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.

Why would you cancel council of dads it is only great show on tv it’s a lot better then the game shows please reconsider and renew it .thanks
I really like this show and was looking forward to a season 2. This show brought ne to NBC, where I otherwise did not watch many shows on NBC. I really hope the network reconsiders.
Please reconsider and give this show a second season. Every year NBC has cancelled shows after one season. I will not be watching any new shows on NBC. They just get cancelled anyway.
This is a great show. Why would you take it off the air?? Please try another season.
This was a great show and I’m sad to hear it has been canceled.. we need more shows like this.. please bring it back
I’m totally sad that Council of Dad’s is cancelled. I love it and all the
Actors their amazing. It is a great story and so much more can be told.
Please give it another chance and advertise more. There isn’t much on tv
that is good, please don’t take a great show away. Please bring it back!!
This is a horrible decision. I found a show that I love. I turned my mom on to it also and she loves it as well. It has great acting and story lines. I wish NBC would reconsider. All the great shows are always canceled. Its truly sad.
Please don’t cancel Counsil of Dads. Wonderful show. Please another network pick it up for another season. Give it a chance.
Please bring back this show. It is so good. Loved watching every minute of season 1.
So disappointed that this is being cancelled. Just found it and binged the first 9 episodes. Anxious for the season finale on Thursday and now to find it’s being cancelled. Boo.
Just found out about this show and it is excellent. Why do all the good shows get cancelled. You should NOT take it off the air
Thought provoking, well scripted show, but initiated on the wrong viewing night for a “freshman” show. Went up against established, successful shows, that had attained their viewership, making it difficult for it to find a solid audience. Needed to have picked another night without the seasoned support already in place. Quickly noticed the lack of advertisers required for a shows success, and never saw that continue to develop. NBC needed to pick a night without the competition that “Counsel of Dad’s” faced on a Thursday night, as the show offered great potential. The initial premier night moved too quickly for… Read more »
Finally a great storyline and we loved following it every week. PLEASE PLEASE reconsider this cancellation.
I love, love this show please do not cancel.
I LOVE this show and hope Council of Dads is renewed for a Season 2. Diverse characters and a storyline that has heart make for a very enjoyable hour of TV that ends too quickly!
Please DON’T CANCEL…..it deserves another season!!!
