According to TVLine, the fifth and final season of the ABC drama A Million Little Things will serve as the series finale. DJ Nash, ABC, and ABC Signature/Kapital Entertainment are said to have “mutually” chosen to end production.
There has been no official word from the network as of yet. The drama, which had previously aired in the fall, will now air in the middle of the television season.
When discussing the Season 4 finale with TV Insider, Nash addressed the decision to reduce the number of episodes.
“[Executive producer Terrence Coli] and I, having done 38 episodes really back to back — we were still editing Season 3 when the Season 4 writers room started — were really looking forward to having a little bit of break, to catch our breath and perhaps doing a shorter episode count this season,” the creator said.
We haven’t settled on a set number of episodes yet, but we’ve talked about how many there should be, and it turns out that our guess and theirs were dead on (An episode count still has yet to be announced.)
A Million Little Things Season 5 Cast
Although ABC has yet to announce Season 5 casting, the core cast of A Million Little Things is expected to return, including David Giuntoli (Eddie Saville), Romany Malco (Rome Howard), Allison Miller (Maggie Bloom), Christina Moses (Regina Howard), Grace Park (Katherine Saville), James Roday Rodriguez (Gary Mendez), Tristan Byon (Theo Saville), Lizzy Greene (Sophie Dixon), and Chance Hurstfield (Danny Dixon).
Whether or not Stephanie Szostak will return as Delilah Dixon after she was last seen in the Season 3 finale is currently unknown.
Nash told TVLine in September 2021 that Delilah’s first absence from the program was due to COVID travel constraints, but that Szostak will still be a recurrent guest star throughout Season 4.
(The actor’s relatives live in Connecticut, although filming takes place in British Columbia.) Nash told TVLine in September 2021, “[Szostak] has, for the first two seasons, lived away from her boys and from her husband,” due to Canada’s mandated 14-day quarantine for international tourists.
She responded, “I really need to be with my family more, I don’t want to do all the episodes,” so we wrote her out for Season 3 with the assumption that she would return.
As her character is still in France as of the penultimate episode of Season 4, the actor has yet to appear, but it seems unlikely that she wouldn’t return in some capacity for the show’s possible final season.

A Million Little Things’ cancellation begs the question: why?
TVLine said that DJ Nash, the network, and ABC Signature/Kapital Entertainment all agreed to cancel the show, despite no official word coming from either party.
The publication has heard that the show ends in a “creatively rewarding” way. Around the time of the Season 5 pickup, creator DJ said, “There’s no question we were a bubble show.”
But the ABC creative team as a whole was extremely enthusiastic and eager to make [season 5] a reality. And we knew that without it, our fans would be like, “You can’t conclude a series like that!” so we made sure to make it happen. ‘”
The producers of A Million Little Things were reportedly urged by ABC to not write the Season 4 finale as a series finale in order to leave the door open for a possible fifth season, as reported by Deadline.
At the end of the day, the show’s creators agreed to a Season 5 pickup with the stipulation that it would be the last.
A Million Little Things Season 5 Release Date
The program was revived for a second season by ABC on May 13, 2022. In any event, the Season 4 Finale of A Million Little Things will air on May 18, 2022.
To ask when the premiere of Season 5 of A Million Tad Things will be is, however, a bit premature. Precedent suggests the upcoming season will debut in the middle to late September 9, 2023.
