What’s this TV show about?

A family sitcom airing on the ABC television network, Fresh Off the Boat stars Hudson Yang, Randall Park, Constance Wu, Forrest Wheeler, Ian Chen, Lucille Soong, Chesley Crisp, and Ray Wise. Set in the 1990s, the sitcom centers on Eddie Huang (Yang), his parents Louis and Jessica (Park and Wu), brothers Emery (Wheeler) and Evan (Chen), and grandmother Jenny (Soong).

Telly’s Take

By the end of this season, Fresh Off the Boat will have decent sized syndication package, which makes it easier to cancel. Then again, new sitcoms are difficult to launch and the ratings have been pretty consistent with last season’s. My gut feeling tells me that there’s a fifth season renewal in this show’s future.
