CBS is sticking with its popular and critically acclaimed sitcom, Mom. The comedy has been renewed for season six by the network.
With the renewal of Mom, all three of the Chuck Lorre comedies on the network have been renewed. The Big Bang Theory was renewed for season 12 and Young Sheldon scored an early season 2 renewal after airing its first episode.
Mom, starring Anna Faris as well as Emmy — and now Oscar — winner Allison Janney, recently marked its 100th episode. It is currently averaging over 11 million viewers and is the third most-watched comedy in broadcast television, behind only Lorre’s two other shows, The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon, and is a top 5 comedy among both adults 25-54 and adults 18-49.
With Mom‘s renewal, CBS has picked up its entire current Thursday lineup for next season with the exception of Life In Pieces. That includes comedies Big Bang, Young Sheldon and Mom and freshman drama S.W.A.T. Also given an early renewal by CBS is new drama SEAL Team.
