cancelling this timely well written and poignant show. I already count it as my families favorite (behind This IsUs). The show is in a charming setting the low country of South Carolina. The actors are superb and I’m excited about being part of the male roles growing into their new roles. This is just another hit for Jerry Bruckheimer.
I love this show. I wasn’t sure how it would be accepted. How many negative things would be said about JJ or a gay black couple. I would hope that most of us have come to understand that families have changed. A mother, father and 2 kids is not the norm anymore. For the Christians who are in an uproar over JJ, this is something you must come to understand and accept because this is 2020. Being different is not hurting you or affecting your life. Be open, learn about things you don’t understand. I hope this is renewed for… Read more »
I find it disturbing that they think as child as young as the girl/boy on the show is anywhere near old enough to make a decision like that. The show is way to similar to a Million Little Things. It appears that there are no Straight shows on tv any longer. Very disturbing especially for Christians try to find something to watch.
i know several children that age who have made a decision to switch genders that young and it’s not disturbing at all and not all christians are transphobes.
Love Council of Dads. Give it a chance to develop.
I have really enjoyed the show so far. Each program has been a bit better than the previous one. That’s a good sign for future investment in the characters and writing. The first season was way too short to give the audience time to buy in. More, please!
I hope it is renewed. This type of story shows what true friendship means…
no fair weather friends here.
We watched it,although sad,it also had happy times.It was good for a change to see men doing what their great friend asked!
