It turns out that there won’t be a sixth season of the Switched at Birth TV show on Freeform. Series creator and executive producer Lizzy Weiss has confirmed that season five will be the end. She wrote, “This season of #SwitchedatBirth will be our final one. We are ending the show after an amazing 103 episodes with pride, love, and gratitude.”
Switched at Birth follows the lives of two teenage girls after it’s discovered that they ended up with the others’ families as babies at the hospital. The cast includes Vanessa Marano, Katie Leclerc, Lea Thompson, Constance Marie, Sean Berdy, D.W. Moffett, Lucas Grabeel, and Giles Marini.
The series debuted in June 2011, won a Peabody Award in 2013, and features several deaf and hard-of-hearing series regulars. The fourth season finished airing in October 2015 was down by 28% in both the 18-49 demographic and total viewership. The fifth and final season has yet to be scheduled and will apparently have just 10 episodes (93 installments have aired over the previous four seasons).
What do you think? Are you a fan of this series? Do you think the final season of Switched at Birth should have been longer? Would you have watched a sixth season?
Yes I loved it would have watched! I loved it being hearing impaired I had to watch!
I still don’t really understand why the show was cancelled but if you can you NEED to bring it back. It was an amazing show and also makes you look at the world in a different way. And I’m starting to take sign language classes because of the show. There might have been less ppl watching it but it was only a tiny amount. SO PLEASE BRING THE SHOW BACK.
yes i would have watched it i love the show
I would watch like 50 seasons of this show! I am getting a lot of others into it too!
Yes!! I feel they should have gone on!!!! We all loved the show and couldn’t wait for it to come back for another season!!!! BAD move!!!!
This show was terrible and full of useless and repetitive drama. Thank god it’s ending!
Then you didn’t have to watch it
if you feel so negative about this show then why are you wasting your time on this site writing your negative comments? If you don’t like the show then don’t watch it.
It was one of my favorites…I’m definitely invested and it’ll be sad to see it go! Please reconsider?
I love this show and am very sad it’s been cancelled. I would watch future seasons if it weren’t cancelled. I have a very hard time finding it on Time Warner Cable.
I want to see more season of switch at birth. It was the best drama series.
One of the best shows ever! ABC Family channel is cancelling all of it’s good shows now that has become FREEFORM. Nothing but reality shows on there now! Bummer!
No!! This show touched on many things and grabbed many hearts! Will we see some sort of finality?
I very sad they are ending the show, I have every episode from day one. Please keep switched at birth on the air. And if push comes to shove. Consider making it a netflix show. Im still interested in the story line.
Thank you Jenine
So sad to hear that this wonderful show will be ending! It an Awesome show! Please reconsider!
