The critically acclaimed intercontinental dark romantic comedy, Catastrophe, is back for a third go and we can only hope that you’re as excited as we are to see how Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan make a mess of things this time.
So, if you don’t have Amazon Prime already, three seasons of Catastrophe (plus Transparent and Fleabag amongst other things) would be a pretty good reason to sign on.
Intercontinental romantic comedy has never been fully realized, warts and all, quite like Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s Catastrophe, which is why it’s a critically acclaimed series on both sides of the pond for over two seasons.
The third season, having had its run in the UK, is now set to start streaming here in the U.S. on Amazon Prime on Friday, April 28th.
Get a lovely preview with this U.S. trailer here.
The 3rd season of Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s wondrous, brutally honest romantic comedy Catastrophe is about to premiere in the UK on Channel 4.
That, however, does means we have to wait a little while longer before it makes it way stateside and streams on Amazon.
In the meantime, you can enjoy this trailer.
Just a friendly reminder that one of the funniest transatlantic comedy series to ever be is returning stateside for its 3rd season on Amazon at the end of April.
Also, here’s a fun set of Q&A with stars and creators Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan.
This year, Veep, Transparent, Last Week Tonight, and Silicon Valley are still going strong as perennial awards favorites, Master of None and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend are new favorites, Key & Peele finished their run strong, Amy Schumer got nods for both her series and her special, and it was nice to see Bob’s Burgers, Childrens Hospital, Catastrophe, United Shades of America, and Triumph’s Election Special 2016 getting nods as well.

Full list of nominees for 2016 Primetime Emmys are here.
Catastrophe Renewed for Seasons 3 and 4 at UK’s Channel 4
There hasn’t be an official pick-up from Amazon where the series resides in the U.S., but we’d have a hard time imagining that wouldn’t happen for Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s critically acclaimed intercontinental hit.
(via Deadline)
Lifetime, along with half of cable TV, continuing its foray int comedy.
Having dipped its toe into the comedic waters with Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever and the Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell faux-Lifetime style drama A Deadly Adoption, Lifetime is now bringing in more programming that’s atypical from what their brand has been for years.
First off, they’ll be the first network to air Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s Catastrophe on linear U.S. television (Catastrophe is currently only available in the States on Amazon). That will happen sometime early next year.
Secondly, Wilfred co-creator and star Jason Gann is developing a new dramedy currently called Breeders that explores the high school nature of becoming a suburban mom.
Both developments seem to, as far as we can tell right now, bode well for Lifetime.
(via Deadline)
Hopefully, this means that Stewart and Letterman will be making a TV appearance several weeks from now.
The new and improved Peabody Awards are setting to honor retired late night luminaries Jon Stewart and David Letterman. In addition to that, the following comedy series have been just announced as Peabody finalists:
Black-ish
Catastrophe
Fresh Off The Boat
Master of None
Transparent
VEEP
You’ll have to wait to find out who ends up going home with a revered Peabody Award as the actual ceremony doesn’t happen until May 21st.
You’ve got a lot of comedy to stream for April.
In its first season, Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s Catastrophe received heaps of great press for being part of this new wave of grounded, sharp romantic comedy on television.
The second season has already had a run on the air in the UK and is, as of today, finally available stateside via Amazon.
We’re guessing that you probably have to get through binge watching a bunch of stuff right now in addition to this.
One of the shows pushing the wave of more grounded, dramatic romantic comedy on TV is Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan’s Catastrophe. The first season was incredibly well received and American audiences have been pining for the second season as it has already played in the UK.
Luckily, the new season isn’t that far away as episodes will start streaming on Friday, April 8th on Amazon.
For now, you can watch this trailer cut for us Yanks.
You’re The Worst and Catastrophe seem to be leading the charge in a whole a new era of romantic comedy and, as such, plenty of folks can’t wait for more.
A second season of Catastrophe is already on its way in the UK on Channel 4, set for premiere on Oct. 27th in fact. A corresponding U.S. release date, presumably on Amazon has yet to be announced.
