A Million Little Things to End with Season 5

Fans of A Million Little Things will have a million less reasons to tune in to ABC starting next season, as the series' upcoming fifth season will be its last. The decision to run for five seasons has long been in place, with creator DJ Nash having a five-season ppl-an from the start of its run. Rumors buzzed over the summer about the show ending, but nothing was official until now. The series has long been a middling player in same-day ratings, but cultivated an impressive following on streaming that will allow it to get a farewell season. David Giuntoli, James Roday Rodriguez, Romany Malco, Grace Park, Christina Moses and Allison Miller make up the principle cast on the friendship drama.

A Million Little Things Renewed by ABC

A Million Little Things won't make it to a million seasons, but it will at least make it to five, as ABC has renewed the series today. The show premiered in 2018 to respectable ratings, seeing a ratings bump after being moved behind Grey's Anatomy in the second half of the season. It's declined since then, particularly since being moved back to Wednesdays last season. With a 38% drop from last season, it became the lowest-rated series on ABC this year with just a 0.26 average in the 18-49 demographic. However, the show remains a valuable asset for ABC on streaming, with a reportedly strong performance on Hulu, which ABC's parent company Disney owns a majority share of. A Million Little Things stars David Giuntoli, Grace Park, James Roday Rodriguez, Romany Malco, Christina Moses and Allison Miller. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

ABC Renews A Million Little Things

Fans of A Million Little Things have a million little reasons to celebrate. ABC has renewed the friendship drama for a fourth season. Season three saw the show move from Thursday back to its original Wednesday timeslot, and ratings plummeted as a result. It hit a series low in its first Wednesday episode and only got lower from there, eventually dipping to a 0.3. Despite the 40% year-to-year drop (to a 0.48 average), the series has managed to be a modest improvement on For Life despite a weaker lead-in, and boasts strong gains in delayed viewing and on streaming services. The show stars David Giuntoli, Romany Malco, Stephanie Szostak, Allison Miller, James Roday Rodriguez, Grace Park and Christina Moses, and is created by DJ Nash. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.
