ABC’s family comedy will not be back for the seventh season.
Multiple outlets confirm that Fresh Off the Boat has been canceled by the network. The show’s six seasons-run will come to an end with the series finale that will air on February 21.
The series was created by Nahnatchka Khan and based on a memoir by Eddie Huan. It followed the Huang family who move from Washington, D.C.’s Chinatown, to Orlando in the mid-1990s.
“We couldn’t be prouder of this game-changing show and the impact it has had on our cultural landscape,” Karey Burke, president of ABC Entertainment said. “The success of Fresh Off the Boat has helped pave the way for inclusion throughout the industry. Nahnatchka Khan and her brilliant creative team have created an unforgettable series with an Asian-American family front and center, something that hadn’t been done in two decades. The cast, led by Randall Park and Constance Wu, is one of the finest and funniest on television. We’ll miss the Huang family and are eternally grateful for the incredibly heartfelt stories they have told these past six seasons.”
