You're the Worst is back for a third season airing Wednesdays on FXX. The first episode will air on August 31st. Seasons 1 and 2 are available on Hulu.
FX said:You’re the Worst is an original, critically-acclaimed comedy series from Stephen Falk that takes a modern look at love and happiness told through the eyes of two people who haven’t been very successful with either. It’s the story of Gretchen and Jimmy; two lost souls who experience fear, heartbreak, romance, sex, food, Sunday Funday, and friendship in Los Angeles only to find that sometimes the worst people make the best partners.
The narcissistic, brash, and self-destructive “Jimmy Shive-Overly” (Chris Geere) thinks all relationships are doomed. The cynical, people-pleasing, and stubborn “Gretchen Culter” (Aya Cash) knows that relationships aren’t for her. After a whirlwind courtship, and a very rough post-cohabitation period of dealing with Gretchen’s clinical depression, Jimmy and Gretchen try to keep the good times rolling while confronting the terrifying fact that relationships grow and deepen even if the two individuals don’t. For Jimmy and Gretchen, the f-word is “family.”
Rounding out the cast is Desmin Borges who plays “Edgar Quintero,” Jimmy’s once homeless war veteran roommate who is struggling to manage his PTSD while forging a post-combat life. Kether Donohue plays “Lindsay Jillian,” Gretchen’s best friend and former partner in crime who’s exploring her identity after her loveless marriage was resurrected by a surprise pregnancy.

Philly.comCreator Stephen Falk deftly blends light and dark, comedy and tragedy, in pretty much every scene. Just when you’re wondering why these people would even hang out, one of them shares something honest and poignant enough to bring tears to your eyes. It’s a modern mix, and one that has worked increasingly well for “You’re the Worst” since its shaky first season.
SF ChronicleOne of the best comedies of the last few years is also, ironically, one of the most dramatic. Calling FXX's You're the Worst a rom-com feels reductive, but at it's heart, that's really what it is. And that's not a bad thing. It just happens to be pricklier, more cynical, and deeper than When Harry Met Sally . . . .
When it comes to screwed-up modern love, “You’re the Worst” is still the best.
