“The Fosters”, the Jennifer Lopez produced ABC Family drama, will air for a fourth season in 2016.
The show will continue on with the stories about a long-term, interracial lesbian couple Stef (Teri Polo) and Lena (Sherri Saum) and their blended family including adopted twins Marianna (Cierra Ramirez) and Jesus (Noah Centineo), foster kids Callie (Maia Mitchell) and Jude (Hayden Byerly), Stef’s biological son Brandon (David Lambert) and Stef’s ex husband Mike (Danny Nucci).
The family drama explores the difficulty of raising teenagers and maintaining a relationship. The matriarchs of the family aren’t the only same-sex theme in the show. Jude (Hayden Byerly) also is shown struggling with his sexuality and identity as he paints his nails, shares his first kiss with a boy and gets his first boyfriend.
ABC Family announced earlier this year that the channel would be rebranding itself to Freeform. The new channel aims at bringing “exciting, original content” to audiences ages 14 through 34.
The Fosters returns Jan. 26.
