MOM to End with Season 8

MOM will end at the end of its current season, CBS announced.

“For the past eight years, we’ve had the great honor to bring these wonderful characters to life, sharing their struggles and triumphs with millions of viewers every week,” said executive producers Chuck Lorre, Gemma Baker and Nick Bakay in a statement. “From the beginning, we set out to tell stories about recovery from alcoholism and addiction that are rarely portrayed in a network comedy series. Whether it was the emotional reactions of the live audience on tape night inside Stage 20, or discussions at The White House regarding the opioid crisis, or the personal stories we continue to receive on social media, we take great pride in knowing MOM has positively impacted so many lives. We are forever grateful to our brilliant cast and guest stars, wonderful writers, and amazing crew for going on this journey with us.”

“Since its premiere, MOM has touched people’s lives by sensitively tackling weighty yet relatable topics, with a perfect, deft touch,” addd Kelly Kahl, President, CBS Entertainment. “MOM redefined what a comedy can be, and we are proud to have been the network home to this wonderful series. We are deeply grateful to Chuck Lorre and his tremendously creative production team, helmed by Gemma Baker and Nick Bakay, and the amazingly talented cast, led by the phenomenal Allison Janney.”

“Chuck, Gemma, Eddie and Nick have created a beautiful series with storylines depicting the real-life struggles and successes of those in recovery,” Warner Bros. said. “We are deeply proud of the MOM cast, crew and writers for the impact their work has had, and will continue to have, on viewers around the world, and we thank our partners at CBS for enabling these stories to be told.”

The comedy underwent a major change this season, as series co-lead Anna Faris left. The comedy stars Allison Janney, Jaime Pressly, Mimi Kennedy, Beth Hall, William Fichtner, and Kristen Johnston.

MOM’s series finale will air Thursday, May 6.
