Sounds like there’s some trouble over at the Braverman house. Deadline reports that the show may be cancelled over salary and cost-cutting measures.
Airing on NBC since 2010, Parenthood revolves around the lives of the extended Braverman family in Northern California. The ensemble cast includes Lauren Graham, Dax Shepard, Tyree Brown, Joy Bryant, Max Burkholder, Erika Christensen, Miles Heizer, Sam Jaeger, Monica Potter, Savannah Paige Rae, Xolo Mariduena, Mae Whitman, with Bonnie Bedelia and Craig T. Nelson.
Word is that NBC wants to renew the show for a final season of 13 episodes. To cut costs, the network/studio has asked the large cast to reduce their episode guarantee from 13 to nine episodes. That would mean that they’d potentially only appear in and be paid for nine installments.
Reportedly, they don’t want to do that and the cast and studio are at an impasse. If a deal isn’t reached today, the episode that aired on April 17th may be Parenthood’s defacto series finale.
What do you think? Are you hoping that Parenthood returns for one final season? Would you be okay with everyone not appearing in every episode?
Please renew. Loyal fans such as I will be very disappointed.
Please leave it on! I love it!
Idiots ^ Best show on TV!
If NBC cancels parenthood, they are idio and I will not watch that network anymore period! It’s such a good show with people most can relate to. Sad, that they are that money hungry!!!!!!
There are so many crap shows that take up good TV time– cut them and leave parenthood
I just wanted to say LEAVE PARENTHOOD ON! When shows that r good r canceled they always end up putting some srupid show on and that is even more annoying than having nothing to watch cuz one of ur favorite shows was cut. So let the show come back for another season…. PLEASE!
That doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Every season there have been multiple episodes where several of the cast did not appear. This article seems to imply they were paid for all episodes whether they were in them or not. If that is the case, they should be willing to compromise in some way, since getting paid for a few episodes is better than not getting paid at all.
I want Parenthood back, the whole cast, the whole season…this is one of the best, if not the best show on TV. Reality shows are okay but we need great shows like Parenthood!!
renew and don’t cut pay!!
NBC your crazy….Cut cost elsewhere….Get rid of a reality show or something but not Parenthood.
I agree with everything my sister poppy said earlier……. 🙂
I love Parenthood, please,please renew it. It has such
Heartwarming stories. I love everyone, I never fast forward it. It makes me cry almost everytime I watch it but they are omg tears. Just touching, I will be so dissappointed if it is cancelled.
C’mon NBC. Parenthood is widely popular. Give the loyal viewers another season. Go with the known winner. Please don’t disappoint us. It’s Mothers Day!
Oh no!!! I love Parenthood! It is an awesome show. Please give us one more year!
This show is my favorite show ever. I really hope that you work this out. This show is one show I look forward to. Family means most. Please reconsider.
