It did not take long before their request was granted, as the POP network would be airing the fourth season in 2020.

To further affirm the news, the star actress of the show, Rita Moreno, debuted it on both her Instagram and Twitter account.

Another wrote:

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Executive Producer and creator, Norman Lear, shared how hurt he was when the show got canceled.

"Three months ago, I was heartbroken with the news of our beloved One Day at a Time's cancellation. Today, I'm overwhelmed with joy to know the Alvarez family will live on."

RITA MORENO ALMOST QUIT SHOW BUSINESS

It is unbelievable to think that a bundle of talent like Rita Moreno was close to saying bye-bye to the world of Hollywood. But that was the case for the Latina actress.

Although her role in the 1961 movie, "West Side Story" was what projected her into fame, it didn't come easy. The 87-year-old was a major subject of racism.

She recounted how her first line in the movie which was "America" was meant to be "Puerto Rico, you ugly island, island of tropic diseases." However, because of her devotion to her country, Rita refused to say it.

Luckily, the script was adjusted and she went on to win an Oscar and Golden Globe for her role.

Despite all the hurdles faced in Old Hollywood, Rita's career has remained a commendable one, and fans are about to be reminded what a gem she is in the coming forth season of "One Day At A Time."
