Telly’s Take
Will Freeform cancel or renew The Bold Type for season five? The series has never done well in the ratings but Freeform keeps renewing it. This time around, it’s been renewed for 18 episodes (later cut to 16), while past seasons have had just 10 installments each. I think season four is the end.

What do you think? Are you glad that The Bold Type TV show has been renewed for a fifth and final season? Are you sorry that there won’t be a sixth season?
I discovered this show in Season 3 and I am hooked! PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL IT! I am not just a blind, youthful, loyal follower of the show, but a 43-year-old professional in the TV industry and watch many shows as part of my work. Objective detachment is necessary when looking at these things. I can tell you that The Bold Type is a gem, and it will be sorely missed when it ends. A large cult audience is sure to ensue in the coming years, like Freaks and Geeks. Disney should look beyond the ratings and see how this… Read more »
Picked this series back up after walking away from it mid season two. While I used to think Kat was the one too out there after season 4 ending she seemed the most normal and endearing. She stilled believed in love even after going through so many failed relationships. But First question? How did they all remain 26 yrs throughout 4 seasons? My opinion: Overall, I will never stop believing that finding love with an amazing man that is kind and supportive and interesting and caring will always win. I pulled for Pinstripe/Ryan until the end hoping that their paths… Read more »
Would love to see The Bold Type return. The characters are all well defined, strong women that support each other. Well written.
Please renew one of the only good shows left!
Renew!!
I have adored this show every step of the way!!! Its progressive nature is empowering and has literally led me to take on new challenges like heading a social media account for an org I’m passionate about, joining forces with others to fight for POC books in schools, and more in large part thanks to this show. The actors are fantastic, and I fell completely in love with them from episode 1!!! PLEASE RENEW IT FOR MORE SEASONS!!!!!!!
I’m 70, retired, divorce and was looking for a new series to watch. Several family members (26-50 age) have watched the series. Suggested I would love it too. I’m currently on the last episode of Season 4. Love the 3 actresses, the diversity and most of the story lines and all the characters. Although some of the timelines seem for most the part unrealistic, they hold my interest in watching more episodes. Rate: 10 out of 10 Topics: Very forward thinking and great solutions portrayed with realistic endings. Like the morality and friendships bonding. Renew ?: Very definitely! Would love… Read more »
I LOVE THE BOLD TYPE!!! PLEASE RENEW FOR SEASON 5
Please do not cancel The Bold Type!! This is a great show!! One of the only watchable shows left!! I love Sutton and Richard! They are the best couple!! Please renew for season 5!!!
PLEASE RENEW “The Bold Type”! It would be a terrible waste to cancel a series that sheds light on so many important issues, not to mention the inevitable laughter! Come on, Freeform: hold on to one of your most valuable assets!
PLEASE renew”The Bold Type”! Nothing makes my wife happier, and we’re not exactly young. It makes her feel young & excited, though, & that brings me joy. This particular series has been a welcomed distraction: My wife has experienced some of the same traumatic events that lead characters have portrayed in their roles. “The Bold Type” may merely be a TV Show, but it’s been one of healing, as well as just good entertainment for my Better Half! As a husband & male who supports women’s values, please renew this more-than-noteworthy show!
Have to have MORE of THE BOLD TYPE!!! I fail to understand how/why ratings could be so low, but ratings aren’t exactly a precise form of measurement. Nevertheless, this show has a VERY LOYAL fan base, and it portrays important themes that should receive attention. Besides, how could you not love Sutton, Kat, & Jane? Sam Page is always easy on the eyes, & the supporting cast always evoke laughter. This is an absolute favorite “group time” show, normally accompanied by pizza & good friends. I’ve had several solitary Bold Type interims accompanied with a glass of wine, & it… Read more »
I love the bold type please renew it. I cant wait to see how Jane surgery went, to see how sutton and Richard marriage is going and to see what new things Kat is up too. PLEASE BRING MORE SEASONS!!!
Please keep The Bold Type on. It is a good show.
I am begging you to keep this show , it empowers not only women but all genders ! It’s really inspiring and educational to watch ! I literally look forward to watching THE BOLD TYPE!
