Are you guys fans of these shows?
Great news for ABC Family fans! The network has just renewed a handful of their hit shows including Switched at Birth, Bunheads, Baby Daddy, and Melissa & Joey. Unfortunately, the network chose to pass on renewing Jane By Design. I personally love all of these shows so I’m very happy with this news. Baby Daddy was a surprisingly hilarious sitcom for me and it’s no news how much I love Switched at Birth.
Be sure to tune in to Switched at Birth when it returns on September 3rd.
It’s that time of the season. Season finales and shocking deaths and cliffhangers are invading our TV schedules. What’s worse, not all of our favorites will be returning for another season. Some will, however, and we’ve got the list of what shows received renewals and which received cancellations this week. We’ll continue to update as news comes out. Which of your shows made the cut?

After a slew of renewals and cancellations this week among the networks, ABC has ordered a whopping ten new series to their lineup. The star studded casts include Reba McEntire, Max Adler, Vanessa Williams, Terry O’Quinn, Sarah Chalke, and a whole lot more. We have the episode descriptions for each of the series under the cut. Which ones interest you? Will you be tuning in to any of them? How many will be cancelled after only one season? Here’s hoping a new drama captivates audiences like LOST did.
From EW:
– Based on the Dutch format, Red Widow centers on the widow (Radha Mitchell) of an assassinated criminal who is forced to adopt her husband’s role in an organized-crime syndicate in order to protect her family.
– Nashville is a family soap starring American Horror Story lead Connie Britton that’s set in the country music scene with one star at her peak and one on the rise. Eric Close, Hayden Panettiere, Jonathan Jackson, Powers Boothe costar.
– Zero Hour stars Anthony Edwards and Michael Nyqvist and is about a “bizarre twist of fate that pulls a man who’s spent 20 years as the editor of a skeptics magazine into one of the most compelling conspiracies in human history.”
– Last Resort stars Andre Braugher in a high-concept project described as “an international action-thriller-soap that follows the story of establishing a new society in a world held hostage by the crew of a ballistic missile submarine. Basically, a U.S. nuclear sub crew refuses orders to fire their missiles and escapes to a NATO outpost and declares themselves the smallest nuclear nation. Scott Speedman and Autumn Reeser co-star. (Max Adler!)
– Mistresses tells the story of four women with turbulent romantic lives. Alyssa Milano, Yunjin Kim, Rochelle Aytes and Jes Macallan star.
– 666 Park Ave. brings Lost star Terry O’Quinn back to ABC. The logline: “A young couple accepts an offer to manage one of the most historic apartment buildings in New York City, they unwittingly begin to experience supernatural occurrences, which complicate and endanger the lives of everyone in the building.” Co-stars Dave Annable, Rachael Taylor and Vanessa Williams. (I’ll be tuning in to this one for the cast alone!)
On the comedy side, there’s…
– Comeback Jack (a much less creepy name than its original title, Red Van Man), about a man who is forced to put his dreams on hold in order to take over the family handyman business from his father, and stars J.K. Simmons, Kyle Bornheimer and Leah Remini.
– The Neighbors, about a family that moves into a highly desirable gated community in New Jersey only to discover that the entire neighborhood is made up of aliens disguised as humans. That one costars Jamie Gertz and Max Charles.
– How to Live with Your Parents for the Rest of Your Life (um, HTLWYPFTROYL?) is about a recently divorced single mom, moves in with her eccentric parents who are full of life but know no boundaries. Sarah Chalke will star along with Brad Garrett, Elizabeth Perkins, Orlando Jones and Rachel Eggleston.
– Malibu Country stars country star Reba McEntire and comedy legend Lily Tomlin. Logline: “After her good ol’ boy rock star husband cheats on her and burns through most of their money, Reba divorces him and moves her three sons and mom from Nashville to the only asset they have left — a little house in Malibu.” Sara Rue and Jai Rodriguez co-star.
