The best show on television is just getting started, but it’s also coming to a close. And it hasn’t even aired in the U.S. yet. Critics are raving about “Fleabag” Season 2, but it’s only aired in the U.K. so far. And without telling anyone, just as the season comes to an end on BBC, creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s BAFTA-winning comedy, revealed just very recently, that that’s it. Right before the final episode, the writer/creator/director and star revealed that “Fleabag” is done and won’t be coming back.

But let’s back up for the uninitiated because not that many people know what “Fleabag” is. An adaption of Waller-Bridge’s one-woman play and centers on essentially a trainwreck of a human being; an angry, confused, sex-addicted young woman living in London and navigating her own toxicity and self-destructiveness.

The show also stars Olivia Colman, Hugh Skinner, Sian Clifford, Brett Gelman, Bill Paterson, Ben Aldridge, Jamie Demetriou and Season 1 earned itself tons of critical praise including awards for the aforementioned BAFTAs, the Critics’ Choice Television Awards, TCA Awards (though strangely no Emmys or Golden Globes love, but perhaps there’s no accounting for shoddy taste).

But it’s not coming back after this. “I think I’ve described it online as this beautiful, perfect ending and I think it is, but I think what it’s closer to is poetry,” Sian Clifford recently revealed on the BBC on Waller-Bridges behalf. “I think people will accept that this is the end when they see it, because I think it is complete. I think the story is complete.”
We adored the show. It’s right up there near the top of our list of the 50 Most Anticipated TV Shows of 2019 and it ranked super high in our list of the Top 30 Shows of 2016. “Fleabag” returns to Amazon Prime on May 17, and while we’re already crying about losing the show, we will be there every second of the way for every episode. Here’s the new trailer.
