Deadline has reported that ABC is in works to bring back Brothers & Sisters for a sixth and final season between 6 and 18 episodes. The deal is contingent on star Calista Flockhart only signing on for six of those episodes due to her character’s decreasing storyline.
Brothers & Sisters has been on the bubble since the third season when the ratings fell from 11-12 million viewers and high 2’s/low 3’s in the demo to 9-10 million viewers and mid 2’s in the demos. Season five almost didn’t happen until ABC gave the show an 18-episode order with a majority of the cast only appearing in 13 of the episodes. However, ratings started out solid and ABC re-upped the order to a full 22-episode season.
Season six probably won’t be that lucky, as the ratings since the beginning of the season have started to slide. However, the series almost always ends the season on a cliffhanger, so having them know they have a final season will help the creative aspect, and please the fans as well.
The series also stars Sally Field, Rachel Griffiths, Matthew Rhys, Luke Macfarlane, Dave Annable, Ron Rifkin, and Gilles Marini.
What do you guys think? Do you want a final season? Or do you think the Walker family has told all the stories they can? Sound off!

these are mere crumbs to throw at dedicated fans of the show, shame on ABC for doing this to such a wonderful show…..tsk tsk.
Bring the series back please!. There is nothing wholesome and balanced like this series anymore. The world needs this. Everyone was cast beautifully. All life situations were handled eloquently and educationally and if I ever wanted to he a part of a family it would be this one who had so much going on like any family but addressed every issue holding love above judgment. Never seen anything like it since. Script was excellent. Casting was excellent actors were excellent. It had a redeeming quality that the world needs. Was genuine not shallow
