Sharon Horgan's Channel 4 dramedy Catastrophe could well conclude with the main characters at the end of their lives in a care home.
The show ended its third season on Tuesday night, with a special tribute during the closing credits to the late Carrie Fisher, who died after collapsing on a plane home to Los Angeles just days after filming on Catastrophe was completed.
Horgan and co-star and co-writer Rob Delaney, with whom she plays the show's central couple, also called Sharon and Rob, were talking to the Radio Times about Catastrophe and he said:
"We sort of think of our spiritual forbear as the Before Sunrise, Before Sunset films.
"They rather beautifully dip in once every ten years on this couple, and that's an amazing way to tell a story. That's not out of the question; [it] wouldn't be a crazy way to do it."
When asked if that means viewers could eventually see Sharon and Rob as elderly residents in a care home, Delaney said: "That's not out of the question; it's a very funny idea" before Horgan elaborated
"We would have to be estranged from our kids to go down that route," she said, before adding: "That gives me the heebies.
"We're not teenagers and the only teenagers' problems are my own daughter's and I am not going to put her life on screen."
