The Alvarez family will make their basic cable debut this spring: "One Day at a Time" Season 4 is set to premiere in March on Pop TV, it was announced at Sunday’s Vulture Festival.

An exact date was not specified.




Pop TV picked up the former Netflix comedy in June, ordering a 13-episode Season 4 roughly four months after the reboot’s initial cancellation. It marked the first time that a cable network had rescued a cancelled streaming series.

The fourth season will roll out on a weekly basis, as to be expected with its move to linear television. As part of the landmark deal, Season 4 will also at some point air as repeats on CBS, following its run on Pop TV. (CBS was the home of the original series that aired over 40 years ago.)

Pop also gets linear rights to the first three seasons, to air ahead of and promote Season 4.

Why One Day at a Time is ditching its opening theme when it premieres on Pop TV (https://tvline.com/2020/01/13/one-day-at-a-time-theme-song-cut-season-4-pop-tv/)

Co-showrunner Gloria Calderón Kellett that the 50-second opening theme -- a reimagined version of “This Is It,” performed by Gloria Estefan -- is too long for the time constraints of a cable TV show.
