As fans have been suspecting for quite awhile, the Mike & Molly TV show is being cancelled. There won’t be a seventh season but the sixth season of 13 episodes has been scheduled to start airing on January 6th on CBS.
Co-star Rondi Reed shared the details of the cancellation in a Facebook post:
Before you hear it elsewhere (and some already have) this is the Final and 6th Season of MIKE & MOLLY on CBS. It is also a shortened season (13 episodes) after the announced full renewal of 22 episodes back in March by the network.
We are done taping as of January 27th 2016 and I am not sure exactly when/if the episodes will all be aired. The network has it’s reasons, and I will not get into a debate, discussion, or campaign to get them to change their minds.
Other venues were explored by WB and Bonanza Productions (Chuck Lorre) after CBS announced their intentions, but did not turn up a future for our show. It is a fact and we have known for a few weeks.
I remain extremely grateful to have been a part of this and to have worked with a fabulous bunch of folks over the years. I have learned a lot about many things, including the Business we call Show.
Also grateful for all the fans and for the personal support I have received over the (almost) 6 seasons. Stewart Talent has guided me every step of the way on this journey and for that I am also forever grateful.
What do you think? Do you think that Mike & Molly should be cancelled? Would you have watched a seventh season on another channel?
I would have watched it as long as it was on! Really sad it’s done!
