What’s This TV Show About?
A scripted Showtime comedy, Episodes stars Matt LeBlanc as a fictionalized version of himself. The cast also includes Tamsin Greigas, Stephen Mangan, John Pankow, Kathleen Rose Perkins, and Mircea Monroe. The fifth season kicks off several months after the season four finale. Although Matt’s gameshow is a big hit, his acting career has faded into obscurity. Things aren’t going too well for Sean (Mangan) and Beverly (Greig), either. Sean’s former partner is now running their new series, The Opposite of Us. Now they have to stand by and watch as this untalented hack ruins their TV series.
Season Five Ratings
The fifth season of Episodes averaged a 0.05 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 279,000 viewers. Compared to season four, that’s down by 66% and down by 20%, respectively. Learn how Episodes stacks up against the other Showtime TV shows.
On April 11, 2016 Showtime announced Episodes was ending with the fifth season. The last episode aired October 8, 2017. Could it be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
You don’t have to worry whether Episodes will be cancelled or renewed for season six. In April of 2016, when Showtime announced the fifth installment was in production, they confirmed it would be the final season — at the request of creators David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik. We’re still tracking the ratings though, because they provide perspective when considering the cancellation or renewal chances of other Showtime TV shows, as well as the likelihood of an Episodes spin-off or sequel series.
