The production of the upcoming season of this Sitcom will be done by Showtime and co-produced by BBC. Episodes’ Season 3 is all set to premiere in the next year on January 12^th at 10:30 p.m and will be a part or Showtime’s winter schedule, alongside House of Lies and Shameless. The new season of Episodes is going to be aired on Showtime almost after one and a half years, quite a wait for the fans! The previous and the second season of the sitcom was a hit, drawing a viewership of 1.66 million, across different platforms.

In the upcoming season of Episodes, we will see Beverly, played by Tamsin Greig and Sean, played by Stephen Mangan, getting back together and Matt’s (LeBlanc himself) career continues to see downfall, so does his ego. This season’s guest appearances on the show will include the 24 fame, Chris Diamantopoulos and Roger Bart (from Revenge), who will be seen in a total of four episodes, playing LeBlanc’s agent. Also the Revolution fame Tracy Spiridakos will be guest starring as a member of the actress, Morning Randolph’s (Mircea Monroe) family.

For thos who are not aware, Episodes is a creation of David Crane, widely known for his immensely popular comedy series Friends, along with Jeffrey Klarik, known for Mad About You. The award-winning writing duo and executive producers of the show are known to pen down every single episode without a writer room. Jimmy Mulville also joins them as executive producer through his company Hat Trick Productions.

When we last left Episodes, whose second season finale aired in August 2012, Sean and Beverly had reconciled after spending a season torn apart due to her fling with Matt and issues with the network. Carol was confronted with the opportunity of a lifetime when she was offered the job of network head, although she’d have to choose between staying loyal to Merc and advancing her career. With Merc’s dismissal, the future of Pucks is now in doubt, as the show lost its (initial) major champion in Merc and now its ratings woes can’t be covered up by pride. It’ll have to stand on its own if there is to be a second season and thanks to Sean and Beverly working things out, there might be a fighting chance for them to right the ship. And for the first time, that’s something that they both want to happen.

In addition to her role on the NBC post-apocalyptic drama, which moves to Wednesdays at 8:00 next season, Spiridakos has appeared on the likes of Being Human, Hellcats, and Tower Prep. She’ll join Chris Diamantopoulos in being new characters on Episodes, with the actor portraying the new head of the network now that Merc has been fired.

The nine-episode third season of Episodes is currently in production in London and will begin shooting in Los Angeles next month for an early 2014 premiere. Given that Showtime’s January 2014 lineup is already set (Shameless, House of Lies, and Californication), it will likely be pushed to April for a presumed pairing with Nurse Jackie and an hour-long drama to be named later.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chris Diamantopoulos has signed on for a season-long arc on Showtime’s Episodes. The Office alum is set to play Caster Soto, the new head of the network and Merc Lapidus’ successor. Last season on the Matt LeBlanc-starring showbiz comedy, Merc was fired due to a tanking fall schedule and not picking up a show that went on to become a blockbuster at a rival network.

While Pucks has been a disappointment for the network, it had a decent supporter in Merc and wasn’t in a whole lot of cancellation danger under his watch. It was his decision to bring Sean and Beverly to Los Angeles to adapt their show and he was going to stick with the series, if only for pride’s sake (and until upfronts, when it could have been quietly axed). However, without him around, the show is in a much more precarious position, with Soto looking to make a mark on the network and not having the ties to Merc’s pet projects that could keep Pucks safe for another season. If it doesn’t improve from its recent slide from an already underwhelming premiere, there’s a chance that Sean and Beverly might find themselves without a show on the air and with tarnished creative reputations. As much as they didn’t like the notes from the network and the constant interference from Merc, could the two find themselves missing him, should Sotto show that he doesn’t care about their show?

In addition to his role as boom operator Brian on the final season of The Office, Diamantopoulos has appeared on the likes of Arrested Development, Community, and Up All Night.

Episodes returns for a nine-episode third season in early 2014.

Will you be watching Episodes next season? How do you think Caster will perform at running the network? Is Pucks in more trouble than ever now that it’s champion has been shown the door?
