The streamer released (and renewed) the comedy series in parts, so the renewal is for part 7 of The Upshaws, which Netflix is calling a final season.
The six-episode Part 5 of The Upshaws debuted in April, and the 10-episode Part 6, the sitcom's penultimate season, is scheduled to air in early 2025.
After the first season of ten episodes, seasons two and three of The Upshaws were released in two parts of eight and six episodes respectively. They were followed by a ten-episode part 6 and now a twelve-episode part 7.
The Upshaws concludes with 60 episodes, the third-longest run for a Netflix comedy series behind The Ranch (80) and Fuller House (75).
It's been difficult for streamers to crack the traditional sitcom format, and for a while The Upshaws flew the genre's flag on Netflix until it was joined by That '90s Show.
The Upshaws was created by Regina Hicks and Sykes, who serve as showrunners. Bennie Upshaw (Epps), the head of a working-class black family in Indianapolis, is a charming, well-meaning mechanic and lifelong mess who does his best to provide for his family - his wife Regina (Fields), their two young daughters (Khali Spraggins, Journey Christine) and firstborn son (Jermelle Simon), the teenage son (Diamond Lyons) he fathered by another woman (Gabrielle Dennis) - and his sardonic sister-in-law (Sykes), all without a blueprint for success. But the Upshaws are determined to make it work together.
In this next installment, the Upshaws continue to experience the highs and lows of life, including new jobs, bigger dreams, health issues, and some big life surprises, but they still hold on with the love that comes with family.
Hicks, Sykes and Epps produce with Page Hurwitz, Niles Kirchner, Annie Levine & Jon Emerson and Mark Alton Brown.
