Young and Hungry will be ending after season 5 after Freeform decided to cancel the series and not proceed with a movie. Many fans across different social media channels have taken to the platforms to ask Netflix to revive their show. It’s no surprise they’re asking Netflix after the streaming provider has notably revived many fan-favorite shows such as the recently revived Lucifer.
The long-running series Young & Hungry has been airing on Freeform since 2014. New seasons have come to Netflix regularly, making Netflix the provider of choice for watching new, older episodes of the show.
The fifth season of Young & Hungry was to serve as the last, with Freeform announcing the cancellation but adding that there would be a movie to round out the series and end the story. Unfortunately, this movie won’t be coming to fruition, as Freeform TV went back on the word and canceled the movie. Emily Osment took to Twitter to announce that a future series and movie won’t be happening.
Because a movie was expected, the show didn’t quite wrap up how fans had hoped to leave some big plot holes open. This has led to disappointment from the fans, who have begun reaching out to other networks, including Netflix, in the hopes of getting on to revive the show either for a new season or the promised movie released.
We don’t know why Freeform decided not to proceed. The reason most shows don’t get renewed is usually related to money and viewing figures.
As we mentioned above, Netflix has helped revive multiple shows. This year, it revived Lucifer, a fan favorite. Other campaigns for Netflix to revive shows include Shadowhunters and Designated Survivor.
