Switched at Birth will air a fifth and final season on Freeform, but fans will have to wait for that season to air. The creator of the series shared the news on Twitter on Friday night.
Season five of the series will not air until 2017, and Lizzy Weiss did not know when that finale will air. She shared several other tweets about the series and its end on her Twitter over the weekend. Check them all out below.
I’ll tweet this on a Friday night when no one is listening. We won’t be back til 2017, I’m not sure exactly when. BUT WAIT FOR US.

It’s a bummer but it is what it is. I was a fan of Mad Men and I waited forever for its final season. True fans will wait. It’s worth it.

In other happier news, the last three minutes of our race episode are pretty awesome. And will still be awesome in 2017. (And you will cry.)

I’m deciding on a title for the series finale. As you know, they are all painting titles. Before I commit, suggestions welcome.

Are you bummed that the wait for the finale of Switched at Birth will be a long one? Tell us what you think.
I don’t think it should be taken off at all. They always take off the best shows.
I have been waiting and watching for SAB to begin again and finally decided that it must’ve actually been cancelled. So just found out what’s going on. 2017…really?? I already can’t remember what was happening. The girls were in the Middle East??? I DO not remember THAT at all. Before it starts again I hope they show some old ones to catch some of us up. Aarg
I’m PISSED dude I was waiting and checking for awhile and now they pull this crap what the hell is this supposed to be funny total bogus bullcrap
This really sucks I Have waited for so long to find out why the girls have to go home from the middle east and now the show has to cancel on top of it. Why do they always have to cancel the good shows and keep the crap going.
Bummer. Im sure there so no way for them to uncancell the show lol but I love it and I really don’t want it to end.
I AM VERY UPSET YOU ARE TAKING SAB OFF THE AIR I IT IS A GOOD SHOW FOR THE YOUNG AND OLD. A FAMILY SHOW. AT LEAST IT WILL HAVE A ENDING. THE MAIN PERSON I HAVE LOVED IS BAY I SURE HOPE IT ENDS HAPPY FOR HER. AND FINDS OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT TY AND THAT HE DIDN’T CHEAT ON HER AND THEY SHOULD GET MARRIED SHE HAS LOVED HIM SINCE YHE BEGINING.
bay has known since the first half of season 2 that ty didnt actually cheat on her. MaryBeth told her when she was mad about bay dating tank.
This show was awesome! In a way it pushed me to learn to sign. I can’t believe I’ll have to wait two years! I rarely watch TV but one day I saw the show and fell in love with it. I know I wont even think of checking in two years for a new episode. It was good while it lasted! Such a bummer!
I can’t believe you are ending this show. I looked forward to watching it every season. I guess then next one you will be taking off is The Fosters. Those were the only two shows left on the former Family Channel that I watch any more. The new shows are not worth my time.
You might like recovery road!!!! i am completely obsessed!!!!!!
I feel the exact same way. Really sad how much they have changed the station to try to gain watcher while losing watchers at the exact same time. Once the Fosters go I’m done with Freeform.
i fell in love with this show and had been waiting for every episode.. more like now i have to find some other show i like to replace switched at birth. i found switched at birth when it had 4 episodes and now i have to wait until i graduate to find everything out.
It’s ridiculous….just say it’s over. To me it is over. What a way to ruin a good show. Not even given a reason why fans would have to wait 2 years before the final season. The show is over, too bad because it was a good show. Why do TV execs think people will wait around for their shows. Lost did the same thing and I lost interest and never found it again. So now I have lost interest in Switched at Birth as well Wish I had waited till 2020 to start watching the series as then I would… Read more »
