‘Baby Daddy’ Renewed For Fifth Season By ABC Family
As production wraps on Season 4, ABC Family said today it has renewed its flagship comedy series Baby Daddy for a fifth season.
The renewal comes amid strong ratings for the series. Returning with one-year highs for its Winter Season 4 premiere across target demos, to date, Baby Daddy ranks as cable TV’s No. 1 series on Wednesdays at 8:30 PM in Adults 18-34, Women 18-34 and Females 12-34 and is the No. original cable TV telecast in Women 18-49 (616,000/1.0 ).
Jean-Luc Bilodeau, Derek Theler, Tahj Mowry, star along with Melissa Peterman and Chelsea Kane. It follows five adults at various stages of growing up. Ben (Bilodeau) was living the bachelor life in New York City with his buddy Tucker (Mowry) and his brother, Danny (Theler), a professional hockey player, until his life was turned upside down when a baby girl was left on the doorstep by one of Ben’s one-night stands. Ben is now raising Baby Emma (Kayleigh Harris & Sura Harris) with help from Tucker, Danny, his mother, Bonnie (Peterman), and his childhood friend Riley, (Kane) who’s been in love with Ben forever. Now that Emma is older, everyone must cope with the many challenges of parenting a one-year-old who is walking and talking.
Baby Daddy is created and executive-produced by Dan Berendsen.
“Comedy is an important part of ABC Family’s make-up,” said Karey Burke, Executive Vice President, Programming & Development. “We’re excited to see where Dan (Berendsen, Creator/Executive Producer) takes these lovable characters and look forward to more great comedy from the cast.”
