‘Lopez vs. Lopez’ Renewed for Season 3 at NBC; ‘Extended Family’ Canceled After One Season
As we dive deep into the world of TV, let’s chat about two series that have been catching everyone’s eye. ¿Están listos? We have a lot to cover, from family laughter with a side of drama in “Lopez vs. Lopez” to heartstrings and home runs in “Extended Family”.
First on our list is the sensational “Lopez vs. Lopez”. This show has given us an incredible look at the dynamics of the Lopez family, with a special focus on Mayan Lopez and her padres, including George Lopez, who is rocking his sobriety journey. Alongside the main cast, we see talents like Selenis Leyva, Matt Shively, Brice Gonzalez, and Al Madrigal bringing the story alive with humor and heartfelt moments.
¿Y saben qué? The second season opened with a remarkable 2.3 million viewers tuning in, mira nada más! Throughout the season, the numbers danced between 1.5 and 2.2 million, which is nada mal! NBCUniversal even spilled the beans that across platforms, including Peacock, the show has dazzled over 10 million viewers! And, hold onto your sombreros, because Season 3 is set to light up our screens in the 2024-2025 season. Producers like Debby Wolfe and Bruce Helford, junto con George Lopez himself, are keeping the laughs coming.
Now, switching gears, let’s talk about “Extended Family”. This show serves up a unique take on post-divorce family life with Jim (played by Jon Cryer) and Julia (Abigail Spencer) choosing to raise their kids under one roof while taking turns living there. Imagine, amigos, managing corazones rotos and a shared home! Now, add a twist. Julia finds new amor with Trey (Donald Faison), the owner of Jim’s favorite sports team. Sí, it gets complicado!
Despite its compelling premise, the viewership told a different story. The series kicked off with 710,000 viewers but saw a dip to 330,000 by the second episode, and never quite picked up, staying below the 300,000 mark. Ay, qué lástima! However, creativity flourished under the guidance of Mike O’Malley and a team including Jon Cryer and Tom Werner, backed by powerhouses Universal Television and Lionsgate.
Now, while “Extended Family” struggled to keep the viewers hooked, “Lopez vs. Lopez” has definitely carved a niche in the corazones of its audience with its relatable and comedic portrayal of family life with a Latino twist. Both shows, with their ups and downs, showcase the variety and richness of narratives shaping today’s television landscape.
So, amigos, whether you’re in for some family-centric comedy or a drama-filled twist on household arrangements, there’s a lot on the menu to keep you entertained. Y recuerden, each show, regardless of the ratings, brings a unique sabor to our screens, so why not give them a try? ¡Hasta la próxima, mi gente!
