After giving a 2 season renewal to Modern Family yesterday, ABC has done the same with The Goldbergs. The comedy series has been renewed for season 5 and 6 by the network.
The two-year deal, which matches the two-season renewals for flagship ABC comedy Modern Family and CBS’ The Big Bang Theory, came after a tough negotiation between ABC and Sony Pictures Televisionn, which produces The Goldbergs.
The autobiographical The Goldbergs, created/executive produced by Adam F. Goldberg, is ABC’s second-highest-rated comedy series in adults 18-49 behind Modern Family, averaging a 2.1 rating in Live+7. The 1980s comedy, which had a tough start on Tuesday in its first season, had blossomed since joining ABC’s Wednesday comedy block and has done well as the block’s new 8 PM anchor this season.
The Goldbergs stars Wendi McLendon-Covey, Jeff Garlin, Sean Giambrone, Troy Gentile, Hayley Orrantia and George Segal. Goldberg, Doug Robinson, Seth Gordon, Alex Barnow, Marc Firek, David Guarascio and David Katzenberg executive produce for Sony TV and studio-based Happy Madison.
