 - :func:`read_excel`, :func:`read_json`, :func:`read_html`, and :func:`read_xml` no longer accept raw string or byte representation of the data. That type of data must be wrapped in a :py:class:`StringIO` or :py:class:`BytesIO` (:issue:`53767`)
 - :func:`to_datetime` with a ``unit`` specified no longer parses strings into floats, instead parses them the same way as without ``unit`` (:issue:`50735`)
 - :meth:`DataFrame.groupby` with ``as_index=False`` and aggregation methods will no longer exclude from the result the groupings that do not arise from the input (:issue:`49519`)
+- :meth:`ExtensionArray._reduce` now requires a ``keepdims: bool = False`` parameter in the signature (:issue:`52788`)
 - :meth:`Series.dt.to_pydatetime` now returns a :class:`Series` of :py:class:`datetime.datetime` objects (:issue:`52459`)
 - :meth:`SeriesGroupBy.agg` no longer pins the name of the group to the input passed to the provided ``func`` (:issue:`51703`)
 - All arguments except ``name`` in :meth:`Index.rename` are now keyword only (:issue:`56493`)

-               This parameter is not required in the _reduce signature to keep backward

-               is not found in the method signature, a FutureWarning will be emitted.

             Additional keyword arguments passed to the reduction function.
             Currently, `ddof` is the only supported kwarg.
