At the time of the pilot's pickup to series, it was announced that the sitcom would have its premiere airings on NickMom and then repeat on Nick at Nite.
Deadline.com is also reporting the fantastic news that Nickelodeon has ordered seven additional episodes ahead of the show's premiere, which will bring the number of episodes in "Instant Mom" season one up to 20 episodes!
The half-hour, multi-camera series features Mowry-Hardrict as Stephanie, a party girl who trades in Cosmos for carpools when she marries Charlie (Michael Boatman, "Spin City", "Anger Management"), who already has three kids. In "Instant Mom", Stephanie (Mowry-Hardrict) slowly grows into her role as a full-time stepmom while struggling to maintain some sense of her fun-loving, slightly irresponsible life. Sheryl Lee Ralph ("Moesha") stars as Stephanie's mother Maggie, and rounding out the cast are Charlie's three kids played by Sydney Park ("CSI: NY"), Tylen Williams and Damarr Calhoun.
"Instant Mom" is executive-produced by Howard Gould and Aaron Kaplan. Gould had served as executive producer and head writer of "Cybill" when it won the Golden Globe for Best Comedy Series. He also wrote and directed the feature film "The Six Wives of Henry Lefay", starring Tim Allen, Elisha Cuthbert, Andie MacDowell and Jenna Elfman. Gould's other credits include "FM", "Home Improvement", "The Jeff Foxworthy Show", "Mr. 3000" and "Shrek the Third":
