The cast also includes Anna Chanel Reimer, Alexandra Mary Reimer, Samara Weaving, Connie Britton, Blake Clark, Raven Goodwin, Kimberly Crossman, Mark Webber, and Mia Kaplan.

Telly’s Take
Will Showtime cancel or renew SMILF for a second season? Thouh the ratings are pretty low, my gut says it will score a season two renewal, but that’s just speculation. I’ll keep an eye on the ratings and update this page as more data becomes available. Subscribe for free updates on any SMILF cancellation or renewal news.

I think this show is the most refreshing new show on tv in years! It is darkly hilarious on a whole other level. It’s creative and realistic at the same time.
