The Bold Type Renewed For Season 5, Will Be Its Last
The Bold Type has been renewed for a fifth season, but this will be the show’s last installment. After premiering in 2017 on Freeform, The Bold Type became a popular and critical victory for Disney breaking into an older demographic. Inspired by the real-life experiences of a magazine editor and executive producer, Joanne Coles, the show follows three best friends as they fight through the fashion magazine industry’s ruthless world. At the same time, they manage their intricate personal lives.
Like many shows, The Bold Type’s fourth season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Season four ended with best friends Kat (Aisha Dee), Jane (Katie Stevens), and Sutton (Meghann Fahy) on the ends of their personal and professional lives at Scarlet Magazine. With a lot left unresolved, the lovable trio was left at the brink of discovering who they really are. As the series was closed without finishing central plot points, the conclusion left fans frustrated with many unanswered questions.
It was recently announced via The Bold Type Twitter account that the show would be returning for a fifth season and that it will be the show’s last chapter. A flashy video introduces the cast as they meet via Zoom for their first table reading of season 5 on January 21, 2021. Although the cast’s reunion happened remotely, their shining enthusiasm makes it clear they are ready to return for the fifth season.
With shows and movies suffering dramatically from pandemic-related setbacks, The Bold Type’s ability to get renewed for a fifth season is a good indication that the new season will be powerful. The series has been praised for its diverse characters and situations on-screen. Yet, right before the season four finale release, star Aisha Dee urged the production team to bring more diversity behind the scenes. The producers responded to Dee’s call to action willingly, and with the fifth season, The Bold Type can uphold their promises and bring more diversity to the show’s production itself.
While the series is making a triumphant return, many fans may be disappointed that The Bold Type will be retiring after its fifth season. Although the conclusion will be leaving many wanting more, this decision demonstrates that The Bold Type is choosing to end on its own terms. Unlike many other shows, this means that The Bold Type’s magic will not be damaged by an onslaught of bad seasons purely for financial gain. With the fifth and final season of The Bold Type, there are certainly some surprises in store, both personally and professionally, for the lovable trio.
