ABC has given a Back 9 order to new comedy series American Housewife, bringing its freshman run to a full-season 22 episodes. The pickup comes after four airings of the single-camera comedy, from ABC Studios and Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment. Meanwhile sophomore ABC comedy The Real O’Neals has received a three-episode back order, bringing its second season to 16 episodes.
American Housewife has been a breakout for ABC.

In the most recent Live+3 ratings available, American Housewife logged a 2.1 in adults 18-49.
Overall, American Housewives has ranked as Tuesday’s No. 1 comedy this season in Total Viewers (7.7 million) and Adults 18-49 (2.4). It is improving its 8:30 PM time period year-to-year by 2.1 million viewers and by +9% in Adults 18-49.
