CBS Extends Damon Wayans Comedy Poppa’s House To Full Season Following Strong Ratings
CBS has officially extended Poppa’s House to a full season, adding five episodes to its original 13-episode order, bringing the total to 18. This move reflects CBS's confidence in the show’s appeal and popularity, as it has already drawn in a solid viewership of 6.41 million within its first week of multiplatform viewing.
Poppa’s House centers around the comedic chemistry of real-life father and son Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr., who star alongside Essence Atkins and Tetona Jackson. Wayans Sr. takes on the role of "Poppa," a seasoned talk radio host who’s refreshingly blunt and unapologetically single. Life takes a twist when a new female co-host joins him, challenging his views both at work and home. At the same time, Poppa continues to parent his adult son—a visionary with big dreams—who's balancing his own roles as a father and husband.
Executive produced by Dean Lorey, Damon Wayans, and Damon Wayans Jr., the series brings family dynamics to the forefront with relatable humor and heartfelt moments. Airing Mondays from 8:30 to 9:00 PM ET/PT, Poppa’s House has resonated with audiences on CBS and Paramount+, standing out as a promising new addition to the network's lineup.
