ABC Cancels 'Speechless,' 'The Kids Are Alright,' and 'Splitting Up Together'
After three seasons, "Speechless" has been canceled by ABC.
The comedy stars Minnie Driver as a mother who will do anything for her children, especially oldest son JJ (Micah Fowler), who has cerebral palsy.
Scott Silveri (a producer on "Friends" and "Joey"), created the series and served as showrunner.
It costarred Cedric Yarbrough, John Ross Bowie, Mason Cook and Kyla Kenedy.
This past season was ranked the lowest rated of the network’s scripted series.
ABC also pulled the plug on "Splitting Up Together" (starring Jenna Fischer and Oliver Hudson) and "The Kids Are Alright," about an Irish-Catholic family trying to raise their eight kids during the 1970s, which featured "The Walking Dead" alum Michael Cudlitz.
