Season 5 of American Housewife came to an end on March 31st which has left fans asking if the show has been cancelled or renewed for season 6.
American Housewife has earned a hugely dedicated following since it arrived on ABC in October 2016.
In 2020, American Housewife returned to ABC for its fifth season and after 13 episodes, the shortest season of the show so far, the latest instalment came to an end on March 31st, 2021.
Now that season 5 of American Housewife has come to an end, fans have been left asking if the show has been cancelled or it has been renewed for season 6.
*Spoilers ahead for season 5 episode 13*
American Housewife season 5
Season 5 of American Housewife began airing on ABC on October 28th, 2020, around a month later than previous seasons thanks to a certain global pandemic.
After 13 episodes, the shortest season of American Housewife so far, season 5 of the much-loved sitcom came to an end on March 31st, 2021.
The final episode in season 5 saw Greg’s election day arrive at last while the episode ended with the various members of the Otto family all making huge announcements.
Cancelled or renewed for season 6?
- It has not been announced if American Housewife has been renewed for season 6 or cancelled.
Following the conclusion of season 4, American Housewife’s fifth season was confirmed by Deadline on May 21st, 2020, a week after season 4 had ended.
As a result, it may take ABC a little time to make an announcement for season 6 of American Housewife.
However, a positive for fans to take is that viewing figures for season 5 haven’t dropped off too much compared to season 4 with an average audience of 2.97 million compared to 3.05 million in season 4.
On top of that, the multiple revelations at the end of episode 13, including that Katie is pregnant, looks set to shake things up dramatically, giving us plenty of story potential for season 6 if it does happen.
Fans want more!
While there has yet to be an official announcement on American Housewife season 6, fans of the show certainly want it to return and have taken to social media to offer their thoughts.
