Rob Delaney (Deadpool + Wolverine, Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1) and Sharon Horgan (Bad Sisters, Motherland, Divorce) write and star in Catastrophe, a comedy following an Irish woman and an American man who make a bloody mess as they struggle to fall in love in London. Clumsy lust, instant pregnancy, and genuine disaster provide the foundation for this flaming hovel of a relationship.
In a mess of events always in danger of slipping out of their grasp, Rob and Sharon must also learn to deal with her largely awful friend Ashley Jensen, Extras, Ugly Betty); his eccentric Bostonian mother Carrie Fisher, Star Wars); and attempt to navigate the choppy waters of their ever-more complicating lives.

AWARDS & REVIEWS
“It’s the rare series in this era of streaming binge marathons whose seasons actually feel too short.”
The New York Times
★★★★★
The Daily Telegraph
It’s beautifully observed, and if the characters seem more woundingly articulate than is usual in a sitcom, that’s what makes them feel realistic. Horgan and Delaney are always funny but they’re not afraid to add a bit of darkness.
The Evening Standard
People’s faces have a way of sweetly melting whenever I bring up Amazon’s romantic dramedy series “Catastrophe,”… Sadness and dread have settled in, handled with the same skill with which “Catastrophe” subverted the notion of a love story
The Washington Post
Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney master the art of television writing. How the duo manages to convey an engrossing story amid the comedic antics is nothing short of sensational…A series to be preserved for future “this is how you do it” masterclasses.
