‘Workin' Moms’ Season 4 dropped on Netflix... and as much as fans were excited to watch it, they were disappointed when it ended soon enough. Too many viewers have been complaining about how short the season was and are demanding a new season now.

The Canadian television sitcom revolves around — Kate Foster (Catherine Reitman), Anne Carlson (Dani Kind), Frankie Coyne (Juno Ruddell), and Jenny Matthews (Jessalyn Wanlim) —  as a group of friends dealing with the challenges of being working mothers. Ever since it first premiered, the show has picked up a good fan base and while the first three seasons had 13 episodes each, the last one had only eight. No sooner did it drop on Netflix, fans binge-watched it and couldn't stop wondering if the episodes were shorter. 

All eight episodes on ‘Workin' Moms’ Season 4 were 23 minutes long each. "Wait so long for a new season just to sit down & finish it in under 3 hrs. Now begins the long wait for season 5 #WorkinMoms," one said while another posted, "Only 8 episodes... really?!?! #WorkinMoms."

A viewer asked, "Why was this season of #WorkinMoms so much shorter?" while another wondered, "Wtf why did they only have 8 episodes #WorkinMoms."

"Did they make shorter episodes of #WorkinMoms? I mean I was waiting for this moment such a loooong time and now I’m just about to finish all the season in one night," one viewer wrote and another said, "Damn #WorkinMoms season 4 was over before I started. I feel like this season was so short." 

Several fans are demanding for Season 5 now. "I’ve finished Workin’ Moms and now I’m SAD I love it so much! Pls let there be a season 5!!! #workinmoms," one said and another posted, "So.. @netflix, I’ve finished #WorkinMoms. All I want to know is when the next season is coming out? @WorkinMomsNFLX." Another said, "I need #WorkinMoms to have more episodes."

Many others appreciated the comedy. "I'm going to have to wake up early on the weekends so I can have the TV to myself and watch #workinmoms. I miss my apartment and being able to have my room to myself so I can have alone time," one posted. Another said, "Binge watched the new #WorkinMoms season and now I hate myself."

"#WorkinMoms is back on Netflix. Yes, I'm gonna keep watching that cheesy Canadian show," one tweet read. Another wrote, "Been watching #WorkinMoms on Netflix, great show, funny, great characters, beautiful clean camera work."

One went on to say, "If you don’t watch #WorkinMoms, do you really appreciate comedy?" Another posted, "Is #WorkinMoms underrated or is it really popular? I don’t know anyone who’s watched it but it is one of my fave series. I literally laugh out loud at every episode."
