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?
THE STORIES SHOULD GO ON, IT’S LIFE……
I absolutely LOVE this show. It really emphasizes on how important family is and shows that all families have their problems. I would really hate to see this show cancelled and think that they should reconsider. Possibly putting it in a not so competive time slot?
I love this show lets keep it going please…..
Love this show want it to keep going and going…
Psrenthood is one of the best famoly dramas on tv. It saddens me greatly that this will be the final season. Please di not put another reality show on in its place. We need adult dramas like parenthood and nashville to fill a huge voud in programming.
Finally a show worth watching and they are canceling it.
I would love this show to go on like the simpson’s, years and years
I’m hoping it’s on forever! One of my favorite programs.
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW!
So sad to hear of this show ending. Parenthood is such a great show. My husband and I are devoted watchers!! We LOVE this show. I wish the network would reconsider.
My wife and I love Parenthood. You can really relate to the characters and you almost feel like you are part of the family. We really look forward to each episode to see what the families are dealing with now. Please reconsider. We would hate to see the show cancelled.
I am devastated that this show will end. I love the Bravermens. The close family ties, even though they live completely separate and different lives is a testament to the true love if family. The acting in this show us superb….
Really, you’re going to cancel now… Especially since Hank and Sarah are hooking up! I hope it’s a good ending for those two, don’t disappointed!
Really.? The last season.. This show is one of the best series on television. Real and relevant, kind of a current day Walton’s! Please reconsider and keep this show!
Love Parenthood, watched from the very first season!! This show was all about reality without being another boring & stupid “Reality” show. Why NBC has decided to cancel is crazy. I will miss this hour.
Love the show. I’ve watched it from the beginning. I’m a fan of Lauren Graham. Read her book & used to watch her on “Gilmore Girls”! I really don’t want to see Parenthood end. It’s such a good show.
