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?
Sooooo happy to hear Parenthood is coming back!! I absolutely love this show and hope that it never ever gets cancelled. It’s real family drama and boy can I relate.
I was not thrilled when I heard that it might have been canceled. It’s a great program! Thanks for renewing!

Love the show. So glad it will be back. It is well written and acted. Nice to have a series that is about believable people. It should run for several seasons!!!!!!
This is my favorite show because it is about real life situations in a dramatic, comedy way. The stars are great. We need more shows like this.

so happy to hear it will be renewed, I can relate on so many levels, being married, having 5 children ( my son is autistic) 2 grandchildren, I laugh and cry at every show.
Love, love, love it! Keep it coming!
You bet I am thrilled Parenthood is renewed. Everytime I here the theme song “Forever Yopung” by Bob Dylan, I am right there with the Bravermans. The are, by far my favorite TV family. The are as close to “real” as Television can get. The complete cast is amazing. Please, let’s even starting talking about season 5.
Cheers and Congrats to all who are part of the show.
