The Goldbergs on ABC Ending After 10 Seasons
After 10 seasons, The Goldbergs, the longest-running live-action comedy on air, will end in May. The cancellation news follows tremendous casting changes with Jeff Garlin’s departure and George Segal’s death. Garlin left the series after a series of HR investigations revealed misconduct allegations. Segal passed away due to complications from bypass surgery.
Rising production costs and declining ratings are most likely to blame for the cancellation of The Goldbergs. ABC signed new deals with The Goldbergs star/EP Wendi McLendon-Covey and fellow original cast members a year ago, allowing them to return for a proper sendoff.

Craig Erwich, president of ABC Entertainment, stated, “We are so proud of the 10 years we were able to spend with The Goldbergs. This is an incredible team, and we’re so thankful for the joy and entertainment they brought to so many over this time. We look forward to celebrating their final chapter along with the fans in the weeks ahead.”
The show’s star Wendi McLendon-Covey reflected, “It’s been an honor to be part of The Goldbergs for the last decade. I’m really proud of what we accomplished with the show, and I’m so lucky to have had such a rewarding experience. I will miss my TV family and every last crew member.”

McLendon-Covey added, “Thanks to our brilliant writers for giving us thoughtful story arcs year after year, and for being so collaborative. Thanks to the best EPs in the business. And thanks to all our fans (the Goldnerds) for being so sweet and supportive. My heart is full…But I definitely hope I never see another pair of shoulder pads for the rest of my life.”
Seasons 1-9 of The Goldbergs are available to stream on HULU. The series finale will air on ABC on May 3. Are you sad to say goodbye to The Goldbergs? Please let us know what you think in a comment.
