The 5th and final season of the brilliant series ‘Episodes‘ has FINALLY got a UK air date this March on BBC Two.
The show sees Matt LeBlanc stars as… Matt LeBlanc alongside Stephen Mangan & Tamsin Greig as husband and wife writing team Sean and Beverly. When the British screenwriting duo set out to reproduce their British TV hit for an American network, all of their worst fears come true as Hollywood lives up to its reputation for absurdity. Not only does the network cast Matt LeBlanc in the starring role, but Matt takes the lead in deviously twisting their beloved series into a terrible cliché, while testing the couple’s marriage with diversions and temptations.
As we head into Season 5, Matt’s game show ‘The Box’ is now a runaway hit. Unfortunately for Matt, success also means having daily contact with his producer, Merc Lapidus (John Pankow). Sean and Beverly are forced to work for Sean’s loathsome ex-partner Tim (Bruce Mackinnon) after Helen (Andrea Savage) puts him in charge of their new show.
Meanwhile, unable to find another job, Carol (Kathleen Rose Perkins) goes into a weed and real estate show induced tailspin… so Beverly brings her bagels.
Episodes Season 5 premieres on BBC Two in the UK on Friday, 30th March 2018 (exact time TBC… although it’ll probably be 10pm.)
