You can stop holding your breath — ABC has finally answered (some) TV viewers’ prayers and renewed five more fan-favorite scripted series.

Following suit with NBC, which just released its fall and midseason TV schedule, the Alphabet Network announced Friday that it would be bringing back two more drama series in the 2021-2022 season: ensemble friends-and-family saga A Million Little Things and Nathan Fillion-starring cop series The Rookie, both returning for their fourth seasons.

Additionally, ABC’s new season will be bringing the laughs with renewed comedies The Conners (Season 4), The Goldbergs (Season 9), and freshman series Home Economics, which will be back for Season 2.

The comedy renewals are all noteworthy in their own rights. The Conners‘ pickup will bring it to almost half as many seasons as Roseanne, the sitcom from which it spun off. Meanwhile, Goldbergs is now just two seasons behind ABC’s longest-running comedies Modern Family and Happy Days.

And Home Economics is undoubtedly the breakout hit of the midseason, delivering the best lead-in retention in Adults 18-49 (100 percent) of any new comedy debut on any network.

    I am so so disappointed that ABC canceled Rebel. I am so so sad that is a great show and I wished another network will pick it up. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

      Seen all of them so far and not impressed (matter of fact deleted it from my DVR list). Family dynamic is so hard to keep track of and for an ensemble show it seems that Segal screen time is at least 90% (yes I KNOW, it's based on her character but still...)

    A Million Little Things is one of the best shows that has been on television since the 1960. Good acting, well cast, good storylines, and true to life. Thank you ABC.

      I don't watch this show, but I don't understand people who wish cancellation to some shows. We have the power to cancel anything we don't like, just don't watch it. Some people like this show, so why be egotistical and desire the end of anything that you don't like, those who do be damned. Sorry, I just don't understand your mind set.
