Earlier, she revealed her theory about why 'Mom' was cancelled this year. “I wish that we’d had at least another year for the writers to have that much time to ramp up to the ending. We sort of found out sooner than we thought we would,” Allison said. “We thought, ‘Surely, they’re gonna want more Mom.’ And they decided not.”

By saying that there are many reasons why the show was cancelled and added that “most of them” are “probably money” related.
