Although, last season, its demo numbers were similar to those that saw Last Man Standing cancelled, and it drew a similar total number of viewers to cancelled ABC sitcoms Dr Ken and Downward Dog, the Fresh Off the Boat TV show managed to land a fourth season renewal from the Alphabet Network. There are already 60 episodes in the can, so after this installment, it will have a decent sized syndication package. Could this be the end for the Huang family? Will Fresh Off the Boat be cancelled or renewed for season five? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An ABC comedy, 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). Now that they’ve been there for a few years, the Huangs have acclimated themselves to Orlando living. Still, they kick off the fourth season boarding with Honey (Crisp) and Marvin (Wise), as they continue to pursue the American Dream.
