'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' Ending After Next Season
by EG
Fans of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend got good news and bad news via a tweet on Monday from series star and creator Rachel Bloom. Bloom announced that the series will be back for a fourth season, a fact that had not yet been confirmed. But Bloom also wrote that the fourth season will be the show's final season, too.
The end of the road for The CW's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is in sight.
On Monday, the younger-skewing broadcast network announced that Crazy will return for a fourth run in the 2018-19 season. And, according to its star and co-creator, Rachel Bloom, that fourth run will be its final season.
"Just turned on my Wifi on our flight to Chicago and found out that #CrazyExGirlfriend has been renewed for a final season," Bloom tweeted Monday.
The CW declined comment on if season four will indeed be the show's endgame. A formal announcement on that is expected to come closer to May's upfronts, when the broadcast networks pitch their schedules to Madison Avenue ad buyers.
Still, that Crazy would end with its fourth season should come as no surprise. Following the season one finale, Bloom told The Hollywood Reporter that her "ideal number" of seasons is "around four."
"We're a show about a very specific journey in a person's life. And it's not really a sitcom meant to spit out copies of itself," Bloom said. "Very early on, we called it a 50-hour movie. I think we're beyond that now. There's always going to be plot movement, so there's only so far I think you can go with that. It could be five, but I think around four would be ideal for us creatively."
