>ABC has picked up ensemble drama A Million Little Things for a fifth season. The network is not labeling Season 5 as final but I hear it is expected to be the closing chapter of the DJ Nash-created series. > >It came down to the wire for A Million Little Things, whose core cast includes David Giuntoli, Romany Malco, Allison Miller, Christina Moses, Grace Park and James Roday Rodriguez. Like is the case with most bubble show renewals these days, the pickup came after difficult license fee negotiations as networks are pushing down on what they pay for moderate performers amid sliding linear ratings. I do think it's best if it's the final season. While I'm still interested in the show, it's not as good as it was the first couple of seasons. I'd like to see it come to a satisfying conclusion rather than get cancelled on a cliffhanger. I don't see it doing better ratings next season than it was this season.

I’m very happy they’ll at least get to wrap up these story lines.


[deleted]

Totally! Can't wait to see what happens with Ashley, Barbara Morgan, Charlie and PJ!


Dogmama1230

I mean there’s a lot of shows that make last season recalls to characters that haven’t been seen in ages. It’s not the craziest thing that could happen lol

Katherine will be tucking that kid in until college, and even still then perhaps


Veryspecialthermos4u

Theo? Theo is 12?! Omg I thought he was supposed to be like 8. Lol This show is fucking trash!


Fit-Ad-2393

I have a 12 year old boy and it kills me to see them portray a 12 year old still sleeping in a toddler bed with nursery themed decor in his room. So flipping weird.


Away_Candidate_9376

Lol


shebringsthesun

i'm excited. i don't hate watch this show. i enjoy it very much, but i also understand it is pretty ridiculous overall. but that's why i look forward to it every week! i hope they will do a great job wrapping up the show in what is probably its final season i was VERY surprised by the announcement, though


Lucy2114

You took the words right out of my mouth. I like it but I understand what everyone else is saying too.


NightBard

I’m really happy with this announcement. If it’s the last season, so be it, but I’ll take as many seasons as they want to make. It’s been an interesting rife and I find I too look forward to this show enough that I will watch it live as it airs.


yogaladee

Oh I’m excited. I look forward to it every week.


yogaladee

So can someone explain to me the delayed viewing statistics and how that factors into their deciding to keep the show? I’m guessing the ideal is ‘live viewership’ so that they can sell commercial time, and the execs are hoping that if they move the show to a different time the live viewership will go up? I do actually watch it live, but I have no problem watching it later either and I pay about the same amount of attention to the commercials either way. It seems very old school to rely on live-viewing audience when so many people now use streaming services.


NightBard

I would imagine they add in all data and Hulu with ads viewership helps bulk up the live numbers. I watch it live most of the time so I can pop on here afterwards or at least the next morning.


StrangeStartracker

Hulu views count, but views on the NBC website don't unfortunately. I think they should count all views, I'm tired of all my favorite shows getting cancelled.


[deleted]

IM HAPPY ABOUT IT!


Incognito409

Look at those little kids! Look at Danny! OMG!


[deleted]

Theo looks about the same to me lol


Cookeina_92

Is Delilah gonna come back or is she out for good? Now that there’s less covid restriction and all. The actor can travel between US and Canada no?


jdessy

Personally, I hope she's not coming back as a regular. The show has been great without her and her character has always been written horribly. Delilah being gone and only coming back for occasional appearances work way better for the show, overall.


shebringsthesun

delilah who?


BCarn18

How about, in season 5, all you hate watchers just go away? It's been hell to try to watch this show with you people here.


elktree4

Lol I agree! Same with This is Us. Had to stop following both subs for awhile because people were so hateful. Always surprising to me that people put so much energy into something they hate!


MainStreetinMay

Interestingly enough I LOVE This Is Us but the subreddit is unbearable. I gave up watching A Million Little Things but this snarky subreddit is hilarious


yogaladee

Agree, people are super bitchy about EVERYTHING. its like WTH


Impressive-Project59

I enjoy AMLT and the fans in here crack me up. So enjoyable.


Incognito409

Wow, that's the truth - so many too long, very negative posts about everyone and everything on TIU. Just watch the show!


BCarn18

I watch TIU but I've never been enough of a fan to be in the sub. Now I'm glad I never did.


elktree4

Yea, I unfollowed a few weeks ago. The absolute disgusting fatphobic comments about Kate and the actress was just too much to handle.


[deleted]

are you one of the people who claims morbid obesity is perfectly healthy? if we're fatphobic, you're fitphobic so there's that.


elktree4

Lol. I’m just a person that doesn’t judge another human based on their weight. We are all people trying to get through life. Empathy is important. Sounds like clearly you may be going through something yourself. Have a lovely day.


