  • The Peabody Award-winning and critically acclaimed third and final season of the HBO Original comedy series SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE, starring, written, and executive produced by comedian and singer Bridget Everett, returns SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27 (10:30-11:00 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.
  • Season 3 logline: From Mighty Mint, Duplass Brothers Productions, and executive producers Bridget Everett, Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen, the series follows Sam (Everett), a true Kansan on the surface, but, beneath it all, struggling to fit the hometown mold. Grappling with loss and acceptance, singing is Sam's saving grace and leads her on a journey to discover herself and a community of outsiders who don't fit in but don't give up, showing that finding your people, and finding your voice, is possible. Anywhere. Somewhere. In season three, we see growth against all odds.
  • Season 3 cast: Bridget Everett (Sam Miller), Jeff Hiller (Joel), Mary Catherine Garrison (Tricia Miller), Tim Bagley (Brad), Murray Hill (Fred Rococo), Jennifer Mudge (Susan), Mercedes White (Tiffani), Meighan Gerachis (Irma), and season three welcomes Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (Iceland).
  • Bridget Everett, star, writer, and executive producer; Hannah Bos, co-creator, writer, and executive producer; Paul Thureen, co-creator, writer, and executive producer; Carolyn Strauss, executive producer, quote: "It has been the greatest dream to bring this world to life, and to do it with HBO. Kansas Prairie-sized love and thanks to Amy, the entire HBO family, and to the most talented and caring cast and crew. The heart of Somebody Somewhere is friendship, and we will always hold dear the friendships on the screen and those forged behind the camera."
  • Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, Head of HBO & Max Comedy Series, quote: "We are incredibly proud to have collaborated with Bridget, Hannah and Paul on this remarkable exploration of the beauty of everyday life. Though it's hard to say goodbye to these characters we hold dear, we're grateful for this journey and the legacy Somebody Somewhere leaves behind."

Bridget Everett received individual nominations by the Critics Choice Awards for Best Actress in a Comedy Series and the TCA Award for Individual Achievement in Comedy. In 2022, season one was honored by AFI amongst their Television Programs of the Year.
