ABC will likely announce season 5 for American Housewife
The news has yet to be officially announced by ABC, but American Housewife could be laughing all the way to Season 5. ABC has ordered six more episodes of the comedy, extending its current fourth season to a full-season of 22 episodes.
The extension likely has far-reaching implications, as this full-season pickup is seen as an extremely positive indicator for Season 5 renewal. However, as of today, ABC completed airing current season on 5/13/20; has yet to be renewed for season 5.
ABC has additionally handed positive renewal vibes to Bless This Mess, which has also been given a full-season pickup.

As Katie Otto, Katy Mixon delivers a welcome comedic relief with her acerbic take on life. These are two of the funniest, sharpest fish-out-of-water comedies on television.

I was late to party. I only began watching this series this season. Rarely does a show make me laugh out loud. American Housewife does it many times a show. Oliver in particular is hysterically funny. I have caught up with all episodes seasons 1 to present. I hope we have many years of AH to come. I can not wait for the Oliver applies to Ivy League schools.
Although Johnny Sequoyah played Taylor, it was for the pilot only. Meg Donnelly actually plays the Taylor character.
