Per TVSeriesFinale, the show is the 11th most-watched CBS scripted show this season, with an average of around 5 million viewers an episode. When Mom did not bring in a replacement for Faris, this may have been a sign that the show was winding down. Mom creator Chuck Lorre, of course, managed to keep his prior comedy Two and a Half Men going for four years after firing star Charlie Sheen by bringing in another big-name star, Ashton Kutcher. 'Mom' is ending after Season 8 following Anna Faris' departure from the series. Among the other notable examples is Netflix's House of Cards (though Kevin Spacey left in very different circumstances to Faris), Scrubs, and That '70s Show.
With this cancelation news, Mom becomes the latest show to be canceled in the season after its main actor left the show. While my journey as Christy has come to an end, allowing me to pursue new opportunities, I'll be watching next season and rooting for my TV family." I'm so thankful to Chuck, the writers, and my amazing castmates for creating a truly wonderful work experience. In a statement, she announced she was exiting the show to focus on other opportunities, writing: "The past seven years on Mom have been some of the most fulfilling and rewarding of my career. The departure of Anna Faris from the show may have been a significant factor in the cancelation of the sitcom, as ratings on the series remain respectable-though around a fifth of viewers have stopped watching the show this season, which began with Faris' character Christy starting at Georgetown Law School on a scholarship.įaris had surprised many by announcing she was not returning for Season 8 just weeks before production was set to start on the current set of episodes. The network also announced that the final season would end on Thursday, May 6 at 9 p.m.
CBS has announced that the sitcom starring Allison Janney as a recovering addict would end at the close of its eighth season. Mom has become one of the two CBS shows canceled so far in 2021 alongside NCIS: New Orleans.
