Before you hear it elsewhere (and some already have) this is the Final and 6th Season of MIKE & MOLLY on CBS, Rondi, 63, wrote on her Facebook page. It is also a shortened season (13 episodes) after the announced full renewal of 22 episodes back in March by the network. We are done taping as of January 27th 2016 and I am not sure exactly when/if the episodes will all be aired.

Melissa was just as devastated as the rest of the Mike & Molly fans. I was shocked and heartbroken when @CBS canceled #MikeAndMolly, Melissa wrote on Twitter when the news broke. I would have shot this show for 50 more years. Ill miss my 2nd family.
