What’s This TV Show About?
A dark semi-autobiographical Showtime comedy series, SMILF stars creator, writer, and director Frankie Shaw, with Rosie O’Donnell and Miguel Gomez. In season two, the Showtime cast also includes Samara Weaving, Connie Britton, Raven Goodwin, Melanie Griffith, Sherie Rene Scott, Claudia O’Doherty, Ari Graynor, and Stormy Daniels. The story centers on Bridgette Bird (Shaw), a working class, South Boston single mother, who is striving to provide a better life for her son, Larry Bird (named for the former Boston Celtics player). In the second season, Bridgette continues the search for her own father and tries to spread her wings beyond the streets of Southie.

Telly’s Take
Will Showtime cancel or renew SMILF for season three? The series’ ratings in season two are much lower than the first year’s numbers so, I’m thinking there’s a good chance it will be cancelled. I’ll keep an eye on the ratings and will update this page with any official news. Subscribe for free updates on any SMILF cancellation or renewal news.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the SMILF TV show would be renewed for a third season? Are you sorry that Showtime cancelled this TV series, instead?
I am a 65 year old woman and I love this show! Please don’t cancel it. Frankie Shaw is super talented and Rosie O’Donell are so great. I love the rest of the cast as well.Maybe she will get picked up by Netflix if you let her slip through your fingers.
