Maia Mitchell Shares Her Thoughts On The End Of The Fosters & Her New Spin-Off Series
Maia Mitchell has spoken out about the upcoming final season of The Fosters and her upcoming spin-off with Cierra Ramirez. The announcement of the cancellation was released earlier today, January 3, and it stated that the hit show would be ending its run after the conclusion of the upcoming fifth season.
Freeform then announced that they had already ordered a 13 episode spin-off of the show that would be introduced during the three episode series finale. This new series would follow Maia and Cierra’s characters several years into the future.
Maia took to her Twitter to share her thoughts and feelings on the major news. She thanked The Fosters fans profusely for their love and support over the years. She also discusses very briefly her excitement over the working once again with Cierra and their new series.
You can check out Maia’s full statement below. The Fosters kick off their 5B premiere on January 9.
I have so many feelings about this!
“Dear Fosters fans, there’s a lot I want to say so bear with me. Firstly, I want to say thank you. I am so proud of our show and the stories we’ve been able to tell and the people we’ve been able to touch, but none of that is possible without your full hearted support. Your loyalty means the world to all of us at The Fosters and we are truly grateful to every single one of you. Sometimes great things come to an end, but to have achieved five seasons and over one hundred episodes with the most supportive, loving, talented and professional cast and crew is more than I could have dreamed of and for that I am so grateful. This show and its fans have become home to me so it’s a truly bitter-sweet moment. Moving forward, I am especially grateful to @FreeformTV for their commitment to keep the characters and the spirit of the show alive. It’s with a full heart that I start a new chapter with my on and off screen sister, @cierraramirez. We’re excited to see where Callie and Mariana take us next…”
