Rita Moreno Says ‘One Day At A Time’ Is Still Fighting For Season 4 Renewal

“One Day at a Time” is still trying to find a new home. Though Netflix canceled the series after three seasons in March, star Rita Moreno says that efforts to revive the show are still going strong.

“We’re still trying. That’s what’s amazing,” Moreno told International Business Times at the Peabody Awards. “I spoke to [executive producer] Norman Lear and Brent Miller, his business partner, and they are still working at it. So, it’s possible.”

Moreno, who was at the New York City ceremony on Saturday to accept the Peabody Award for career achievement, was thrilled that she finally got to work with Lear. Both have been working in the industry since the 1950s, but this was their first time collaborating.

“Probably my favorite thing is that I actually got to work with Norman Lear, that genius,” the 87-year-old told reporters on the red carpet. “I think the thing he said that really just broke my heart is, ‘I guess you’re never too old to have your heart broken.’ Wow, that really killed me. But we’re trying. God knows we’re trying. And I have to tell you, the audience is very, very upset. That’s what’s amazing.”

Fans have rallied for Season 4 on social media with hashtags like #SaveODAAT and #RenewODAAT, and Sony Pictures Television has been shopping “One Day at a Time” around. CBS reportedly wanted the rebooted sitcom to join CBS All Access. However, Netflix’s deal prevents the show from going to another SVOD platform.

Deadline reports that Pop, a basic cable network owned by CBS, is considered the frontrunner for a potential new home. However, the network wouldn’t be able to afford the Justina Machado-led comedy on its own. A multi-network plan is being considered.

“You never know what’ll happen. I think a great deal of that is what Netflix is willing to give up. I think, I’m guessing. So we’ll see,” Moreno added.

“One Day at a Time” was a rebooted version of the series that ran from 1975 to 1984 on CBS. The new version, which quickly became a critical darling, follows a Cuban family living in Los Angeles.
