Netflix renewed family sitcom “Family Reunion” for a 10-episode third and final season.
The series follows the McKellan family who moved from Seattle to Georgia in the series premiere to be closer to extended family. Now there are three generations living in the same house, and house is stuffed full of people. During the first two seasons, which were split into two parts each, the characters had to adjust to their new lifestyle, which included three-hour church services and “huge humidity hair,” as the network puts it. As complicated as things could be, there has been a lot of family bonding and learning and growing along the way, as well, and the final season should continue that pattern.
“I am so excited that ‘Family Reunion’ will be returning for a third season,” said creator and executive producer Meg DeLoatch in a statement. I will always be grateful to Netflix for...
