The Goldbergs has been a popular series on ABC, which is currently in its eighth run. However, after hearing the heartbreaking news, fans wondered if The Goldbergs Season 9 ever happen. Well, this family has always made us laugh through its iconic comedy and full of heart story. Now, after the loss, the showrunner confirmed to return with a short tribute. But it’s unclear whether the ninth season is on the cards.
The Goldbergs has been on air since 2013 and touched many hearts. It centers on the showrunner Adam F. Goldberg’s childhood in the 1980s. Over the seasons, the series focused on the era’s pop culture in non-chronological form. Well, each season follows some reference which adult Adam narrates, while many connections to real-life Philadelphia with many 1980s cultural icons guest stars.
The Goldbergs Season 9: Has It Renewed For The Next Run?
As of now, ABC hasn’t announced The Godlbergs Season 9. But it doesn’t mean that season 8 would mark the end to Adam F. Goldberg’s family drama. ABC hadn’t even renewed the eighth season when the seventh season wrapped up. So, we can expect the same to happen with the ninth season.
The production for the eighth season halted due to the ongoing pandemic. But it later started airing back in October and is still underway. The previous seasons of The Goldbergs ran nearly around 22 or 23 episodes. So, it’s entirely possible that fans could expect some more episodes to come this year. Thus, it’s pretty early to speculate on The Goldbergs Season 9.
Will George Segal’s Character Die In The Goldbergs?
Sadly, The Goldbergs star George Segal, 87, died this Tuesday in Santa Rosa, CA. The reason for his demise was complexities from bypass surgery. For the past eight seasons, Segal played Albert “Pops” Solomon, a series regular on the 1980s-set dramedy. The Goldbergs paid tribute to Segal in the recent episode that aired yesterday. It featured Segal in an In Memoriam video card that contained Segal Goldbergs’ character picture and his year of birth and death (1934-2021).
However, episode 16 was the last episode he filmed before his departure. The Goldbergs Season 8 Episode 16, titled “Couple Off,” will air on April 7. However, it’s unclear whether the showrunner would introduce his character’s death in the upcoming chapters as the show is filming its season finale this week.
