With the fourth season of Family Law underway, fans are eager to know about the show’s future, specifically whether it has been renewed for a fifth season. As the Canadian legal drama continues to impress viewers, here’s a breakdown of the show’s present renewal status.
Has The CW canceled Family Law Season 4 or renewed it?
Family Law has neither been canceled nor renewed for Season 5. The status of the show hangs in the balance at the moment. It has not been cancelled, and may be renewed after the network assesses the response to the fourth season. Renewals typically depend on both audience reception and viewership numbers.
As the fourth season is still ongoing, there is still plenty of time for the showrunners or the network to announce a new season. Earlier this year, The CW picked up the show for a fourth season. This suggests that the viewership numbers are quite consistent even in 2025. If this is the case, chances of a renewal are high.
Family Law, created by Susin Nielsen, follows Abigail Bianchi, a recovering alcoholic and lawyer. She returns to work with her dysfunctional family after getting suspended. It stars Jewel Staite in the leading role, alongside Victor Garber, Zach Smadu, Genelle Williams, and Lauren Holly, among others.
As the fourth season of the show is still going on, there hasn’t been much talk about a Family Law Season 5. The narrative seemingly isn’t going to wrap up in the final episodes of Season 4. If the latest installment leaves loose ends in the storyline or ends in a cliffhanger, the demand for a renewal will be present.
Presently, The CW has yet to announce whether they are going forward with Family Law Season 5. The fourth season, meanwhile, continues to air on Wednesdays at 8 PM EST on The CW in the United States.
