NBC Cancels Dramedy ‘Good Girls’

NBC has opted against a fifth season of dramedy “Good Girls”, with the now series finale set for July 22. Created by Jenna Bans, “Good Girls” followed three suburban Michigan mothers (Christina Hendricks, Retta and Mae Whitman), two of whom are sisters, who are having a hard time trying to make ends meet. They are tired of having everything taken away from them so they decide to pull off an unlikely heist by robbing a supermarket, only to discover that they are in for more than they expected. Their successful robbery attracts the attention of the store manager after he recognizes one of the women, but for a different reason altogether than just the money.

Efforts to move the series to Netflix, where it is currently streaming, for a fifth season have fallen through. Fifty one-hour episodes of “Good Girls”, in total, were produced.
