Why didn't Fresh Off the Boat get 22 episodes when it was renewed for a second season? Often, shows that premiere midseason that are renewed don't start out with full 22 episode orders in their second seasons. FOX post-apocalyptic comedy The Last Man on Earth and CW zombie-procedural iZombie have also started out their sophomore seasons with only 13 episodes, though the CW has ordered more scripts for iZombie. This does not reflect anything about the renewal of Fresh Off the Boat for a third season, but if you ask me, it is very likely.
