The next seasons of “Parks & Recreation”, “Parenthood” and will be each show’s respective swan song.
“Parks & Recreation” showrunner Michael Shur announced that his show’s seventh season will be the final season. It sounds very much like it was a unanimous decision to end the show here.
The 7th season of #ParksandRec will be our last (100% mutual between. creative team and network). Sad, but happy, and excited. See you soon!

We felt it was time to bring #ParksandRec to a close. NBC has been nothing but supportive. A happy network TV story.

It didn’t look like “Parenthood” would be returning at all for a while there, with much of the cast holding out for more cash. Alas, they’ve all agreed on a number that will get the main ensemble back for a sixth and final season – consisting of 13 episodes.
The show returns in the Fall.
TBS’s “Cougar Town” has also been renewed for a sixth and final season. The newly-commissioned 13 episodes will bring the show to 100 eps, meaning it’ll be ripe and ready for syndication.
“Cougar Town” originally aired on ABC.
