Ray’s story is coming to a close. FX has announced that season three of the Mr Inbetween TV series will launch on Tuesday, May 25th. There will be nine episodes this time around and those will wrap up the series. A fourth season isn’t planned.
A gritty comedy-drama series from Australia, Mr Inbetween was created by its star, Scott Ryan. The series also stars Damon Herriman, Justin Rosniak, Brooke Satchwell, Jackson Tozer, Nicholas Cassim, Chika Yasumura, Edmund Lembke-Hogan, and Matt Nable. In the series, Ray Shoesmith (Ryan) has many roles — as a father, an ex-husband, a boyfriend, a caretaker to a sick brother, and a best friend. His life is further complicated because Ray also happens to be a criminal-for-hire. In season two, Ray’s work and personal life collided and he struggled to keep both of them from imploding.
Here’s the announcement from FX, including details about the third and final season:
FX Sets Premiere Date for Third and Final Season of “Mr Inbetween”
Nine-Episode Third Season Will Premiere Tuesday, May 25 at 10pm ET/PT on FX and Stream the Following Day on FX on Hulu
Created By, Written and Starring Scott Ryan and Directed by Nash Edgerton
LOS ANGELES, April 15, 2021 – FX today set the premiere date for the third season of Mr Inbetween, the half-hour series created by, written and starring Scott Ryan and directed by Nash Edgerton. The nine-episode third season, which will be the series’ final season, will premiere on Tuesday, May 25 at 10pm ET/PT on FX and be available to stream the following day on FX on Hulu. The premiere will include the first two episodes, with one new episode airing each subsequent week.
Juggling parental responsibilities, complicated relationships, a viciously smart pre-teen daughter and an aging parent while earning a living would be difficult for anyone, but it’s particularly tricky when you’re a criminal for hire.
Ray Shoesmith (Scott Ryan) ‘takes care of people’ – collecting debts, relieving them of drugs and guns, and often taking care of them on a more permanent basis. Ray demands respect and does not tolerate others disregarding his very clear code of ethics. As Ray’s increasingly volatile work collides with his imploding personal life, he finds himself struggling to stay atop the complex web he has woven.
In season three of Mr Inbetween, Ray’s world has contracted. Family life looks a little different as he quietly mourns the loss of Bruce, while figuring out how to care for his aging father, Bill (Kenny Graham). As Brittany (Chika Yasumura) grows into a young woman, she draws further away from Ray and comes closer to discovering the truth about who he really is. Things seem good with Gary (Justin Rosniak) and Dave (Matt Nable), however since severing ties with former boss and confidant Freddy (Damon Herriman), Ray is working freelance and feeling a sense of isolation. With business booming, a new connection with criminal kingpin Rafael (Jeremy Sims) intensifies Ray’s struggle and when sparks fly with new colleague Zoe (Emily Barclay), an unexpected tragedy makes Ray question both his career trajectory and his ethics.
Fellow underworld figures dub Ray ‘The Magician’ for his uncanny ability to make things disappear. As his family crumbles, emotions rage and violence escalates, the blood on his hands may finally cause the magic wand to slip.
The series is executive produced by Nash Edgerton, Scott Ryan, and Michele Bennett. The series was shot in Australia and is produced by Blue-Tongue Films and Pariah Productions in association with FX Productions.

This was a most needed show. It showed the evil and kindness in humanity. Isn’t it about time?? Reality is real.

Canceling this show is a mistake! This show is hands down the absolutely best thing on television. Is there any way another Network night pick it up for Season 4?
Why? This is an interesting & intriguing show. Something different for this of us who are tired of the same old scrap.
This sucks! I love Mr InBetween! Original, thought provoking, entertaining! FX can pound sand.
I like Mr. Inbetweenn but it seems a good decision to end it before the accumulated violence makes Ray an unsympathetic character.
Whatever admirable qualities Ray posseses as a father or brother he still kills for money…bad guys, the wrong guys, and just some guys somebody else wants dead.
That third category hardly fits into any code of ethics.
This pisses me off. Can’t we have anything nice?!
What a kick in the teeth! Original, poignant, dark, funny and quirky. Of course it’s something that would get cancelled it has no blatant, politically correct message and deliberately skewed racial and diverse scripting as the starting point of the story that everything (even longstanding series) seems to have these days (911 Lone Star style – single firefighting team comprising Homosexual, Trans-man, Muslim woman, reformed drug addict and firefighter with disabilities!) The fact Mr Inbetween deals with disability and terminal illness in a moving and emotional storyline within a plausible scenario of a broad, interesting script. The effect of family… Read more »
