ABC wants to keep the tears coming next season. The network has announced that they have renewed A Million Little Things for a second season. The announcement was made at their TCA presentation.
On A Million Little Things, they say friendship isn’t one big thing, it’s a million little things, and that’s true for a group of friends from Boston who bonded under unexpected circumstances. Some have achieved success, others are struggling in their careers and relationships, but all of them feel stuck in life. After one of them dies unexpectedly, it’s just the wake-up call the others need to finally start living. Along the way, they discover that friends may be the one thing to save them from themselves. The series stars David Giuntoli as Eddie Saville, Ron Livingston as Jon Dixon, Romany Malco as Rome Howard, Allison Miller as Maggie Bloom, Christina Moses as Regina Howard, Christina Ochoa as Ashley Morales, Grace Park as Katherine Kim, James Roday as Gary Mendez, Stephanie Szostak as Delilah Dixon, Lizzy Greene as Sophie Dixon and Tristan Byon as Theo Saville.
It’s very clear ABC wanted A Million Little Things to succeed. The series initially aired Wednesday nights at 10 PM and did ok in the slot but has performed even better since its move to Thursday night behind Grey’s Anatomy. The series is averaging 6.5 million viewers & a 1.6 demo score in the 18-49 after delayed viewing is factored in. Speaking of delayed viewing, the show is, buoyed by big delayed-viewing bumps. Its promising performance caught the attention of ABC brass who moved it to the coveted post-Grey’s Anatomy slot last month where it has been tying/setting new series highs. Outside of Roseanne spinoff The Conners, A Million Little Things is the highest rated new ABC series and the network’s third highest-rated drama behind Grey’s and The Good Doctor (tied with Station 19).
