‘Family Reunion’ Season 5: Everything We Know So Far About The Final Season

Family Reunion will return for its final season on Netflix. The multi-camera sitcom is currently in production. While it’s technically the show’s third season, due to the way the show releases onto Netflix, we’ll be referring to it as the fifth season. Here’s what we know so far.

The series was created by Meg DeLoatch and debuted on Netflix in July 2019. It has since been distributed over 5 episodes (one being a Christmas special), with the latest 7 episodes arriving in August 2021. Family Reunion won a variety of awards, including Primetime Emmy nominations.

So let’s run through some of the key announcements that came from the renewal back in October 2021:

• The show has been given a 10-episode final season order – we’re expecting these to drop all at once or in two halves.
• Adrienne Carter, and Arthur Harris (who wrote for previous seasons) have been promoted as showrunners, and executive producers.
• Meg DeLoatch, the executive producer of the show will continue to be involved.
• Loretta Devine, Tia Mowry-Hardrict, Richard Roundtree,  Anthony Alabi, Talia Jackson, Isaiah Russell-Bailey, Cameron J. Wright, and Jordyn Raya James are all set to return.

This show is one of few Netflix successes in this genre, which typically does well on ABC and CBS. Fuller House is still Netflix’s most successful multi-cam sitcom so far with a slew of other multi-cam sitcoms failing to get beyond season 1 including Country Comfort, The Crew, and Mr. Iglesias.

What is Family Reunion's performance on Netflix Top 10s?

The Netflix Top 10s gives us a great insight into where Netflix is doing well.

FlixPatrol reports that the show only spent 19 days among the top 10 Netflix US TV shows and 11 in the top 10 UK TV shows. However, the show performs well in other countries such as South Africa, Finland, Denmark and Finland.
