‘Emergence,’ ‘Schooled, ‘Single Parents’ & 2 More Canceled at ABC
ABC is bringing back a total of 19 of its shows from the 2019-2020 season next year, but five didn’t make the cut.
Freshman drama Emergence, comedies Schooled, Single Parents, and Bless This Mess, and the Kids Say the Darndest Things revival have all been canceled.
Schooled creator Adam F. Goldberg shared the news himself, “breaking protocol,” on Twitter. “Wanted the @goldnerds to hear it from me,” he explained before expressing his gratitude to the cast, crew, writers, and ABC.
These cancellations come as ABC renewed American Housewife, The Bachelor, black-ish, The Conners, Dancing With the Stars, The Goldbergs, A Million Little Things, mixed-ish, The Rookie, Shark Tank, Stumptown, 20/20, and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. (America’s Funniest Home Videos, American Idol, The Bachelorette, The Good Doctor, Grey’s Anatomy, Station 19, and Supermarket Sweep had previously been announced for the 2020-2021 season).
I’m breaking protocol, but wanted the @goldnerds to hear it from me. @SchooledABC won’t get a season 3. Big hugs to our brilliant cast, crew & writers. I’m beyond grateful to Karey Burke and @ABCNetwork for giving us 35 episodes to show that teachers like CB are the real heroes. pic.twitter.com/ox7piI5tcO

Can someone explain please why "For Life" did not get renewed? The best drama series I have watch todate. Not a TV watcher however I anxiously awaited each week to see what would happen next. I hope that another channel will pick it up or Netflix would be nice. Someone please tell ABC that tgey need to rethink that decision.

I agree. I was waiting anxiously to watch the next season of For Life. It provided the very essence of inequality in our justice system so needed today.

'Schooled' was good, but in a tough timeslot. 'Goldbergs' was lucky to get another season. 'Bless This Mess' was awful.

As a fan of Goldbergs, how did it get another season? It is still pretty funny, but story-wise seems like it has run its course. Maybe they don't want to make The Wonder Years mistake of cancelling before HS graduation:) But, Schooled deserved a bit more time.

Yes, it was definitely at risk. I'm just glad it got another season to shine.
