From key trends to fundamental details, understand everything about Freeform Renews 'The Fosters' for Fifth Season with our comprehensive overview.

We wouldn’t have it any other way.

On Tuesday, Freeform announced that the network will be bringing back their critically-acclaimed family drama, The Fosters for season five.

“Breaking news! The Fosters has been greenlit for a fifth season, which will bring the series to the momentous 100-episode mark!!!”, the television series wrote on their official Twitter account.

A new season means that The Fosters will be meeting its 100-episode mark since the show first debuted in 2013. Starring Teri Polo and Sherri Saum, the two portray a lesbian couple raising a blended family full of adopted and biological teenagers in a seemingly quiet San Diego suburb.

Over the summer, the LGBT-themed series, executive produced by Jennifer Lopez, was the No. 1 scripted cable series in its time slot and among key adult and female demographics with a total of 7 million viewers. According to a Freeform press release, the series also finished as the No. 2 scripted basic cable series with women 18-49, just falling behind Pretty Little Liars.

Season four will resume with its winter premiere on Tuesday, January 31 at 8 p.m. ET. You can watch the dramatic promo below.
