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.
