Leading up to its 100th episode, the Freeform drama will continue to tackle real-life issues about immigration and explore lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) plotlines. "'The Fosters' has never shied away from tackling important social issues like immigration rights, LGBTQ rights and adoption rights," executive producer Joanna Johnson said in a statement. "We will continue to tell those important stories this season for those who too often are not heard."
"The Fosters" celebrated its 100th episode on Nov. 30 with the entire cast and crew. Also in attendance for the special day were network executives and producers, who all spent the day with a group of foster children from the community. They also had a massive cake with three words that best describe the show: "Love is love." Some of the stars even got emotional as seen in their social media posts about the event.
"The Fosters" season 5 returns with all-new episodes on Tuesday, Jan. 9, at 8 p.m. EST on Freeform.
