‘Fleabag’ to Follow the UK TV Tradition of Only Going for a Couple of Seasons
So many of your favorite British comedies such as The Office over the years only go for a few seasons, if even that many. It has a lot to do with the power structure and workflow being different (the writing is done by much fewer people before production and thus more taxing on the creative end).
The critically acclaimed Fleabag seems destined for the same path as it will end with its second season after it airs this year. While we all here in the States might lament what could have been with 3rd, 4th, and 5th season of the amazing dark comedy series led by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, know that it’ll free her up to make other amazing work such as her other show Killing Eve.
At the very least, the show gets to end on its own terms rather getting cut short and leaving us with no closure. We are pretty confident Waller-Bridge will blow us away with something else in the not so distant future.
