SMILF is an American sitcom starring, created, written, and directed by Frankie Shaw. It was based on her short film of the same title.[1] The series premiered on Showtime on November 5, 2017. The series' name, SMILF, is a play on the term "MILF", with the "S" standing for "single",[2] or "Southie" (a nickname for South Boston), or both.[3] On November 29, 2017, Showtime renewed the series for a second season.[4]
Rosie O'Donnell co-stars as Tutu, the mother of Shaw's character Bridgette.[1] Roseanne Barr was supposed to take on the role of Tutu, but due to a knee injury and subsequent surgery, she could not do so.[5][6] Connie Britton has a recurring role as Ally, Bridgette's boss.[7] Miguel Gomez and Samara Weaving are also in the cast, as well as Raven Goodwin, who first appeared in a recurring role but was promoted to a starring role in the second season.
On December 17, 2018, The Hollywood Reporter published an exclusive report that cast and crew members were alleging misconduct on the set, including "inappropriately handled sex scenes", and that co-star Weaving had left the production over breach of contract in the filming of a sex scene.[8] On March 8, 2019, a few days after the fourth episode of season two was broadcast, the series was canceled by ABC Signature, who also suspended a future production deal with Shaw.[9][10] Showtime played out the full run of season two, with the final episode airing on March 31, 2019.[10]
