ABC is enjoying living the single life. The network has given a full season order to its freshman comedy, Single Parents. The back-nine order brings the season one episode count to 22 episodes.
Single Parents is the first freshman comedy of the season to receive a back-nine order. The series trails only Tuesday’s debut of ABC’s The Conners in comedy premieres this season, though that doesn’t say a whole lot. New half-hours have struggled particularly hard this fall. Still, the show has earned an average of 5.6 million viewers and a 1.5 rating among adults 18-49 through its first three episodes.
Single Parents is an ensemble comedy that follows a group of single parents as they lean on each other to help raise their 7-year-old kids and maintain some kind of personal lives outside of parenthood. The series stars Taran Killam as Will Cooper, Leighton Meester as Angie D’Amato, Kimrie Lewis as Poppy Banks, Jake Choi as Miggy Park, Marlow Barkley as Sophie Cooper, Tyler Wladis as Graham D’Amato, Devin Trey Campbell as Rory Banks, Mia Allan as Emma Fogerty, Ella Allan as Amy Fogerty and Brad Garrett as Douglas Fogerty.
