No Season 3 for the reimagined comedy.
September 15, 2023
It is being reported that ABC has cancelled The Wonder Years after two seasons. The news comes a month after the reimagined coming-of-age comedy wrapped its shortened sophomore run, which at 10 episodes was less than half the length of its first season.
After ranking as one of the network's top comedies of the season in 2021, the half-hour series struggled in Season 2. It is currently ABC's lowest-rated show of the summer despite continued positive reviews from critics and viewers.
Inspired by the 1988 series of the same name, The Wonder Years takes a look back in time at a Black middle-class family in 1960s Montgomery, Alabama, from the point of view of an imaginative 12-year-old named Dean. Narrated by his grown-up self with the wisdom of his adult years, Dean reflects on some of the best years of his life with his family during a turbulent time.

This news is not much of a surprise to me. I think this show would have had a better chance of surviving long-term if they had set it in the late 90's or early 00's. Hollywood strike or no Hollywood strike, "Young Sheldon" is still the best coming-of-age style sitcom of this current era.

Another terrific show taken down by these awful studios. An absolute shame.

Bad programming times by the network. waited till spring to debut 2nd season and then wasn't on every week. Nobody watches stuff in the summer. Really sad. Was a nice counterpoint to the original series. Main kid wasn't really a great actor, but the balance of the cast made up for it

Maybe Fred Savage shouldn't have been fired? Wasn't he at the helm, forgot what he did.

I really like this show, was hoping it would have lasted longer

Oh no, that’s unfortunate! I was really enjoying this show! It was a great way to use the format of the original on a new character and location which made it easier for the show to stand on its own merits. Loved Dule Hill on it especially.
