Showtime renews Episodes

Showtime has given Matt LeBlanc starer “Episodes” a season five order.

The fifth season of the show will consist of nine half-hour eps starring LeBlanc as an exaggerated version of himself.

Stephen Mangan, Tamsin Greig, Mircea Monroe, Kathleen Rose Perkins and John Pankow co-star in the show from creators/exec-producers David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik. Jimmy Mulville also exec produces.

“We are so pleased to continue working with David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik, two of the sharpest creative minds in comedy, along with the incredibly talented cast, led by Matt LeBlanc,” said President of Showtime Networks Inc. David Nevins. “And now that viewers have even more ways to access Showtime programming, I’m excited for a whole new audience to watch this smart, funny comedy gem.”

Production on season five is set to kick off in London next year.
