ABC has decided to pull the cord on Home Economics.
After three seasons, Deadline reports ABC has given the ax to the comedy while the new drama High Potential has been officially moved to fall 2024.
Created by Michael Colton and John Aboud, Home Economics premiered in 2021 and starred Topher Grace, Caitlin McGee, Jimmy Tatro, Karla Souza and Sasheer Zamata. The series, which was inspired by Colton’s real-life experiences, chronicled the lives and dynamics of three siblings.
Colton and Aboud executive produced Home Economics alongside Grace and Eric and Kim Tannenbaum.
“Making 42 episodes of Home Economics has been the best experience of my career, and that’s due to our incredible cast, crew and fans,” Colton wrote on Instagram. “Though the show has run its course at ABC, I’m hopeful the Hayworths will pop up somewhere else, if only so I can continue to embarrass my real-life family. Thank you to those who’ve reached out and expressed your love and support of the show. #LupeForever
Meanwhile, High Potential which was set to launch during the 2023-2024 season, was pushed back due to the writers’ strike. Based on the popular French detective series HIP (High Intellectual Potential), the series is slated to star Kaitlyn Olson and Daniel Sunjata.
Home Economics follows the likes of Alaska Daily, Big Sky and The Company You Keep as one of the many shows canceled by ABC in 2023.
