Bob Hearts Abishola (stylized as BOB❤️ABISHOLA) is an American television sitcom created by Chuck Lorre, Eddie Gorodetsky, Al Higgins, and Gina Yashere that ran on CBS from September 23, 2019, to May 6, 2024, lasting five seasons and 95 episodes. It stars Billy Gardell and Folake Olowofoyeku as the respective titular characters, with Christine Ebersole, Matt Jones, Maribeth Monroe, Shola Adewusi, Barry Shabaka Henley, Travis Wolfe Jr., Vernee Watson, Bayo Akinfemi, Anthony Okungbowa, Saidah Arrika Ekulona, and Yashere in supporting roles. In February 2021, the series was renewed for a third season, which premiered on September 20, 2021.[1][2] In January 2022, the series was renewed for a fourth season, which premiered on September 19, 2022.[3][4]

In January 2023, the series was renewed for a fifth season[5] which premiered on February 12, 2024.[6] However, eleven of the show's thirteen main cast members were downgraded to recurring, and would likely return for only five episodes apiece during Season 5 (some could do more, subject to availability).[7] In November 2023, it was announced that the fifth season would be the series' final season, with the series finale airing on May 6, 2024.[8][9][10]
