ABC宣布续订《美式主妇》（American Housewife）。

这个家庭有着一对父母、十二个孩子和一堆宠物，热闹混乱的局面反而为家庭增添快乐。尤其是那些性格不一、年龄各异的儿女们，就像活宝一样深得父母欢喜。现在，这家人正面临着前所未有的变化：因为父亲汤姆（史蒂夫·马丁SteveMartin饰）要去大城市的高校球队任教，他们要搬往那里生活了，这亦意味着，孩子们会有更好的教育和更广阔的发展空间；当然，父母日渐繁忙的工作也会削减他们和孩子沟通的时间。母亲凯特（邦尼·亨特BonnieHunt饰）的作家事业也如日中天，甚至要离家宣传新书。孩子们已经和父母日渐生疏，大城市的生活让这个家庭得到了日渐光鲜的地位，却失去了内在的情感纽带。看来，汤姆和凯特要重新思考和抉择了。

　　Three months after the Frobisher settlement, Patty is concentrating on establishing a charitable foundation when an old boyfriend, named Daniel Purcell, contacts her and entangles her in a new case involving corporate fraud and greed. Meanwhile, Ellen continues working with the FBI to destroy Patty, but she becomes more rash and impatient as she continues to set up her appearances to hide her rage behind fabricated grief in the wake of David's murder. Elsewhere, Arthur Frobisher is revealed to have survived the assassination attempt and is recovering in seclusion as he plots his next move against all the people whom he felt wronged him.
