What’s This TV Show About?
A Freeform family drama, The Fosters stars Teri Polo, Sherri Saum, Hayden Byerly, Noah Centineo, David Lambert, Maia Mitchell, and Cierra Ramirez.

The fifth season of The Fosters averaged a 0.25 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 619,000 viewers. Compared to season four, that’s down by 27% and down by 23%, respectively. Learn how The Fosters stacks up against the other Freeform TV shows.
On January 3, 2018, Freeform ordered a spin-off and announced The Fosters ends with a three night event. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Though the ratings are still positive, I wouldn’t be surprised if this TV series ends with season five, and that nice 100 episode sized syndication package. Remember what happened with Switched at Birth. Although its fourth season received higher ratings than season four of The Fosters, eventually, Freeform announced that family drama would end with season five. I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens, so subscribe for free updates on The Fosters cancellation and renewal news.
1/3 update: As expected, Freeform has announced The Fosters will end with season five and a special summer “series event.” The cable network also ordered a spin-off. Details here.

The Fosters is a great show and it would be really great for a season 6 to be released.

I connect with every character on this show and I would much, much rather this show get a season 6. I wouldnt watch the spin off, honestly. I think this show gives it’s viewers so much more than just a deep plot. I fully believe this show deserves a season 6.
Hi love the Foster shows it is my favorite thing to watch and I don’t think it is far for them to not be making season 6 and so on but they might eventually but even if they don’t I will always love the fosters and the foster family

I agree with EVERYTHING you have typed! “THE FOSTERS is WAY BETTER and a lot more INTERESTING and REALISTIC to everyday living with ups and downs.”

The Foster series was addictive on Netflix. Please give them a second chance ! I have told several people about the series and they have started watching it on Netflix. It was such a whole hearted show that portrayed many events in so many lives.
