Happy Sunday Funday to all who celebrate, as the cast and creator of You’re the Worst are planting the seed of an onscreen continuation.
Five years after the FX/FXX dark comedy abruptly ended its five-season run, creator Stephen Falk reunited with stars Aya Cash, Kether Donohue and Desmin Borges at Vulture Fest, where they all expressed interest in reprising their roles.
After Cash immediately jumped on board with the idea of a reunion, Donohue pitched: “We should do a limited series! Or like when Sex and the City does a movie. We should do a movie!”

“You’re the Worst in Dubai!” quipped Falk. “I mean, we would love to do anything. The obvious answer is unless FX wants to do it, we can’t do it.”
And don’t expect them to take the crowd-funding route either. “Then we have, like, Zach Braff’s movie [2014’s Wish I Was Here] that no one watched? No! FX has to f—ing pay for it. I’m not gonna make you guys do it,” he added.
You’re the Worst stars Cash and Chris Geere as Gretchen and Jimmy, two strangers who hit it off after meeting at a wedding and finding that their difficult personalities complement each other. Donohue and Borges star as their friends Lindsay and Edgar, who come with their own set of eccentric quirks.
Falk noted that he intended for the show to have six seasons, but FX ultimately rushed his ending, which was wrapped up in a finale time jump. “I think the big lie of TV is that the writers always know how it’s gonna end and they know the exact right moment. It’s bull—. Anyone who tells you that is a liar,” he said.
“But I did know that I wanted the show to trace the very traditional steps of a relationship. If we had gotten a sixth season — we didn’t end it, they just canceled us — they would have then had a kid and done that stuff, and eventually moved into an old-folks home, then died in season 39,” added Falk. “I don’t know when we decided they would not get married, but be together. That just felt f—ing perfect for us.”
Although Geere wasn’t in attendance at the Vulture Fest reunion, he graced fans at the panel with a pre-recorded video greeting.
