What’s This TV Show About?

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.

I can’t believe it’s not canceled yet. Freeform would get better ratings with reruns of Charles In Charge
Yes I love this show to its so good
Really love this show my 14 year old daughter and I watch it religiously! Even binge watch on Netflix! We adore the love and family dynamics of the show! We hope it doesn’t get cancelled!
I’m in love with this show. Please don’t cancel. RENEW !!!!!!!!!!!!
The Fosters it’s a great show. I can’t believe they ended it after the 9th episode on season 5. It’s not like an ending they just left us hanging and we don’t know what’s going to happen next.
Now to leave us in suspense is not fair, please renew the Fosters, anxiously awaiting Season 6 or at least the rest of 5
Please renew, I really enjoy this show.
this is my favorite show and i would be very upset if it did not continue. i have been going through a lot lately so i feel like it can help me feel less alone and i can relate to it.
