Why ‘Good Trouble’ won’t be getting a well-deserved Season 6

As fans bid farewell to Freeform’s beloved series Good Trouble, the conclusion of its fifth season marked the end of an era for the Adams-Foster family and their community.

Despite its dedicated fan base and compelling storylines, the decision to end the show after Season 5 has left many wondering why this impactful series won’t be returning for a much-anticipated sixth season.

Let’s explore the reasons behind this unexpected farewell.

‘Good Trouble’ is officially over

Good Trouble‘s series finale brought closure to several storylines, culminating in a heartfelt goodbye to the residents of The Coterie as they faced the reality of the building’s sale and their impending relocation.

For protagonists Callie and Mariana, portrayed by Maia Mitchell and Cierra Ramirez respectively, the finale served as a poignant reflection on their decade-long journey together, highlighting their growth and enduring friendship.

The decision to conclude Good Trouble after its fifth season came as a surprise to many, including showrunner Joanna Johnson.

Despite the initial anticipation for Season 6, the impact of prolonged strikes within the entertainment industry and financial pressures on networks led to the cancellation of the series.

The abrupt end left the creators scrambling to provide a proper farewell to fans, with Johnson and the team reworking the finale to offer closure amidst the unexpected conclusion.

In a testament to the resilience of the cast and crew, Good Trouble managed to deliver an expanded 90-minute finale, allowing for additional scenes that encapsulated the essence of the series and provided a heartfelt send-off to its characters.

The opportunity to reunite for these final moments was deeply emotional for everyone involved, underscoring the lasting impact of the show on its creators and audience alike.

While plans for a potential Season 6 were discussed, including incorporating messaging around the upcoming election, the cancellation of Good Trouble signaled the end of an era for the series and its dedicated fan base.

While the journey of Good Trouble may have come to an end, its impact will continue to resonate with viewers who found solace and inspiration in its compelling narrative.
