ABC extends The Middle's final season to 24 episodes

ABC has ordered an additional two episodes of The Middle's ninth and final season.

The Middle has frequently seen a 22-episode order upped to 24, with its first seven seasons all running that long. The Middle's eighth season featured 23 episodes.

The Middle's ninth season is still in production with the show recently taping its 200th episode.

With the additional two episodes, The Middle will have produced 215 episodes by the time it comes to an end in the spring.
