It looks like the party is over. Deadline reports Freeform has cancelled their Party of Five reboot after only one season.
The drama series revolves around the five Acosta children — aspiring musician Emilio (Brandon Larracuente), twins Lucia (Emily Tosta) and Beto (Niko Guardado), precocious Valentina (Elle Paris Legaspi), and infant Rafael.
The first season of Party of Five averages a 0.11 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 252,000 viewers, making it one of Freeform‘s lowest-rated series for the 2019-20 season.
What do you think? Have you seen Party of Five? Would you have watched a second season?
The concept sounded great, but I was driven away specifically because they took a great show with a good concept, inserted a completely unrelated cast (usually switching to a minority or ethnically ambiguous ppl), a different concept and NOT a new name! Kind of over this Hollywood template. People are over it! It’s a deterrent to those who liked the original (as evidenced by the rebuke from original Charmed fans). Shows featuring minorities don’t need to borrow the name from a show that starred non-minorities to be successful. Give this good concept an original name and feel free to say… Read more »
Stupid stupid stupid. I wish I would have read this before I watched and cried my eyes out. Stupid call not to renew it. Best show I have watched. Talked about real things going on. I will never watch another freeform show again.
I like it tbh ♀️ I figure season2 would have given it time to grow and we could find out more about the family. BUT they did leave it at a stopping point (whether they meant to or not) when Val & Rafa stayed with their parents, parents willing to work it out, Emilio being able to follow his dreams after all AND with a girls he might stick with, Lucia set on a path to find her way & Beto basically deciding to spend his life with Ella. I mean….. what more really is there to add to the… Read more »
I really liked Party of Five and am really disappointed that it has been cancelled.
Good, series should have never gotten a first season. Stop coming to America and ******** over our Economy and actually stay in our own nation and fix the issues in it.
Yes I love this show it shouldn’t be canceled…..
Hey, guys! Look what I’ve found.

Everybody sign up, please.
Another network or one of the streaming services should pick Party of Five up for a second season for next year.
Why has Good Trouble been renewed when Party of Five was getting better ratings? Loved this show.
HOW IS THIS A SURPRISE, this show was not only terrible, but ill conceived…the original dealt with a family of kids who LOST their parents, these kids only needed to go to their parents country of origin to be reunited again, and even start the citienship process to be together in the U.S. …NOTHING COMPLICATED AND NO “HARDSHIPS” to really speak of, far less “struggle ” than losing one’s parents to death…STUPID , GLAD THIS GARBAGE REBOOT IS CANCELLED.
This show is not garbage, it’s practically showing everyone what happening I’m this sick world. Immigration separating families.
It’s called Illegal Immigration.
The parents were illegal immigrants, but they were also small business owners and respected members of their community. Four of the five children were born in the US and were therefore citizens; the oldest had DACA status.
If the entire family moved to Mexico, it would mean abandoning the business they had built for 20 years. It might also preclude any possibility of the oldest son returning to the US.
Immigration is not a black and white issue. The show handled the issues well, and I am disappointed that it will not return.
I definitely loved this show. It’s a shame they aren’t bringing it back for a second one. The story was great and kept you on your toes, as well discussed real life political issues that this country needs to deal with. I love all of FREEFORMS shows, should definitely brought it back. Especially how it ended, definitely could of lasted 2 seasons.
I liked it and would have watched 2nd season. I guess I will now have to take it back out of my series to record.
Shame – it was their best and the only currently airing show on their line up which I watched.
Most definitely would watch a second season. Free form, please reconsider.
I really liked this show. I liked the take on Immigration issues that we face today. They always take the good shows off.
I find it hilarious they have been doing mass deportations since the 80’s…. You all just care when you got an administration you are told not to like…. Sigh…. Ironic when we had the mass influx of kids over 7 years ago…. NOBODY CARED….. SIgh……
Why do people think that being deported is somehow a new thing? It happens in every country.The ironic thing is that Mexico has very strict immigration laws and policies for non citizens. They even received 75million from the U.S to have a barrier built to keep our illegals from Guatemala and Elsalvador . I think in 2014? When these who was president? And then people cry because they get caught by ICE. Did they think that they could hide forever? I have compassion for people, but we are to obey the laws of the land. Do it legal like everyone… Read more »
Absolutely KCat. Every other Country in the world has strict immigration laws, but somehow the USA is not supposed to. Clown world.
