If you caught the ever-so-not-exciting season finale of ABC’s A Million Little Things back in May, or if you’re just catching up now, you’ll be ever-so-not-excited to know that today ABC announced that the emotional try-hard drama is getting an expanded episode order for season 2! While the broadcast network wanted a traditional 22-episode order, showrunner DJ Nash asked for 18. Apparently they compromised on 19. OK, one more episode…we think a compromise would have been 20…not sure how one more episode will make a difference, but DJ Nash sure thinks so! Per TVLine, Nash says it’s all about the quality. Whoo, yeah, quality we dream of in our sleep, perhaps! Need we remind viewers that the infamous *Barbara Morgan* ended up being the DUMBEST PERSON EVER?!? Talk about an epic fail of a mystery, Nash!

Looking back on season 1, A Million Little Things has offered us a million little frustrations. The series is refreshing in its emotional nature amidst a sea of shows that have abandoned emotion in place of sex, violence and even satanism (looking at you, Sabrina), but despite the emotion A Million Little Things tries to offer, its storytelling often rings false and flat. DJ Nash’s ”stories” are too trite and overdone (cancer, divorce, cheating, babies, and more!), and they center around a collection of characters who lack intrigue, uniqueness and compelling qualities. Worse yet, the acting “talent” selected for the show is lacking, so the actors aren’t able to lift the mediocrity of the story either.

Far and away the best part of the show is the adorable child playing Theo and actress Grace Park who outshines the entire cast (Can we get a spinoff with Katherine and Theo, pretty please?!?). Maybe it’s because the character’s name is Katherine — she may not be Katherine Pierce, but this Katherine still draws you in and makes you actually feel something, unlike the rest of these wonderful people (Sorry, Delilah Dixon, no one likes you!). In the season 1 finale, Grace Park (“Katherine Kim”) gives a fantastic verbal smackdown to her colleague, informing him that unlike him, she will get to eat dinner at home with her family! You get that family food time, Katherine! If you’re able to sit through the entire 42 minutes of the finale, you’ll also be left reeling in the closing shot during which Katherine rolls her eyes while the camera fades out on her husband admitting he’s the father of Delilah Dixon’s baby! Check out her reaction below…

Oh, whoops! Wrong Katherine! Let’s try again, shall we?

Of course, if you’re waiting to hear exactly how Katherine Kim responds to her husband fathering the baby of the very haggard-looking Delilah Dixon, don’t get your hopes up…we’re sure these hack writers will take the easy way out and skip that scene when season 2 premieres.

In the meantime, check out ABC’s super-not-revealing season 2 teaser promo below.

Don’t you just love new season “teaser” promos that include NO NEW FOOTAGE?!?

Season 2 of A Million Little Things premieres on ABC at 9 p.m. EDT / 8 p.m. CDT on Thursday, September 26, 2019 after Grey’s Anatomy. Will you be watching? Or might you find a million more things worth your time?
