CBS doesn’t have a problem bailing out 2 Broke Girls. According to The Wrap, the network just renewed the show for a fifth season.
Ratings for the show have been stellar, as its currently-airing fourth season averages 9.58 million total viewers. This is a slight increase from How I Met Your Mother’s final season, which held the same 8 p.m. time slot.
Starring Beth Behrs and Kat Dennings, the show follows two girls who work at a diner to save up and open up a cupcake shop.
The shows has had its fair share of controversies, as detailed in Vulture. Creator Michael Patrick King defended the show’s use of stereotypes and vulgarities by saying that his show had a lot of heart and that he “found it comedic to take everyone down,” noting that his show represented a lot of different people.
Matthew Moy, who plays Han Lee on the show, told us that “people need to just chill out” in regards to offensive humor.
CBS also renewed Mike & Molly and Mom.
