Will we ever get enough of Workin’ Moms? Probably not. The hit Canadian sitcom has become something of a conduit for moms who want to unwind and watch a show that feels like them. Flawed and loving, needful and independent. Now, as Workin’ Moms Season 6 is officially on Netflix, we are already looking ahead to Season 7. And it seems we’ve got an update, although fans might be a bit heartbroken to hear it.
Sadly, Season 7 will be the last.
Series creator Catherine Reitman shared an update in July noting that Season 7 will be the last for Workin’ Moms.
“To our incredible fans, making this show has been the ride of my life. Philip and I hit the ground, day one of season one, with a three-month old and a two-year-old, watching as we pressed forward on one mission: to tell the stories of four flawed mothers, who dared to be something beyond their nurseries. Going to work every day, whether in the room with our brilliant writers, on set with our extraordinary cast or in post with the best producing team in the business, has cemented in me the importance of telling stories that have meaning, surrounded by artisans who get it,” Reitman said in a statement per Deadline. “But like any story, there must be an ending. And so, it is with love and gratitude that I’m announcing season seven as our final season. The biggest thank you to our partners, CBC and Netflix, for getting behind a show that points a flashlight into the darkest corners of motherhood. To those of you who’ve stopped me on the street, to share your love of the show – I see you. I hear you. And I thank you. Go get ’em mamas…”
Catherine Reitman’s son Jackson will appear in the last episode of the series.
After wrapping the series finale, Reitman delivered an emotional goodbye speech to the show’s cast and crew, which she shared on Instagram. “Nine years ago, I had a little boy, Jackson, who was in today’s episode, you were all so patient and generous with him, and I didn’t feel like myself anymore,” she said. “And I was really struggling to find any content out there that represented that, and that showed how f*cked up having kids can be.”
She thanked husband Philip Sternberg for encouraging her to write her experience because “these stories are so much bigger than me, they’re so much bigger than Philip or Jackson or any hilarious or stupid experience I had as a mother.”
Will Workin’ Moms Season 7 premiere on Netflix?
As sad as we are to see the end of Workin’ Moms, fans can expect a seventh season in the early months of 2023. This would follow the format for the release dates for the other six seasons, which all launched on CBC in the early months of the year following pre-production.
The same Workin’ Moms cast will likely come back.
One of the best things about Workin’ Moms has been its consistency. Since the first season, Kate Foster (Reitman) has stuck with the friends she first met in that fateful mom and baby support group at the very beginning. Yes, they’ve had their ups and downs throughout; dealing with relationship troubles, work/life imbalances, and the most dramatic issue of all, head lice. But Kate’s friends Anne (Dani Kind), Val (Sarah McVie), and Jenny (Jessalyn Wanlim) are still there for each other. As they are sure to be in the seventh season.
Season 6 of Workin’ Moms premiered on Netflix in May 2022.
As we wait for further updates about Season 7 of Workin’ Moms, you can catch the first six seasons right now on Netflix all while knowing you’ll have another fresh season of Workin’ Moms to enjoy before it’s gone forever.
