When The CW renewed its Crazy Ex-Girlfriend TV show, co-creator and star Rachel Bloom said the renewal was for a fourth and final season. Now the littlest network has made the fate of its little-show-that-could official, and it is ending both sooner and later than you think. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is on The CW Fall 2018 schedule, so it will be back in the fall, but at 9:00pm ET/PT, rather than 8:00.
A CW television network, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend stars Rachel Bloom, who created the show with Aline Brosh McKenna, as Rebecca Bunch, a “tightly wound” Ivy educated lawyer. The cast also includes Vincent Rodriguez III, Donna Lynne Champlin, Pete Gardner, Vella Lovell, Gabrielle Ruiz, David Hull, and Scott Michael Foster. After reconnecting with Josh (Rodriguez), her summer camp crush, Rebecca quits a top New York law firm and takes off for California. She’s not following Josh though, as that would be crazy.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend to End with Season Four on The CW

Overall, today, The CW announced/confirmed that the upcoming installments of iZombie, Jane the Virgin, and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, will be their final seasons. While the iZombie fifth season renewal was just issued during the May 11th pre-Upfronts rush, both Jane the Virgin (season five) and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (season four) were picked up for their final seasons on April 2nd, when the network renewed the bulk of its shows.
What do you think? Are you disappointed there will be no season five of Bloom’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend TV series, or are you just happy it got this far? Sound off in the comments.
The first 2 seasons were hilarious but season 3 took a weird dark turn. Just tried watching season 4 and it is just too dumb for words, which I would forgive if it at least made me laugh….but it didn’t. Not even once.
Great show! Was originally forced to watch it with the girlfriend, but now, I’m the one reminding her the show is on!
I will miss the antics of Rebecca Bunch and her friends. Thanks to this show, I learned a lot about love, happiness and mental illness. It has been eye-opening in highlighting the highs and lows to being human. Best of all, those damn songs! I always seem to have the most inappropriate ones stuck in my head at the worst (comically the best) times!
Thank goodness. The LOWEST RATED Network show in the history of Television to ever get 4 seasons. Anyone in the history of Network TV who had a show cancelled due to low ratings and that show didn’t receive 4 seasons is owed an apology.
