Beth, Ruby, and Annie won’t be back for the 2021-22 season. NBC has cancelled the Good Girls series so there won’t be a fifth year of the low-rated show.
A drama series, Good Girls stars Christina Hendricks, Retta, Mae Whitman, Reno Wilson, Manny Montana, Lidya Jewett, Isaiah Stannard, and Matthew Lillard. The TV series centers on three suburban moms who’ve struggled to get by. They hold up the local Fine & Frugal supermarket, but their take far exceeds their expectations and they find themselves in deep trouble with the local crime boss. In season four, the stakes get higher as the Secret Service closes in on the women’s counterfeit ring. When we last saw Beth, she was struggling to carve out her own criminal path separate from Rio, using her husband’s spa company, Boland Bubbles, as a front. Ruby seemed to have salvaged her marriage after a rocky road, but only time will tell if her hidden secrets implode. Annie is focusing on inner love and healing as she takes the journey to rebuild independence.
Airing on primarily on Sunday nights, the fourth season of Good Girls averages a 0.34 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.47 million viewers in the live+same day ratings. Compared to season three, that’s down by 20% in the demo and down by 20% in viewership (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
Season four resumed last night, after a month’s break, with a pair of episodes. There are five installments remaining and a two-hour finale is expected to air on July 22nd.
There had been some discussion about moving Good Girls to a streaming service but it apparently didn’t work financially.
What do you think? Do you enjoy the Good Girls TV show? Are you sorry to hear that this NBC series won’t be back for a fifth season?
They can easily replace Rio. If he’s the reason it was canceled.
I hate when shows just goes and disrespect their viewers, and not give a proper ending.
I love Good Girls. Watched every episode. Please bring it back.
I definitely want to see a 5th season.
Have you gone off the deep end? I love this show. Please bring it back. I look forward to this evert week, smarten up

WoW; You mean just because I was one of many that DVR’d Good Girls, that don’t count as watching it for rating’s, Well that truly suck’s lollipops; I was So looking forward to a fifth season of Good Girls, just got to catch up on the two ending show’s, and I seen many a different potential way’s for this show to continue on a few more year’s. Very sad about this. Somebody please pick it up, if NBC don’t.
Love that show! I’m so disappointed!!
I love this show. Dont cancel Good Girls
i love it !!!! i was watching every episode and waiting for a new season all the time ! don’t cancel it !
I really like Goodgirls. I guess it wasn’t really going anywhere, though. Too bad.
I absolutely love this show and look forward to each and every episode and season. NBC is really canceling the wrong show. It’s extremely disappointing. The show reminds me of Desperate Housewife’s which was another excellent series. So it’s down 20% in viewers, maybe because it’s summer! Seriously the first 3 seasons are already on Netflix, they really need to keep it going somehow, somewhere!!!!
What do you mean? – Zoey’s extraordinary playlist has also been cancelled? I’m not one for musicals but this show won my heart. What other shows are there that entertain the way this show & “Good Girls” has? I cant believe that all the shows that I look forward to week after week and the next seasons are slowly being taken away. I am sad beyond belief. I just hope that some new shows with as much wit and charm will come along at some point so I can relax and escape for a bit & don’t have to turn… Read more »
I love “Good Girls”! I have not missed an episode since it started. I have anxiously awaited for every episode with excitement knowing that I would enjoy it as much as all the others. Its clever and keeps me entertained with the new ways the women come up with to continue to make it in the world with a man trying to control every move and take what they have worked so hard for. What a shame this show is cancelled. There are not too many shows that have such a great story line such as this one and keep… Read more »
I am a retired RN, age 69 going on 70 and eagerly awaits each episode. These are down to earth women trying to help themselves and their families live in these tumultuous times of 2021. I watched the first seasons on my Roku Stick through Netflix and was able to identify with all three women. Let’s keep it going. WATCHING THE SERIES HAS BEEN ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF MY WEEK. I can identify with them all. What did they do or plan to do with all that money???????????
