30 Jul 2013

Share on Reddit
Bay & Co. will be back: ABC Family has renewed Switched at Birth for a third season, the network announced Tuesday.

Birth, which is nearing the end of its second season, is “like no other show on television and we are so proud to have it as part of our family,” Kate Juergens, executive VP of original programming and development at ABC Family, said in a statement. “Adding additional seasons and episodes of our returning series spotlights how well our programming resonates with our audience.”

The network has also ordered additional episodes of its freshman summer series The Fosters and Twisted.

  2. What does this mean for the Fosters? More episodes in winter or more than 10 episodes for season 2?

  5. Not surprising for any of these shows. Although, Twisted may end up being in the same situation as The Lying Game when their next renewal comes up if they don't boost their ratings a little.

  6. Yes! They did the same seem with rizzoli and isles, they added winter episodes during the second season. I'm happy they're doing it right away. I'm also hoping they're gonna give us a longer season 2!

  11. Glad the they ordered more episodes of The Fosters&Twisted. Hate that we'll have to wait until January again :/

  12. I'm happy, this show is getting better every week, I wasn't that enthusiastic at first but it grew on me!

  13. The first batch of Twisted is 12 episodes, not 10 like the article says. So I don't know if it'll return for 10 or 12 (like PLL).

  14. Not surprised about SaB. It's a hot for the network, no argument about that. And it is a very decent show to boot.



    I think the additional episodes on the Fosters and Twisted should be taken with a grain of salt though.
    Bunheads and 10TIHAY also got that treatment and it lead nowhere...

    I will be even more disappointed in ABC Family if they cancel Twisted before telling us who killed Regina and all these secrets like they cancelled The Lying Game.

    Glad to see that Twisted and Fosters are coming back! But I think I will have too many shows to watch in January!!

  17. Disappointed, sure. But would you be surprised if it happened that way?

    I'd prefer not to think about the cancellation but it looks like ABC family either renews shows around the time of the finale or waits forever to make the cancellation notice. Lying game season 2 was announced almost 2 months after the finale so that was actually a surprise renewal whereas shows like PLL get renewed halfway through the season. They should have just wrapped it up like with Secret Life (didn't like the ending but at least there was one). I'm hoping that if/when the DVD comes out they tell us what would have happened on Lying Game.

  19. So happy for The Fosters! This show became one of my top favorites really, really fast.

    There are only 11episodes. The week b4 the finale they are giving a recap or encore. The finale will be after the finale for PLL and it is 10 episodes in the winter.

    The Fosters is doing better in ratings right now than SaB. I would say The Fosters is a bigger hit now than SaB. Twisted has lower ratings, so I'm not sure if it will get more seasons. And I think SaB stopped being a hit recently with its decline in ratings.

    I'm happy about The Fosters! I just checked it's recent ratings, and they are really high! The Fosters is getting better ratings than SaB! That's impressive!!!

  23. SaB has proven itself. It's 3 years in... ratings decline as shows grow older is not uncommon.
    The Fosters need to maintain that momentum in the new batch of episodes for it be considered a hit.

  24. Thanks, didn't know about the re-run / recap.

    Actually, ratings declined for SaB by the end of season 1. In the current season, SaB gets between 1.60-1.70 million. The Fosters has been getting 1.87 and above in ratings in the past few weeks. And it actually increased from the time it premiered. So, the viewers are increasing, and it's building a fanbase. While, SaB's ratings just went down. And I think that was due to the writing material such as having Emmett suddenly cheat on Bay and many other ridiculous plot driven storylines that weren't character driven. I think The Fosters is gaining viewers right now because the writers care more about the characters rather than "plots" or "omg" moments like SaB started to do at the end of season 1, hence the decline in ratings. A show is considered a ratings hit when its ratings keep increasing or are steady which is what's going on with The Fosters. After Pretty Little Liars, The Fosters is ABC Family's biggest hit.

  26. Im really happy about Twisted getting more episodes. The quality of ABC Family shows are definitely improving. The Fosters is also starting to grow on me a lot.


    I really don't mind if my favorite shows last for only one or two seasons, but I wish that they could just have decent closure when they end. Not resolving the Lying game was a huge disappointment.

  27. When SaB was a fresh show, in its first season, in the first stretch of episodes (like The Foster is now) it was always well over the 2 mil viewer mark and it was often flirting with 3 million viewers. So in comparison, SaB was doing much much better than TF is doing now.

    Viewership fell in the second part of the season, because yes, for whatever reasons some people decided not to stick with the show, but that is normal and for the most part, and the numbers were still close to 2 million.
    After that the show seems to have hit a plateau, around the 1.7 million mark. That is eyeballs that ABCfamily can count on. It's a steady fanbase that has been with the show since day one, and it's more than decent for ABCfamily. And unless those numbers fall way down the 1.5 million mark I don't see SaB going anywhere, not being considered a hit or a signature show for the network.


    I'm not saying the Fosters isn't doing well. What I said is that it needs to maintain the momentum it currently has in the second part of it's running season to be considered a hit. It is too early in it's run to make that call.

    Demo wise SaB is still abcfamilys second highest rated show after PLL.Total viewers(which don't matter much to networks except for spin/bragging) Fosters is.Fosters had a bunch of 0.6s while 0.6 is SaB low and since it returned, it's been getting 0.7 mainly but the last few episodes since the "Whtat if " episode, SaB ratings have risen helping boost Foster ratings.
