CBS has renewed its popular Monday night comedy “Bob Hearts Abishola” for a 5th season. The CBS Original series joins top comedies “Young Sheldon,” “Ghosts,” and “The Neighborhood” previously renewed for next season.
From award-winning creator, executive producer and writer Chuck Lorre, BOB ♥ ABISHOLA is a love story about a middle-aged compression sock businessman from Detroit who unexpectedly fell for his cardiac nurse, a Nigerian immigrant, while recovering from a heart attack and set his sights on winning her over. Undaunted by Abishola’s lack of initial interest or the vast differences in their backgrounds, Bob was determined to win Abishola’s heart, and eventually married her, in this comedic examination of immigrant life in America.
The series stars Billy Gardell, (Bob), Folake Olowofoyeku (Abishola), Christine Ebersole (Dottie), Matt Jones (Douglas), Maribeth Monroe (Christina), Vernee Watson (Gloria), Shola Adewusi, (Auntie Olu), Barry Shabaka Henley (Uncle Tunde), Travis Wolfe, Jr. (Dele), Gina Yashere (Kemi), Bayo Akinfemi (Goodwin), Anthony Okungbowa (Kofo) and Saidah Arrika Ekulona (Ebunoluwa)
