The saga of Single Parents won’t continue. ABC just revealed they’ve cancelled the comedy series so it won’t be back for the 2020-21 season.
The Single Parents sitcom centers on Will Cooper (Taran Killam), a single father in his 30s, who is sorely in need of a life apart from raising his daughter, Sophie (Marlow Barkley). When the other parents around him realize how far out of touch he is with his own identity, they team up to help him come into his own. The cast also includes Leighton Meester, Kimrie Lewis, Jake Choi, Tyler Wladis, Devin Trey Campbell, Mia Allan, Ella Allan, and Brad Garrett.
Season two of Single Parents averaged a 0.60 rating in the 18-49 demo and 2.57 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s a 32% drop in the ratings and a 24% drop in viewership for the ABC sitcom. Compared to other scripted ABC TV series, Single Parents was a middle-of-the-road performer.
Both Single Parents and Bless This Mess are produced by 20th Century Fox Television (now owned by ABC parent company, Disney) and executive produced by Liz Meriwether (New Girl). Neither series was picked up for 2020-21 by ABC.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Single Parents TV show? Would you have watched season three on ABC?
What is with all good comedies being cancelled? Have Americans lost their sense of humour?
Loved this show 🙁
A good show, apart from one very annoying child character but it had essentially told it’s story to a satisfying conclusion.
This is really a bummer. Looked forward to this show every week. Just a fun cast and the kids were really talented.
I am sad and angry, s ngry I guess. This was one of their better comedies and I will miss it. They should rethink this idea. Who cares about supermarket sweeps. I hope they pay attention to comments.
I am sad and angry. This was one of their better shows. They need to reconsider, and quickly.
F U ABC
Me and my wife really enjoyed this show. Such a shame, especially ending on the cliff hanger of Angie realizing she loves Will. Was really looking forward to season 3.
I am pissed that this show is getting cancelled. It is well written and very funny please bring it back for a 3rd season
Shame enjoyed this – only ABC comedy I watched. And with that crappy finale.
This is a cute show with a lot of potential. Very sad that it won’t be back.
I am so sad. This show is hilarious.
Yes – I definitely would have watched a season 3. I loved this show. I hate when they leave a show hanging on a storyline.
So upsetting I loved this show so much!!! My fiancé & I used to watch this all the time so upsetting I wish there was a way I could help it come back!!! Best half an hour show EVER!!!!!
Yes! I loved this show. The parents and the kids were both so adorable and funny. I’m so disappointed.
I totally agree with u guys!!
