James Roday Rodriguez has a million little reasons to smile…

ABC has picked up the ensemble drama A Million Little Things, starring the 46-year-old Mexican American actor, for a fifth season.

While the network hasn’t confirmed Season 5 will be the final season, it’s believed its will be the closing chapter of the DJ Nash-created series.

In addition to Rodriguez, the core cast includes David Giuntoli, Romany Malco, Allison Miller, Christina Moses and Grace Park.

The Season 4 finale will air on May 18.

A Million Little Things has drawn praise for its depiction of complex issues like mental health. The series is a soft live viewing performer but excels in DVR viewing and streaming audiences.

A Million Little Things ranks as the #1 gainer in L+7 Day playback on the major networks this season in Adults 18-49 (+133%), tying ABC’s Big Sky.

In fact, A Million Little Things is one of only two broadcast programs this season to more than double its initial Live+Same Day Adult 18-49 rating after seven days of linear playback. After 35 days of viewing across all linear and digital platforms, AMLT is ABC’s #1 delayed-viewing gainer this season in Total Viewers (+249%) and Adults 18-49 (+547%), soaring more than six times over its initial A18-49 Live+Same Day rating. In Live+Same Day, the series has been hovering over the 0.2 18-49 ratings mark.

The series revolves around a tight-knit group of friends from Boston who become motivated to living fuller lives after the unexpected death of a close friend.

Nash is the creator and executive producer for the series, from ABC Signature and Kapital Entertainment. Joanna Kerns is the producing director.

In the Season 4 finale, the strength of Maggie and Gary’s relationship is put to the test once again. Rome makes a sacrifice for a student in distress, Theo turns to an unlikely source to help his mom through a rough patch, and Eddie learns a shocking secret about Anna.
