It’s all over but the shouting for Maggie and Emma. USA Network has cancelled its Playing House TV show after three seasons. The comedy starred Lennon Parham as Maggie Caruso and Jessica St. Clair as Emma Crawford. After Maggie’s marriage ends, Emma helps her lifelong best friend raise her daughter, Charlotte, back in their hometown of Pinebrook, Connecticut.
St. Clair tweeted a video with her and Parham announcing the end of Playing House on USA Network. Check it out.

Deadline reports:
“USA Network and Universal Cable Productions want to thank Jessica, Lennon and the entire cast and crew of Playing House for being amazing partners for three incredible, hilarious seasons,” the network and studio said in a statement. It was an honor and privilege to be part of this best friendship. Once a Jammer, always a Jammer.”
What do you think? Did you watch the Playing House TV series? Is it ending at the right time, or did you want more? Should USA have cancelled or renewed Playing House for a fourth season? Sound off, in the comments.
Never have I ever seen a show so true to life and even when most outrageous, it’s totally & entirely believable…and yet still so hilariously fun & funny all the while! These ladies are Superwomen of tremendous talents (TOTES!!) as both writers & cast members “Playing House”. There are a bajillion reasons why these two sassy minxes should have never been nixed!!! Totes Jammers!!!
Love this show! Perfect balance of sass and sweetness. I watch it when I need a spunky pick-me-up.
Really hoping they’ll reconsider doing a 4th season
Love playing house! Best show! Do not cancel!!!!
hate that it’s getting cancelled… I️ love the show and I️ love their friendship!!! Please don’t cancel or find a new home for the show!
I can’t believe they changed their minds. I LOVE this show and will miss it terribly. I just hope season 2 and 3 come out on DVD.
