Things were a little touch and go for awhile but NBC has now renewed Parenthood for a sixth season. It will be the last season and the cast and crew will have 13 episodes to say goodbye.
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.
The series has never been a ratings hit for NBC but it has remained a pretty consistent performer with a devoted fanbase. This season, the ratings took a pretty dramatic downturn, dropping 20-30% compared to the fourth season. Shows like Revolution, Growing Up Fisher, and Believe all had better ratings but they were cancelled.
The network wanted to cut costs so they could bring the large ensemble series back for a final season but members of the cast reportedly didn’t want to agree to a smaller-than-usual episode guarantee. A compromise was eventually made.
We should have a better idea this week when season six will begin airing.
What do you think? Are you glad that Parenthood has been renewed for a final season? Would you like to see a seventh season or do you think this is the right time to end it?

I think Parenthood is one of the best shows ever!!! I am greatly saddened to hear it had been cancelled . I sincerely hope you reconsider…
This has been one of my fave shows of all time. What a cast! I truly wish it could’ve gone on for several more seasons. Sad it ended after only 6.
I would really love for there to be a season 7 of parenthood. The ending to season 6 was great but now we have to see the lives of the rest of the family continue. It makes me sad to see there is no season 7.
I absolutely loved Parenthood. I found myself picking sides during family arguments, smiling and cheering when good things happened and crying like a baby when the going got rough…especially on the last episode. It was so well written and intriguingand the cast was phenomenal. It touched base on a lot of highs and lows and everyday struggles and triumphs that families go through. So sad not to have this to turn to anymore. If anyone was to pick this up i would be one of many who would tune in every week.
Please bring back this series i love it so much got into it on netlfix and i would pay to see this back on air! Bring it back
I just found Parenthood on Netflix and absolutely love it. It is an amazing cast and it covers everything that happens in real life. Please bring it back.
For me is the best show on tv. I love it. It shoul have more seasons…
I just found Parenthood on Netflix and I have to say I am forever a changed woman. The program is by far the best example of writing, acting and direction on tv…EVER! If season 7 hasn’t been completely chopped, I want to weigh in on how much I would appreciate another season. Thanks!
I absolutely woul love it if the show would continue!!!
Found the show on Netflic. Watched all episodes available want to see 6
Love the show. Want it to continue!
I think it should not ended because there alot of people out there with an autism child and with this show you see the struggles that people face in everyday life with an autism child and people can learn and not think it is easy and teach there children how not to bully other kids.
ReNew for 7th season love this show shows a REAL familfamily
Parenthood MUST be renewed for a 7th season i loe it as do many others PLEASE!!!!!!
Loved this show – although at times when they all talked over each other got a little annoying, but in general was just good easy watching television. Loved the last episode. Will certainly be looking forward to the next season.
Parenthood is one of the cheesiest shows I’ve ever seen. I don’t find it realistic at all and it turns every soap TV trick in the book to manipulate it’s audience into crying. Can’t say I’ll miss it.
