Jan. 3 (UPI) -- Freeform said it ordered a three-part, limited series event to wrap up The Fosters, as well as a 13-episode spinoff starring Cierra Ramirez and Maia Mitchell.
"First and foremost, we want to thank our fans -- our supportive Fosters Family -- and Freeform for fostering this show. It's been the privilege of our lives to get to shepherd this beautiful family through five seasons of love, laughter, heartbreak, tribulation, and triumph -- and message to the world that DNA doesn't make a family, love does," writer-producers Joanna Johnson, Bradley Bredeweg and Peter Paige said in a joint statement Wednesday.
