Starring Emmy^® Award nominee and Golden Globe Award winner Don Cheadle as Marty Kaan, Season 3 begins in the wreckage of Marty’s decision to launch his own firm, disbanding the almighty quartet.

In Season 3 of the Golden Globe Award-winning series, Sean (Stephen Mangan) and Beverly (Tamsin Greig), an English couple whose hit U.K. sitcom is remade for U.S. audiences and corrupted beyond recognition, are back together; however, they soon discover it’s not so easy to heal old wounds. Things do not get any easier for Matt LeBlanc (FRIENDS) this season as his career and ego continue to be pummeled. Guest stars this season include: Chris Diamantopoulos (24) in a season-long arc as the new head of the network; Roger Bart (REVENGE) appears in four episodes as Matt’s agent; along with Tracy Spiridakos (REVOLUTION) as a family member of actress Morning Randolph (Mircea Monroe).