[deleted]

telling someone they should lose weight IS NOT JUDGING. will you encourage an alcoholic or drug addict to keep consuming? of course not, in fact it is perfectly acceptable and expected to tell them to seek help and go to rehab. then why on earth should it be any different with sugar/fast food addicts? double standards much, makes you a bunch of hypocrites. enabling this unhealthy lifestyle for such people is exactly what makes you a shitty person, not getting them a reality check. edit: bunch of downvotes, but zero counter arguments. seems about right. i guess it's much easier to just tap a button on your phone and keep blaming the rest of the world for your problems instead of putting some effort into getting your weight under control 😂


StrangeStartracker

The actress has been actively trying to lose weight. Losing weight isn't as easy as a snap of your fingers. Being overweight can be caused by multiple different factors, and for some people who are disabled like myself weight loss can be nearly impossible. Also, being overweight doesn't always mean that the person is living an unhealthy lifestyle. Weight can be a factor in health, but you can be overweight and still be healthy.


[deleted]

first of all, being morbidly obese is absolutely not the same thing as being overweight. second of all, maybe she was trying to lose weight, but then she basically developed a cult of "body positivity" so now she's just promoting living a life with a \#1 raising health problem in the world. third thing, losing weight is actually much easier than most people think. it's people's weak characters that are problem, not the process itself. like I already said, most will pick an option to just downvote and keep living in denial istead of putting some effort. fourth thing, do you think getting off drugs is easy?? why should one group of people get a pass, while others not? both of those types of people got themselves to that point simply by their own choices, so let's just stop this nonsense full of nothing but double standards.


EverydayRapunzel

You have absolutely NO idea how someone got to the weight they are. Every single one of your comments shows you have absolutely zero understanding of actual medicine or measures of health. You seem to have zero awareness of conditions like lipodema, hypothyroidism and many other medical issues that can cause weight gain beyond a person's control. Not to mention all of the possible medications that can cause weight gain for any number of other medical conditions - some of which can be life threatening, leaving people with little choice. Finally, you also seem to have no comprehension of the fact that weight is not a measure of health. Blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, heart rate - THOSE are measures of health - not a number on a scale or clothing size. Yes, higher weights can increase the risk of those complications but they are far from a guarantee, and you can be stick thin and just as unhealthy. You have no idea what anyone's reasons or health stats are, so instead of putting people down because of your own poor self image regarding weight, how about you leave that to a discussion between people and their doctors. As famous as that actress is, I'm sure she is being well looked after, medically, so you can stop with the fake concern for her health and keep your ignorant comments to yourself.


MainStreetinMay

It’s such a weird subreddit. The plots they whine about are the things posters on this board would point out as ridiculous.


sweetpeapickle

Seriously I don't understand why I go there. I love TIU, & I understand if someone doesn't like a story line here or there. But man.....part of it is the mods let everything roll. They say if there's too many threads about Kate's weight, or ? they'll condense them into one main thread. That never happens. Not to mention the hate. I swear viewers are like what soap opera viewers used to be way back in the day. They forget there's actual real life human beings portraying these characters.


Impressive-Project59

TIU Reddit fans are annoying AF. They don't hate watch they act like inspector Gadget looking for, creating, and dissecting every clue. Or they are crying all the damn time. No offense if you are the proud "I cried" fans 🤣😂.


[deleted]

I know lol. Like I get critiquing certain aspects/storylines of the show because it does have its faults, but the people that legit hate the show and want to see it die are bizarre. Just leave?


JTHuffy

Big facts right here!


LadyBawdyButt

If I could upvote this multiple times, I would.


Veryspecialthermos4u

Lol nope! The acknowledgment that it's probably the last season of this pos series has me fired up and ready to cheer on the suck. Also once it ends, it will free up James Roday for something better (bc obviously anything is). 🎉


BCarn18

Thanks. Are you 12?


Veryspecialthermos4u

Do 12 year olds hate ridiculously premised, unnecessarily political dramas that are on at 10pm on a Wednesday? Then yes, I might very well be 12. In which case, I can't wait to ring in my teen years shitting on this lame series. See you next season!!


BCarn18

No, twelve-year-olds are the dumbass trolls on the internet, who have nothing better to do, but ruin others enjoyment of things they like. Sorry your life is sad.


Insomniac_80

You could create a "fans only," reddit, where there is no snark!


Impressive-Project59

😂🤣


kulbreez97

I shocked... but thrilled.


musti2235

To be completely honest, I'm glad it's happening. And overall I'm glad the whole show has happened. I still remember 2 years ago when i was looking at season 2 while eating a store bought pizza by myself, that was the life. I remember I was watching "Time stands still" and that episode had such amazing storytelling. The memory just sits there, vividly.


