ABC Cancels American Housewife, Rebel, Mixed-ish, & For Life

Following today’s earlier announcement that ABC had renewed a handful of fan-favorite series, the network has revealed that American Housewife, Rebel, Mixed-ish, and For Life have been canceled, according to TVLine. It was previously announced that Kyra Sedgwick’s sitcom Call Your Mother had also been canceled after one season.

American Housewife, created by Sarah Dunn, aired for five seasons and starred Katy Mixon as a mother of three raising her flawed family in a wealthy Connecticut town. The series also starred Diedrich Bader, Meg Donnelly, Ali Wong, and Daniel DiMaggio.

Rebel, the crime drama starring Golden Globe winner Katey Sagal (Sons of Anarchy), was canceled after only five episodes into its freshman run. The series was inspired by the real-life activist Erin Brockovich and was created by Emmy nominee Krista Vernoff. Rebel centers on Annie “Rebel” Bello (Sagal), a blue-collar legal advocate without a law degree. She’s a funny, messy, brilliant, and fearless woman who cares desperately about the causes she fights for and the people she loves. When Rebel applies herself to a fight she believes in, she will win at almost any cost. The series also stars Andy Garcia, John Corbett, James Lesure, Lex Scott Davis, Tamala Jones, Ariela Barer, Kevin Zegers, and Sam Palladio.

Black-ish spinoff Mixed-ish has been canceled after two seasons on the network. From Emmy nominees Peter Saji and Kenya Barris, and Golden Globe winner Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish), the comedy follows Rainbow Johnson, played by Arica Himmel with Ross narrating, as she recounts her experience growing up in a mixed-race family in the ‘80s and the constant dilemmas they had to face over whether to assimilate or stay true to themselves. The series also stars Tika Sumpter, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Christina Anthony, Ethan William Childress, Mykal-Michelle Harris, and Gary Cole.