Still, you can get a pretty great taste of the adult mischief of Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney in this trailer.
To the countless thousands asking, there will be a season 2 of @catastrophe_tv. We begin shooting this summer. Thanks to all watching.
For those of you that have zipped through or are obsessed with Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan’s Catastrophe on Amazon, rest slightly in knowing that a second season will get production under way this Summer.
That’s what Delaney tweeted this week and as one of the series’ stars and creators, we think he knows best.
If you haven’t gotten into Catastrophe, do so now at Amazon.
Finally, you can now watch Catastrophe on this side of the pond.
If you don’t have an Amazon Prime account, today might be the day to do so. Not only will you be able to watch Transparent, but you’ll then be able to watch the first season Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan’s Catastrophe.
After watching the sweet and yet sharp first episode, we’re definitely in for the series. For fans of You’re The Worst waiting for more You’re The Worst, you’re definitely going to be into Catastrophe.
Starting getting into season one here.
Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s Catastrophe premieres stateside on Amazon starting this Friday Jun. 19th, but you can get a taste a little earlier than that in just a few hours from this post.
In about two hours, Amazon is making the first episode of Catastrophe available to watch on Facebook. You’ll be able to watch for 48 hours after that in case you want to watch it over again or can’t watch it right at 4pm today.
You’re probably on Facebook reading various people’s long posts about whatever they’re outraged today, so you can take a quick break and watch Catastrophe without leaving FB.
(via Variety)
It’s about time that we got to see this Stateside.
Amazon has secured the rights to stream the very first season of Channel 4 series Catastrophe from created by and starring United States’ Rob Delaney and UK’s Sharon Horgan.
Considering how much of a following he has on Twitter, 1.1 million, largely built up here in the U.S., it’s a curiosity what was taking so long for Catastrophe to find a home here for American viewers.
Either way, Amazon Prime subscribers will get to enjoy the series following an unplanned pregnancy of Horgan by Delaney starting Fri. Jun. 19th.
(via The Hollywood Reporter)
There seems to be more cross-pollination between U.S. and U.K. comedy series as of late. Of course, The Office was famously adapted from Ricky Gervais’ version to the version starring Steve Carell that went for 9 seasons. Nowadays, James Corden and Showtime’s Episodes further connect the comedy bridge across the pond.
So, naturally, it would make sense that successful UK series Cuckoo that starred Andy Samberg and Catastrophe starring American comedian/author/Twitter king Rob Delaney and UK’s Sharon Horgan would find it’s way here.
NBC has ordered a pilot for an American remake of Cuckoo and Amazon has gotten rights to stream Catastrophe in the spring for people in the U.S.
Since last year, Rob Delaney has tucked himself away with Sharon Horgan over in the UK for their Channel 4 series Catastrophe.
Details as to when it was going to come out in the UK, much less when/if we get to see it here in The States, have been largely a secret.
Such details are still sort of under wraps, but there’s now a teaser trailer to outline Delaney’s knocking up of Horgan as an American staying in the UK and the glorious aftermath that follows.
Watch the teaser trailer here.
Though you might have seen Rob Delaney on “@midnight” on TVs here in America, Delaney is overseas with a sitcom that he’s been working on with Sharon Horgan called Catastrophe.
Picked up for a season at Channel 4, it follows Delaney and Horgan as a couple that decides to give the family thing a go when Horgan becomes pregnant.
Here’s Rob Delaney himself giving more detail to the show. Hopefully, it’ll make it across the pond in one form or another so us Yanks can watch it.
Rob Delaney & Sharon Horgan’s “Catastrophe” Airing on UK’s Channel 4 Next Year
Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan will write and star in this seemingly cross-Atlantic dark romantic comedy series in 2014 on Channel 4 in the UK.
Hopefully, it’ll be able to be watched online or find it’s way stateside not too long after it premieres.
