This is considered a full-season order for A Million Little Things as heavily serialized broadcast dramas typically produce 13-18-episode seasons. NBC’s Manifest, the highest rated and most watched new series this fall, recently received a back order of three episodes for a 16-episode freshman season, also referred to as a full-season order.

Like its predecessor, Roseanne, The Conners was intended for a short run because of its cast members’ other commitments. Roseanne had been renewed for a 13-episode second season. The Conners was originally picked up for 10 episodes in the wake of Roseanne’s abrupt cancellation.

The episodic order for A Million Little Things comes just days after ABC ordered three backup scripts each of all four of its remaining series with 13-episode orders, freshmen A Million Little Things, The Rookie and The Kids Are Alright and sophomore comedy Splitting Up Together. There is no back order decision yet on the other three, with new comedy Single Parents getting a full-season pickup earlier this month.