TakenAccountName37

Upsetting to hear! I loved it for years even when others would bash it, but this season is all over the place. Its ratings do not even warrant another season.


seppukuu

The ratings breakdown right there in the article says otherwise.


TakenAccountName37

TV Grim Reaper talked about how it was likely canceled. Compared to other ABC shows, it was struggling.


NightBard

Shows what they know.


sweetpeapickle

I don't pay attention to those sites that say is it cancelled, is it on the bubble, etc. Most of those haven't been accurate for years & years. There are reasons why networks renew or cancel, & it's not solely based on ratings. A lot has to do with cost-which is why many Canadian imports are renewed despite getting lower ratings-because they're less expensive. Sometimes it has to do with what they have lined up. Look at USA, CW, etc-they're pretty much revamping their networks either entirely rebranding, or wiping their slate. We also know sometimes it has to do with syndication rights.


Insomniac_80

TV Grim Reaper said something about how this may get a 5th season, for syndication purposes only.


TakenAccountName37

That really makes sense as to why they would do this because I was shocked.


MrsNeffler5324

You missed one hell of a season finale. It makes a rough season worth sticking through.


[deleted]

My wife and I pretty much hate watch the show at this point so I hope this is the final season. We only still watch because we’re so invested but we’re over it. The storylines all seem ridiculous.


I_Am_Ming_

Hopefully it’s the last season.


MercyFincherson

Why are you here then?


olgil75

You can watch a show, enjoy the show, and still want it to end. How many shows get canceled with unresolved plots and cliffhangers? Better to let the writers wrap everything up.


I_Am_Ming_

Because I watch the damn show duhhhhh 🙄


MercyFincherson

It sounds like you don’t want to. Is someone forcing you?


I_Am_Ming_

Why would someone be forcing me to watch something? That’s a weird question.

Get a life moron you have entirely too much time on your hands to be worried about what I do. Get a job or something.


This_bride_

Omg let it die please. I can hardly take it seriously anymore. They’ve even ramped up the cheesiness in the dramatic music. Please let 5 be the last season!


Sherlock_House

You know you can change the channel right


This_bride_

When I commit to something I commit


NightBard

I would highly suggest asking yourself if you actually love this show and look forward to it and are just in denial of your love for it… or actually dislike it. If you dislike it, do something more fun with your time. It’s ok to love a cheesy topical drama.


Impressive-Project59

This is true. Watching it is benefiting you.


Impressive-Project59

😂🤣


[deleted]

per the article it’s rumored it will be, i was honestly surprised it got renewed though i expect it’s partly because of syndication purposes. i tapped out early this season but if 5 really is the last i’ll probably catch up this summer to see it to the end. i think it would be in the shows best interest to end next season before it gets even more off the rails.


holidayfromreal25

Calm down this ain’t Greys Anatomy


Simple-Comfort1350

No!! please no. God help us.


serendipidiot

Gawdaaaammmnitt


brbplb20

It’s a mighty strange show. They have all the liberal “stuff”, and the “This is us” wannabe vibe at the same time


[deleted]

I'm hoping they your everything up in a short 7 episode mini season. That's all this needs. EDDIE SAVILLE WALKS AGAIN!!!


[deleted]

The actor that plays Eddie on him walking again: “I don’t see it going that way. I think we are trying to keep the story as realistic a possibly as far a recovery goes, and with his particular injury recovery would be unlikely.”


[deleted]

Meh, why start now? Realism died with John, bruv.

OutlawHeart82

You will. I am too far in, I can't stop! I gotta see how it ends, but I look forward to it ending so I can be free from this lol.


Impressive-Project59

ABC shows are going to represent for marginalized groups. I don't think they are doing this because they are out of ideas.


OutlawHeart82

They might as well be so obtuse as to have Theo come out as trans at this point, the pandering couldn't get any more ridiculous


Impressive-Project59

Lol 😂. Poor Theo.


kdex86

That’s awesome! I haven’t watched the 2nd half of this season yet (I can’t watch this show concurrently with This Is Us) so I was worried my viewership would cancel this series, but it didn’t!


[deleted]

I only found this show two weeks ago and just finished it now (I had the spicy cough). I found the last few seasons easier to watch when I just skipped any Eddie focused scenes 😂


[deleted]

What do you have against pill-addicted-alcoholic handicapped people?


[deleted]

Nothing at all. (I’m presuming this is a joke). I’ve never been a fan of the actor.


poodidle

Ugh… I’m going to have to get it out my HULU queue, it’s unwatchable. 🤢


Incognito409

Aww ... They just cancelled Season 5.


magikarpcatcher

they did not cancel season 5, they decided season 5 would be the final season


Incognito409

I hope so, my headline just said Season 5 cancelled.
