Telly’s Take
While Young & Hungry was originally given a season orders of 10 episodes, eventually, Freeform doubled the total order to 20. A couple of weeks before that, the cable channel decided not to move forward with the proposed spin-off. Were the two decisions related? Although the fourth season ratings saw a small increase over the previous year, will the sitcom continue to build its audience? The ratings are way down but Freeform has cancelled Baby Daddy so, that may mean the network will want to keep this show around for a sixth season. We’ll see. Subscribe to be notified of Young & Hungry cancellation and renewal news. After all, I’m young and hungry, too.
3/15/18 update: Freeform has announced the premiere date for the second half of the fifth and final season. Details here.

What do you think? Should Freeform cancel or renew the Young & Hungry TV show for a sixth season? How long do you expect this TV series to last?
I love watching young and hungry so please please renew it. I’ll wait for season six
I really like Y&H. I didn’t watch it for the first couple of seasons thinking it would be corny and cheesy like Two Broke Girls (I hate that show) but I’m glad I decided to watch it on Netflix one day because I was hooked. Its so funny, the characters and chemistry work together perfectly.
Please renew!!!!! I love this show!!!
I believe that Freeform should renew the television show “Young & Hungry,” because the cliffhanger in the last episode makes fans crave to see how things will go between Gabi and Josh…maybe engagement or maybe them starting a family?
Young and hungry will return in 2018 with the other half of season 5
Bring back young and hungry please
Please renew for season 6
FREEFORM, YOU HAVE TO BRUNG YOUNG & HUNGRY BACK FOR A 6TH SEASON, AND MANY MANY MORE!!! You can’t leave it on a cliff hanger like that! It’s my all time favorite show!
NEED SEASON 6 AND BRING BABY DADDY BACK TOO!!!!!
Come on freeform! We need 6th season!Please!!!!
Just finished watching all the episode on Netflix for the second time. Really can’t wait until SEASON 6 STARTS!! What are you waiting for Freeform???
Have to renew it it’s an awesome sitcom
Please renew Young and Hungry!!!
Renew! BUT… add more episodes and stop waiting so long in between breaks go bring it back on. Thats why the show has lost viewers. I love the show. It was my favorite but the length of time during the breaks made me find other shows and now I’m hooked on them. Too much time = disaster for this show. No wonder the ratings dropped!
I’m hoping so bad that young and hungry gets renewed for season six. I didn’t even know about it until I saw it in Netflix and watched all 5 seasons back to back and I love it! I can’t wait til I know if they renew it!
I would like to see Young & Hungry renewed. I had watched all of the melissa and joey episodes and was trying to find another show to watch and came across this one. I found myself watching this all the time. Was really disappointed when I came to the last episode
