"Ben and Kate" has six remaining (and finished) episodes, which will now air at a later date. No word yet on when that will be.

Ben and Kate stars Dakota Johnson ("21 Jump Street," "The Five Year Engagement") and Nat Faxon ("Bad Teacher," Academy Award-winning co-screenwriter of "The Descendants") as a pair of odd-couple siblings - one a responsible single mom; the other an exuberant dreamer - who reunite to help raise Kate's daughter, Maddie (Maggie Elizabeth Jones, "We Bought A Zoo").

Dana FOX (NEW GIRL, "What Happens in Vegas") is creator/executive producer. Ben and Kate is produced by 20th Century FOX Television and Chernin Entertainment. The series is executive-produced by Fox, Peter Chernin (NEW GIRL, TOUCH), Katherine Pope (NEW GIRL, TOUCH), Jake Kasdan, Neil Goldman ("Community") and Garrett Donovan ("Community").
