The Braverman family will be back next season. NBC has renewed Parenthood, their family drama, for a fourth season.
The move certainly comes as no surprise if you follow the ratings. While the show has been in danger of cancellation in the past, the state of NBC’s current schedule ensured that Parenthood would be renewed for another round of episodes.
It also certainly didn’t hurt that the show is produced by NBC-Universal and is coming close to having enough episodes for syndication.
According to TV Line, Parenthood has been renewed for a 15 episode season. If the ratings are strong enough, the order could certainly be increased to a full 22 episode season.
This season, Parenthood averaged a 1.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.13 million total viewers. On our NBC Ratings Report Card — which measures the demo success of shows on the network — Parenthood has a solid “A” grade. It’s the third-highest rated scripted show on the network this season.
We’ll know for sure if Parenthood will be returning next fall (very likely) and on what night.
What do you think? Are you glad to hear that it’s been renewed? Were you worried that it would be cancelled? How long do you think the series should run?
I’m thrilled that Parenthood is coming back. I don’t have much time to watch TV but I always made time or taped Parenthood. It’s such a great show and deals with real life issues.
I am very excited that parenthood has been renewed!! I think this shows real life situations.
I love that show. I miss it so much. It all makes sense. They seem to take all the good shows off the air and leave the crap on. This show is something families could watch with their kids. There certainly isn’t very much on that families can watch together. Leave this show on the air.
I am very excited to learn that the Bravermans and Co. will be back. Looking forward to it!!! Can’t wait to see what is to come!!!
Can’t wait for the show to come back. Does anyone know when it will be back?
Yea…I love the fact that the Braverman’s are not perfect. I deal with a son who is autistic and love to see a family portrayed as being real!!! Hope it continues for a long time-one of my favorite hours for “me” each week!
I love Parenthood. It is a great quality show, and seems to be “almost real” but not “too real”!!
LOVE THIS SHOW! Best show on t.v. Quality programs are getting harder and harder to find. THIS IS A QUALITY SHOW!!!
Love the show, so glad it will be back!!!!
it’s such a good show
Do hope the show comes back!
It is my favorite
Cast is excellent
One of the few shows about real life experiences!
Please bring it back!
I love this show, I’m glad it is coming back can’t wait. My husband even likes the show.
This is one of the best shows on tv!! So glad it is coming back for a 4th season!!
I am so happy to hear ‘Parenthood’ has been renewed!!!! Anymore there are few, if any, other TV shows I look forward to watching. I enjoy watching a show where a family learns how to process with real life issues and copes with the complexities of family relationships. If only more families were like the Bravermans, we could all learn how to agree, disagree, and work through our trials and tribulations.
Love the show, so glad they are leaving some funny family shows on. So much crap on TV. This is funny and serious and many times hits home!
