After three seasons, Netflix's 'One Day at a Time' was not renewed for a fourth season. The reboot of Norman Lear's CBS series follows single mother and Afghanistan veteran Penelope Alvarez, as she raises her two children (played by Isabella Gomez and Marcel Ruiz) and navigates the relationship she has with her mother (played by Rita Moreno).
Thank you to Gloria, and the entire cast and crew at 'One Day at a Time' for three seasons showcasing the Latinx experience. We have been proud supporters of the show and the Alvarez family will forever be crucial to the advancement of Latinx representation in the industry.
