Speechless, which starred Minnie Driver as the head of a family in a series exploring the challenges of having a teenage son who is disabled, was among ABC's lowest-rated series in 2018-19, losing around half of its audience from the previous year.

While ABC have said it was a "gut-wrenching" decision to cancel the sitcom, it's hardly a surprise given the numbers - with fewer than half-a-million in the 18-49 demo - and Speechless comes to an end after three seasons.
