'Call Your Mother' Cancelled At ABC

No Season 2 for the Kyra Sedgwick comedy.

May 14, 2021

Word is out that ABC has cancelled Call Your Mother after just one season. Star Kyra Sedgwick took to Twitter with the sad news, letting her followers know that next Wednesday's episode will be the comedy's series finale.

The half-hour series premiered earlier this year as a mid-season entry but ended up underperforming. Reviews from critics were generally unfavorable and it struggled to draw a sizeable audience on Wednesday nights after 'The Conners'.

Call Your Mother stars Sedgwick as Jean, an empty-nester mother who is not thrilled that she ended up alone while her children live great lives thousands of miles away. So she decides to reinsert herself into her family's lives, hoping that her kids realize they actually need her more than they thought.

Before it goes out there in the world I want my fans to be the first to know that next Wednesday will be the last episode of “Call Your Mother”. You guys have been so wonderful to tune in every week, or every other week or every two weeks! The rollout was nuts! 🤦‍♀️❤️ pic.twitter.com/vKr4FBrf07

I loved Kyra Sedgwick in The Closer, but this was hard to watch…

It was great having Kari Lizer back in the game as a show creator and producer but as with all shows you must get the casting right and that did not happen with this show. The reason her previous show, The New Adventures of Old Christine, was a hit was not just because they cast Julia Louis-Dreyfus but because they got ALL the supporting cast right as well. Don't stop trying Kari, I appreciate your sense of humor.

I am not surprised. It was not the worst but the storylines were silly and forced. Not even Sherri Shepard could save this dud and she is usually good as the goofy side kick.

Not surprised by this at all. It really flew under the radar it seems... nobody talked about it.
