One Day At A Time Season 4: Renewed, Production To Start Soon And More Updates

After months of online campaigns and lots and lots of saving hashtags, One Day At A Time Season 4 finally got the renewal. After axed by Netflix, the audience lost all their hopes for their beloved show to return. However, cable network PopTV came up as a savior and picked up the show for its fourth run.
The family sitcom focuses on a Cuban-American family living in Los Angeles. The story of One Day At A Time revolves around a single mother Penelope (Justina Machado), living with her mother Lydia (Rita Moreno) and Penelope’s two children, Elena (Isabella Gomez) and Alex (Marcel Ruiz), navigating the ups and downs of life.
Adding to that, the show also succeeded in bringing some severe issues. As Penelope deals with PTSD, anxiety, and depression, all while taking care of her children and going to school to advance her career as a medical professional. Those kids are suffering from their stuff too as the daughter is gay and son gets bullied for being Hispanic.

In March 2019, Netflix officially canceled One Day At A Time after its fantastic run for three seasons. That happened because of the decreasing number of viewership and also the ratings. However, the decision further led to an immediate response from the fans as they wanted their beloved show to be saved.
Hashtags like #SAVEONEDAYATATIME trended all over the internet. Along with this, some celebrity fans like Lin-Manuel Miranda also wished to bring the show back for the fans. And looking at the wide fanbase and desperation for another season, PopTV came up and ordered the show for another 13-episode queue.
