‘2 Broke Girls’ Season 7 Not Picked Up Amid CBS’ Decision To Order 6 New Shows
“2 Broke Girls” has officially been canceled after six seasons by CBS.
According to Deadline, one of the main reasons the sitcom starring Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs was axed was because CBS had no ownership of the series. However, executive producer Michelle Nader previously told TV Line that there’s hope for a Season 7 renewal. “This is not the end for these girls. We’re not finished and we don’t want to be finished and I don’t think the audience is finished. Obviously there’s no guarantee that we will be back, but we did not write the episode as a series finale,” she said.

The final episode for “2 Broke Girls” Season 6, which aired last month, saw the release of Caroline’s (Behrs) biopic. Max’s (Dennings) ex-boyfriend, Randy (Ed Quinn), asked her to marry him.
After the episode aired, Nader told TV Line during a separate interview that it has always been her goal to eventually bring Randy and Max together even before “2 Broke Girls” landed in the bubble. “It represents growth for this character to be in a romantic relationship. She’s learned so much in terms of trusting people, and we wanted there to be some kind of reward for her taking a chance on love,” she said.
Unfortunately, fans will no longer see Randy and Max actually tie the knot. Nader said that on top of Max and Randy marrying each other, another huge storyline for Season 7 would’ve been Caroline’s reaction to this new dynamic. Max and Caroline have been best friends for several years and have gone through a lot together. The two characters are also used to just being with each other, and Max marrying Randy could shake their bond. On top of this, Randy and Caroline’s boyfriend, Bobby (Christopher Gorham), don’t get along so Max and Caroline’s time together could be lessened.
Nader added that Season 6 served as a “reboot” for the show because the storylines focused on Max and Caroline finally becoming successful in their personal and professional lives. In order to tell more of their story, the executive producer said that they have a creative urge to continue doing the show. “CBS has been really supportive of so and so we believe that they’ll want to see more of these girls,” she said.
Unfortunately, CBS didn’t renew the sitcom amid the network’s decision to order six new shows to TV. According to TV Line, formal series orders for “SEAL Team,” “Instinct,” “S.W.A.T.” and “Wisdom of the Crowd” have already been handed out. On the comedy side, the network has ordered “9JKL” and “Me, Myself & I.” As of late, it is still unclear when the six new shows will premiere on CBS, but it will most likely be released in the fall or sometime early next year.
CBS has also picked up the highly-anticipated “Big Bang Theory” spinoff, “Young Sheldon,” starring “Big Little Lies” actor Iain Armitage. He will be playing the role of Sheldon Cooper, and “Big Bang Theory” star Jim Parsons will be narrating the show.
