Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season 3 to Be a “Funny Fatal Attraction”

As has been the case since day 1 of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Rachel Bloom and Aline Brosh McKenna defy expectations at every turn and will do so yet again in the third season of their award winning CW series by focusing on Rebecca wanting to get revenge.

In fact, they’re going that direction to the point where they’re describing the season’s arc as the aforementioned “funny Fatal Attraction”. Maybe a Glenn Close cameo is on the horizon here?

We can’t wait to see what songs and dance numbers will compliment a darker edge to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, especially if you know Bloom’s songs and music videos before she landed Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

We’re pretty sure that if Rachel Bloom got to release her music videos in the heyday of TRL, she’d make into the top ten with probably every one of them.

Watch her latest music video that’s “not for your Emmy consideration” (but really is for Emmy voters).

CBS Signs Overall Deal with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Co-Creator/Showrunner Aline Brosh McKenna

We hope this means that CBS will shake things up with some new comedies that are on the order of genre-bending, high concept nature of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

If they’re letting Colbert curse more during his monologues, maybe they’ll start earnestly exploring territory beyond multi cams.

Showtime Lands “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” from Aline Brosh McKenna & Rachel Bloom

Though a series called “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” could go several ways, it being at Showtime with the likes of Aline Brosh McKenna (Devil Wears Prada) and Rachel Bloom (who did this awesome parody of almost every top 40 song) should potentially make for something really great.
