If, a decade ago, you could place money on whether a TV series called Episodes would last more than one season on a premium cable network, much less for five, we’d guess that you wouldn’t make that bet.

However, Matt LeBlanc has found more than solid footing in a post-Friends world with such a show.

See for yourself in the trailer for the fifth and upcoming season of Episodes.

Look for the premiere on Sunday, August 20th at 10PM on Showtime.

Here’s more proof that Episodes has been flying quietly and delightfully under the radar.

Though cable comedies like Louie and Girls get way more press, Episodes on Showtime has also found its way to a fifth season. They’ve manage to do a Hollywood biz comedy starring Matt LeBlanc a la Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Comeback without imitating and coming at it from a different angle.

Look for nine episodes of Episodes in this next season and boost in its profile, probably, when Showtime launches its standalone streaming service.

We hope that you been watching Hotwives of Orlando and been gleefully enjoying Andrea Savage as Veronica Von Vandervon as much as we have.

With that in mind, we also hope you’ll now be excited for Savage joining the cast for a role opposite Matt LeBlanc for the entire next season of the award winning Episodes on Showtime.

We’re now curious to see if she’ll keep the same great, overly posh accent she has on Hotwives given the presence of British writers on Episodes.
