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 so glad Parenthood is coming back! It’s a terrific show and me and my family look forward to it every week. It’s such a great departure from the other shows and actually gives us stuff we can relate to and get involved in!
We are so glad to hear it is coming back. Most families can relate to this show. We look forward to it every week.
I love this show! Glad to see it return!
I love Parenthood and I was afraid it had been cancelled because every time they show something for the family and with feel good ability……they blow it and cancel it. I’ll be glad when the reality craze is over.
Awesome show! Only one I watch on a regular basis…I thought it would be cancelled since it is so good, the quality usually gets past the media, but at least this time that did not happen! Every character GREAT! Story is always something I can relate to, best cast ever!!!!
So pleased that it is not being canceled. It is the only family show I watch and I would greatly hate it if it was never renewed. Thanks for bringing it back next Jan. I wish it was sooner lol Ty all Pam
Please don’t cancel this show!!! I adore all of the characters and it is my favorite show and has been for years!!!
I haven’t seen a new episode of Parenthood in my DVR being recorded, so I was concerned that it might’ve been canceled. I AM SO GLAD, that’s not the case. I love that show, so when are the new episodes going to air??? Not until January? That’s a whole year off the air! Really?
I am so glad Parenthood is returning. It is a show that makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Also, leaves me jealous that I only had one sibling. Nice to see how a large-extended family can go through trials and tributes. Thanks NBC!
Awesome show! Only one I watch on a regular basis…I thought it would be cancelled since it is so good, the quality usually gets past the media, but at least this time that did not happen! Every character GREAT! Story is always something I can relate to, best cast ever!!!! Almost too good for TV, but hey, that’s ok by me!!! 22 episodes!!!
Best show on TV, my daughter recommended that I watch it & now I am hooked. I am so thankful it has been renewed for a fourth season. I cannot wait to continue watching this awesome family show!
When will the new season begin? I miss watching.
I watch Parenthood on AFN (Armed Forces Network) while stationed in Germany and I am so glad that I started watching it!! It is an absolute delight! I don’t know what season I’m in, but it doesn’t matter ’cause I plan to keep on enjoying it!!
Love love love the show!!! Makes me happy when I watch it!
This is one of the few shows that I never miss -the writing is exquisite- and the cast is talented beyond words-I have grown to love each character because these actors feel their parts…here’s an idea-look at a previous successful series like this and bring in an actor from that series into this one…. want a suggestion-Sela Ward…have her be one of the Braverman in-laws…hmmm…
Super stoked
