ABC has renewed its freshman comedy Single Parents for a second season

The September 26, 2018 debuting single-camera show follows a group of very different, you guessed it, single parents as they lean on one another to help raise their 7-year-old kids and maintain some kind of personal lives outside of parenthood, sort of.

It kicked off with the group meeting Will (Taran Killam), a thirtysomething guy who’s been so focused on raising his daughter that he’s lost sight of who he is as a man. When the other single parents see just how far down the rabbit hole of PTA, parenting and princesses Will has gone, they band together to get him out in the dating world and make him realize that being a great parent doesn’t mean sacrificing everything about your own identity.

Among the often ham handed parents, the just finished first season of Single Parents...

By mid-May, the broadcast networks must make some tough calls as to which series will return for the 2019-20 season, and which… won’t.

Next up is a sitcom about… Ok, the title’s kind of on the nose with this one.
