Despite being one of ABC’s top-rated shows, Speechless didn’t land an early renewal for season two, and some fans worried it might be cancelled. Today, it was revealed that the Alphabet Network had renewed Speechless for a second season.
A live-action ABC sitcom, the Speechless TV show stars Minnie Driver, John Ross Bowie, Mason Cook, Michah Fowler, Kyla Kennedy, and Cedric Yarbrough. The cast also includes Marin Hinkle, Jonathan Slavin, McKaley Miller, and David Lengel.
Speechless Renewed for Season Two on ABC
Speechless centers on the DiMeo family. Maya (Driver) and Jimmy (Bowie) are parents to Ray (Cook), Dylan (Kennedy), and teenaged JJ (Fowler), who has cerebral palsy. After moving to a good school district, Maya searches for best person to give JJ his “voice.” She finds the school’s groundskeeper, Kenneth (Yarbrough), is the man for the job.
Driver broke the news about the renewal today, via Twitter.
Well, @Speechless_ABC has officially been picked up for a second season. 🎯🏆

What do you think? Are you a fan of the Speechless TV show? Will you watch the second season on ABC? Let us know, below.
Love this show & SO happy it’s returning. Great show to watch with the family.
I LOVE this show and am looking forward to the next season! It’s about time a network puts on a show not just including but highlighting disability and the family challenges & triumphs that come along with it. I can TOTALLY relate to Driver’s mama bear character.
Who are the big gun guest stars?
Am hoping that first season will be released on a DVD. Does anyone know?
HA-A-PP-Y Yay!
I think the show did look good at all
Yay. I’m so happy it’s renewed.
YAAAAAAAA hey are stupid for not renewed. Last man standing! So glad this is renewed only two of my shows weren’t renewed but I’m happy camper
