When the fifth season begins, Melanie (Valerie Bertinelli) will deal with the aftermath of the shocking news she received in the season four finale: she’s pregnant. The season will have some more surprises in store for Melanie as she starts to date one of her favorite singers. However, when the relationship goes south and he catches her in a lie, she gets “Taylor Swift-ed” and becomes the target of his latest hit song.

This season will also include a crossover between Hot in Cleveland and Kirstie, TV Land’s newest original sitcom! The ladies travel to New York City, and in order to improve her “Oscar karma,” Victoria (Wendie Malick) confesses an old betrayal to her ex-roommate, Broadway star Maddie Banks (Kirstie Alley).

Guest star Max Greenfield will play a charming con man who poses as a pet adoption consultant, while Angela Kinsey will portray an Admissions Counselor for a preschool that Joy (Jane Leeves) wants her grandson Wilbur to attend. Hot in Cleveland is also welcoming back some favorites from past seasons, including Jennifer Love Hewitt, Craig Ferguson, John Mahoney, Michael McMillian, Jay Harrington, Dave Foley, and Georgia Engel.
