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?
Nooo… you can’t leave us hanging like this. Barstow should be a bust and Poppy and Douglas she be having a baby.
I just finished watching season 2, please renew the series!! I love it and it´s so sad knowing that you cancelled it 🙁
Do a finale right now i been waiting to see them getting together now you want to end it like that i need a finale
sooo sad!!!! and living the story unfinished! at least they can do a finale.
I am so disappointed I started watching Single Parents on hulu and it was a wonderful show, it was hilarious and some parts made me cry it was a good way to relate to some of the senerios they show… but I am so really mad and upset that there is no 3rd season they are really leaving the viewers hanging and wondering whats happening and thats just not cool and it would be nice if they put a 3rd season on hulu. Please please do a 3rd season and thank you
I watch Single Parents on Hulu. I Love this show and I’m so disappointed to find out just now that it got cancelled. I’ve been waiting months for it to come back on. This is and was a great show for those of us who want to see something sweet and innocent with awkwardness. I was so happy to find a show I can watch over and over and still be happy with it.
I was really looking forward to a season 3 this was one of my favorite show on tv
so sad!! i feel bad that i was late to the party. started watching it on hulu and LOVED it. was really disappointed to hear there was no season three. especially because of how they ended season two?! hoping it gets picked back up
Same! I started on Hulu too, and I love it! Great show when you want something light. Wish they would bring it back for Hulu or Netflix!!
Good riddance
It was a Great, Funny 30 minute show.
Very disappointed to hear that Single Parents has been cancelled. A funny show that we all enjoyed watching.
I’m Heart Broken over the show being Cancelled. Is it because of COVID-19? I hope they bring it Back. I can Relate being a single mother with 2 kids. I love the chemistry between the couples.
This sucks. One of my favorites. I hope another network picks it up.
I Love this Show on Hulu. I don’t have Cable TV. So it takes be a whole day just for it to come on/ being aired. I always looked forward to the show SINGLE PARENTS.
Big surprise. Another one of my favorite shows cancelled by ABC. This is one of 3 so far this year, and I lost my favorite show last year. I’m getting disillusioned with the stupidity of the American public. Seems like all they want are the boring, mindnumbing reality shows and don’t want comedy anymore. So sad. I don’t use a streaming service, but I definitely would if it gave me THIS great show – Single Parents -(and Bless This Mess, Schooled, The Kids are Alright) and all the funny shows that got cancelled. Yep.. the shows that actually make you… Read more »
This totally sucks!! I can’t believe there will not be a season 3. Damn!!
My son and I (he’s 12) had so much fun watching Single Parents every week. What a bummer! It would have been great if they could have had a couple episodes to wrap everything up. Did Angie and Will end up together? ♂️ We’d like to think they did.
I’m SO Disappointed ☹️ the show is Not Starting Season 3!
STUPID, STUPID, STOOOOPID!!!! A delightful, wonderfully inventive show, the kids were “over-the-top” — but NOT annoying! What total idiots decided this? Could/would another network pick this up? Especially given the chemistry between this group of actors?
I TOTALLY agree. I loved this refreshing show and its tremendous actors. Unfortunately the idiots are the American public. Any shows with the great qualities you describe almost always get canceled. It’s so disheartening. If it’s not reality TV or death and murder it doesn’t seem to last.
I’m Heart Broken over the show being Cancelled. Is it because of COVID-19? I hope they bring it Back. I can Relate being a single mother with 2 kids. I love the chemistry between the couples.
