NBC cancels Good Girls after four seasons

Deadline

The crime dramedy starring Christina Hendricks, Retta and Mae Whitman created by Jenna Bans will end after its five remaining episodes air in the coming weeks. "The hope was that the network and the studio could find a way to return for one more season to close out the story, but they were unable to make the financials works," reports Deadline's Nellie Andreeva. Universal Television won't shop the show elsewhere, even though its first three seasons have performed well on Netflix, even topping Nielsen's Streaming Top 10 in March. The canceletion comes after Good Girls returned last night with two episodes after a month-long hiatus. The series finale is scheduled for July 22. Mae Whitman and Christina Hendricks reacted to the cancelation on social media. "Well, we gave it our all," wrote Hendricks. "We really did. Thank you to our amazing fans through the years for all your passion and support."
