What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television network, the Mom TV series stars Allison Janney, Mimi Kennedy, Jaime Pressly, Beth Hall, William Fichtner, and Kristen Johnston. Recovering addict Bonnie (Janney) must learn to adjust to life without her daughter and former-roommate, Christy (Anna Faris), around. With a chaotic past behind her and a newly empty nest, Bonnie focuses on her marriage to her husband, Adam (Fichtner), and on what she wants to be now that she’s finally grown up. Now more than ever, Bonnie depends on the support of her friends, including wise Marjorie (Kennedy), wealthy and sometimes misguided Jill (Pressly), overly emotional Wendy (Hall), and her foster sister, Tammy (Johnston), who was recently released from prison. Through it all, these women help each other overcome their mistakes and stay sober in the face of whatever life throws their way.
Season Eight Ratings

Mom has ended, so there will not be a ninth season. Could it be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will CBS cancel or renew Mom for season nine? This is the first season without Anna Faris. While the cast remains very capable, it’s unclear how the show will do without one of its two main characters. I suspect that the show will be renewed but, I could see Janney and company deciding to call it a day, too. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the Mom TV show would be renewed for a ninth season? Are you sorry that this CBS series is ending?
Mom should be renewed it’s the best show ever!!! It’s the only show i’ve been watching. I’m so disappointed that they canceled Mom. Please renew the show it’s one one the best on TV worth watching.
I love the show and love it even more now that the daughter is gone. All her whining was getting on my nerves. I hope it stays around for a long time.
Unless they can get back Faris, I don’t think Mom should have a 9th season. The 8th has been extremely disappointing thus far. The magic is no longer there.
Cancel! Please
