Multiple outlets confirm that the one-hour immigration-themed drama on the network has been canceled by Freedom. This means that the show has effectively ended its single-season run in early March. 

The series followed the five Acosta children as they navigate daily life struggles to survive as a family unit after their parents suddenly are deported back to Mexico. It starred Brandon Larracuente, Emily Tosta, Niko Guardado, and Elle Paris Legaspi.

“Party of Five embodies the heart and soul of what it means to be a family in the most trying of times. We’re so lucky that Freeform gets to be the home for this reimagined story, as we continue to represent the resilience of young adults and the importance of fighting for your voice in times of doubt,” said network president Tom Ascheim when the series was announced.

The reboot from creators Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman averaged only 250,000 Live+Same Day viewers.

Freedom announced that it has picked up the Jessica Biel produced series Friday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour.

Last Summer hails from writer and executive producer Bert V. Royal. Max Winkler directed the pilot. Also producing in addition to Biel is Michelle Purple under their Iron Ocean Productions banner.

According to Variety, the series is a thriller, which takes place over three summers in a small Texas town when a beautiful and popular teen, Kate, goes missing. Then, seemingly unrelated, a girl named Jeanette goes from being a sweet and awkward outlier to the most popular girl in town and, by ’95, the most despised person in America.

Last Summer stars Chiara Aurelia, Mika Abdalla, Michael Landes, Froy Gutierrez, Harley Quinn Smith, Allius Barnes, Blake Lee, Nathaniel Ashton, and Brooklyn Sudano.
