"Getting On" Season 3 Spoilers: New 'Cute,' and 'Oh-So Charming' Doctor Joining Institute for Final Season
A new doctor will be joining the geriatric institute in Season 3 of "Getting On."
E! News reports that there will be a new handsome face in the mix.
"Get ready to meet a new docot in the geriatric extended care institute," according to E! "Dr. Ron Rudd is in his late 30s, cute, funnyand oh-so charming. When he comes in, well, he becomes the objection of desire for not one, but two workers at Billy Barnes."
Although there seems to be no set schedule for when the critically acclaimed HBO medical comedy “Getting On” airs again, the Laurie Metcalf and Alex Borstein-starring show will definitely be back for its third and final season.
For fans of the BBC-based series, which tracks the day-to-day ordeals of the staff in a women’s geriatric long-term-care ward hospital, the news that the show has been renewed but that this will be the last season is a happy kind of let down, just as it must be for show’s principal star Laurie Metcalf.
Metcalf expressed deep excitement about the about the series to The Huffington Post when the show first aired in 2013.
"I have my fingers crossed about this project so, so bad; so tightly because I just -- oh, God, it's like a dreamy dream come true project for me," Metcalf said.
Metcalf, who was of course known for playing aunt Jackie for nine years on the ABC hit show “Roseanne,” had been doing a lot of theatre and the occasional bit TV part before taking on the the role as Dr. Jenna James.
When she saw the original BBC version of "Getting On," she loved everything about it.
Metcalf hoped that the show would be well-received.
“Not because selfishly I just want to make more of them because I loved it so much,” she said, “but I really believe in it."
Metcalf’s concerns over any critical praise were perhaps unfounded, but the public getting behind the documentary-styled series was the real problem.
In an LA Weekly review of the show, J.J. Strong lamented that the public’s excitement over the return of the series for its second season had been “nonexistent."
“That’s a shame because the show might just have what it takes to make an important, lasting contribution to how we watch television," Strong said. "The kind of impact that 'The Office' once made… almost.”
