One Day at a Time Will Officially Return in March 2020—Here's What We Know

From Oprah Magazine

• Season 4 of One Day at a Time will premiere on Pop TV in 2020.

• The confirmation news came after Netflix decided to cancel the show earlier this year.

• After the cast attended the Vulture Film festival, cast member Isabella Gomez confirmed the official release date of March 2020.

Hello, my fellow One Day at a Time fans. I welcome you here with open arms and a hug, as we've all been on quite the emotional rollercoaster ride together.

First, we fell in love with the hilarious, lighthearted series about the Alvarezes, a Cuban family in Los Angeles comprised of their matriarch, Penelope (played by Justina Machado), teenagers Elena (Isabella Gomez) and Alex (Marcel Ruiz), and their always dramatic abuela, played expertly by Rita Moreno.

And then we indulged in the series for three seasons on Netflix...until the news broke earlier this year that the show had been canceled. Canceled! So that meant that there would be no season 4 of One Day at a Time—one of the few shows on television with a Latina showrunner and a Latin cast and storyline that also progressively tackles topical issues like veteran PTSD, LGBTQ rights, and immigration. And, well, it's also just so damn delightful. So the cancelation was heartbreaking, indeed—so much so, in fact, that angry fans quickly took to social media to sing the series' praises with the hashtag #ODAAT, garnering support from celebrities like Lin Manuel-Miranda.

But now, dear fans, our rollercoaster ride is on the up again, and we have something to celebrate: One Day at a Time is confirmed to be coming back for a season 4 on March! That's right: While we have a major bone to pick with Netflix for letting this series go, luckily for us, it's found a new home. And thanks to Gomez, we even have an official release date:

Yup: According to Gomez, One Day at a Time will return in March 2020. Not only that, but series writer Mike Royce announced back in October that the show is officially in progress, with a photo showing off that the writer's room is officially up and running:

Hallelujah. Can't wait to see what the Alvarez family gets up to. While we wait for more news, here's everything we know so far about One Day at a Time season 4 so far.

Wait, so...why did One Day at a Time get canceled on Netflix?

The streaming service rarely releases viewership numbers, so we don't know for sure how many people were—or weren't—watching the series, but we do know that low viewership was the reason Netflix gave One Day at a Time the axe.

"This was a very difficult decision, and we're thankful to all the fans who've supported the series, our partners at Sony and all the critics who embraced it," Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said in a statement back in March. "While it's disappointing that more viewers didn't discover One Day at a Time, I believe the series will stand the test of time."

So is it 100 percent confirmed that One Day at a Time is returning?

Yup! In June, Pop TV—a cable channel owned by CBS that also airs the cult favorite series Schitt's Creek—announced that they were picking up the series for a fourth season, with 13 episodes planned. The network's president, Brad Schwartz, said in an announcement that Pop TV was happy to be the new home to the "brilliant and culturally significant series."

Will the entire cast be returning now that the show is on Pop TV?

It seems like the answer is yes! While Pop didn't mention too many specifics about season 4 in their announcement, the series' star Justina Machado posted her excitement on Instagram and included a cast photo with the caption: "Happy Friday mi Gente ❤️❤️ #AlvarezFamily #Season4 coming to you in 2020 on @poptv @sptv."

When does One Day at a Time season 4 premiere?

The good news: Pop TV did confirm we will be getting 13 more episodes. The bad news: We'll have to wait until 2020, which Pop announced back in June. But we now have an official release date of March 2020, thanks to Isabella Gomez, who plays Elena. And in the meantime to hold you over, you can binge watch...

Is there a One Day at a Time season 4 trailer?

Not yet. But don't worry: Just like you guys, I'm a superfan, so as soon as there's any news, you'll hear it here first.

Can I still binge watch episodes of One Day at a Time on Netflix?

Yes! Seasons one through three are still available on the streaming service, and you can catch all the episodes here.

How can I watch One Day at a Time on Pop?

Pop TV is a channel available on most cable TV providers—and you can also tune in on their app! I'll see you and the Alvarez family there in 2020.
