FREEFORM star Sofia Black-D’Elia has confessed that Single Drunk Female’s cancellation is taking a toll on her.
Sofia shared that she was equally devastated as fans were that Freeform execs cut Single Drunk Female from its line-up amid the latest Writers Guild of America strike.

Sofia, 31, recently dropped a selfie outside of her trailer on the set of the comedy show on her Instagram page.
The Gossip Girl alum left an emotional message about her time on the short-term series as the lovable Samantha Fink in the caption of the snap.
“I’m so sad the SDF [Single Drunk Female] journey has been cut short,” Sofia wrote.
She continued: “I’ve loved making this show. I’m grateful to everyone who was apart of it.
“To anyone who watched: thank you.
“To anyone who stopped me on the street to tell me how much time they had or how annoying their mom was: I love you.”
Under the TV star’s post, fans complained in the comment section about how unfair it was that the Single Drunk Female was being canned.
“Why do they keep cancelling all the amazing shows you’re part of?,” one fan asked.
Another added: “Nooooo, whyyy this is the dumbest decision of the year.”
Someone else cosigned: “I’m mad. Now I’m obsessively commenting here but what the hell!!”
END OF AN ERA
Single Drunk Female was a comedy about an alcoholic woman in her 20s who is trying to get her life together.
She ended up moving back in with her mother while she finds herself.
The show starred Sofia and Ally Sheedy, 61, the latter who is well-known for her role in The Breakfast Club.
Single Drunk Female wrapped its second and final season in April, and it’s available to stream on Hulu.
Fans of the shows on Twitter were deeply upset at the announcement about Single Drunk Female this week.
One said: “What’s the point of even writing anymore when you don’t get to finish your projects?”
Someone else tweeted: “I liked Single Drunk Female, but shows I like always get canceled, so I guess I should apologize to the cast and crew.”
“Oh, what do ya know another show I like is canceled. Single Drunk Female was funny… What a shame,” added a third.
Another wrote: “This stinks. They were both really enjoyable shows.”
“No!” someone else said while another user tweeted: “That’s disappointing.”
FREEFORM’S REFORM
Single Drunk Female isn’t the only show that Freeform is letting go of.
In March, Freeform announced the Black-ish spin-off would end with its upcoming sixth season.
Grown-ish star Yara Shahidi, 23, who played Zoey Johnson on Black-ish, follows her as she leaves her family nest and heads to college.
In an emotional message posted on YouTube, Yara shared the news.
“Don’t be sad, because we’re going to do it up big,” she encouraged. “We have so much to celebrate this season, including hitting our hundredth episode.”
Yara also teased some special guest stars, including Lil Yachty and Anderson Pakk & The Free Nationals.
The final season will also be stretched over two years, with half of the episodes premiering this summer, and the rest coming out in 2024.
“You guys have been with us since season 1,” Yara told viewers. “It has been such an honor to play Zoey and grow up alongside her.
“Your support over the last five seasons has really meant the world to us, the cast and crew. And we want to take the time to thank you all for the love and support that has kept us going.”
