The Goldbergs' extra four episodes doesn't mean Season 9 is the final season

TheWrap

While the ABC sitcom's fate hasn't been decided, Craig Erwich, president of ABC Entertainment and Hulu Originals, cleared up speculation that the recently added four episodes in wake of Jeff Garlin's exit are meant to be part of the show's swan song. When asked by The Wrap if the backorder was evidence that the series is being retooled to wrap up with its current season, Erwich replied: “No. We had an opportunity for more episodes. The show is doing really well. It was purely a scheduling decision.”
