Showtime comedy series “Episodes” will begin production next week on its fifth and final season.
David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik created the show and Klarik will direct all seven episodes of the final season, which will premiere on Showtime in 2017.
Matt LeBlanc stars in “Episodes” as a fictionalized version of himself with Stephen Mangan, Tamsin Greig, Mircea Monroe, Kathleen Rose Perkins and John Pankow.
In the final season, everyone is in the midst of their own personal hell — if hell can have great weather, palm trees and more than one personal assistant. Matt LeBlanc is the host of “The Box”, a wildly successful game show. Unfortunately, the world seems to have forgotten he was ever an actor. Meanwhile, Sean (Mangan) and Beverly (Greig) are forced to work for Sean’s former partner Tim (Bruce Mackinnon), perhaps the worst show runner in the history of television. Carol (Perkins) is out of a job, out of money and possibly out of show business. And Merc (Pankow), a producer on “The Box,” never resists the opportunity to ruin Matt’s life.
