In case you haven't heard the good news, One Day at a Time [1] has been saved from cancellation by POP TV [2]! The network, which is home to the beloved comedy Schitt's Creek [3], has picked up the modern-day remake of the Norman Lear sitcom for season four, and the cast and creators of the series are understandably over the moon.
As a reminder, Netflix pulled the plug on the show [4] after just three seasons. The series stars Justina Machado as a veteran and newly divorced matriarch of a Cuban-American family living in the same house, which includes her teenage daughter, Elena (Isabella Gomez); her tween son, Alex (Marcel Ruiz); and her absolutely fabulous mother, Lydia (played by the equally fabulous Rita Moreno). Despite the presence of an old-school laugh track, One Day at a Time has proven again and again that it should be taken just as seriously as any prestige drama.
Showrunner Gloria Calderón Kellett shared the exciting update with fans on Twitter [5] on June 27, writing, "WE'RE BACK! Thanks to every fan who made #saveodaat trend worldwide, ONE DAY AT A TIME is heading to POP TV & we couldn't be more excited! We have many more stories to tell about & we can't wait to share them with you!"
See how the rest of the cast, including Gomez and Moreno, reacted to the renewal ahead.
