We’re not ready to say goodbye!
We’ve known for a while that the upcoming season of Catastrophe was going to be the end, but now that we know how soon it is arriving, we’re having a tough time dealing with all of these emotions!
The new season will be dealing not only with Sharon and Rob’s attempts to stay happy in a long term relationship, even as (vague spoilers) Rob tries to deal with his own personal demons which resulted in that cliffhanger. Plus there is also the matter of Carrie Fisher, who played Rob’s mother, passing away after filming her scenes for Season 3.
On top of all that, some new cast additions – Julie Hesmondhalgh (Broadchurch), Chris Noth (Sex And The City), Michaela Watkins (Casual), Nat Faxon (Friends from College) and Brian Gleeson (Love/Hate) – will surely be adding some new complications to everything.
In an interview with the Second Captains on RTÉ Radio 1 back in September, Sharon Horgan said: “Sometimes I feel like it’s a good idea to quit while you’re ahead, I mean, we might not be ahead by the end of this season.
“It might go horribly wrong! The stories came to us really easily and we enjoyed writing it, I suppose we didn’t want to push that. We didn’t want to force stories.”
Rob Delaney helped break the news on Twitter that those in the UK (or at least access to UK channels) will be enjoying the farewell to the show in early 2019:
In the UK, that is. I don’t know release date for US yet. Sorry Braison & Kayleigh!

The exact air date is not yet confirmed, but we’re sure the folks at Channel 4 will make it all very official in the run-up the Christmas.
