Comedy Home Economics has been canceled after three seasons, but at least one of its creators has hope it may yet surface somewhere else.
Mike Colton posted to Instagram today to thank everyone for the experience. He followed co-creator John Aboud‘s Friday post on the subject.
“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,” wrote Colton. “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
Home Economics, which stars Topher Grace and comes from Michael Colton and John Aboud, ran from 2021-23 on ABC. It was on the bubble for a renewal and there had been some hope that it could return after the Disney-owned network extended the cast options beyond the June 30 deadline.
It is produced by Lionsgate and ABC Signature.
The series, inspired by Colton’s real-life experiences, documents the uncomfortable yet heartwarming relationships of three siblings in very different situations: one in the ultra-rich, one in the middle class, and one scraping by.
It also stars Caitlin McGee, Jimmy Tatro, Karla Souza, Sasheer Zamata, Shiloh Bearman, Jordyn Curet, Chloe Jo Rountree and JeCobi Swain.
Colton and Aboud serve as executive producers alongside Grace and Eric and Kim Tannenbaum of The Tannenbaum Company, whose Jason Wang co-executive produces along with Tucker Cawley and Julieanne Smolinski. Dean Holland directed the pilot and multiple episodes and also serves as an executive producer.
