The Big C fans only have four days left to live more episodes to watch! GRAB THE TISSUES!!!

Showtime announced the Emmy nominated dramedy WILL get a fourth season after all — but with a catch!

The thirty-minute show will be extended to a full hour, only be FOUR episodes long and the fourth season will be the series' LAST!

Showtime Entertainment president David Nevins told reporters yesterday at the network's TCA panel that because the show is on a "premium network" (and not one of those tacky free ones) they owe it to their subscribers to give the series a proper ending. Dave said:

Could this be it!? Could this be the role that finally gets Bill Murray an Oscar???

He was nominated in 2003 for Lost In Translation, but couldn't secure a win. Now the actor is portraying Franklin D. Roosevelt in the upcoming release of Hyde Park On Hudson and we are VERY impressed by his thespian skillz!

Just as we predicted, Murray is pretty much FDR's reincarnation in the first trailer (above) for the Focus Features period piece and we're eager to see his entire performance!

Laura Linney co-stars alongside Murray as his distant cousin Margaret Stuckley during a weekend in 1939 when the King and Queen of the United Kingdom visited upstate New York.

It looks so good!!

Showtime's cancer dramedy The Big C is back April 8 and we've got the full trailer (above)!

As we mentioned, the flawless Susan Sarandon is playing one helluva guest role on the show's third season.

And so many more guest stars show up too!

Plus, it looks like they're going to address whether **SPOILER ALERT** Paul, played by Oliver Platt is dead or alive.

This one's going to be a tearjerker. You're gonna have to bust out the Kleenex for this one!

Yay! We can't wait for this to come back!

Showtime's The Big C, which stars Laura Linney as a woman battling terminal cancer, will return for its third season Sunday, April 8th - and this year, once of the show's guest-stars will be Alias and Titanic star Victor Garber!

The actor is slated to appear as a man who causes John Benjamin Hickey's character trouble after an accidental phone in at least one episode!

Which is well and good and all, but we want to know what happens so certain characters after a heartwrenching, shocking second season finale!

Spill the beans! Our heart can't take the anticipation!

What do U think?? Are U excited for the return of The Big C?

Victor Garber will guest star in the new season of The Big C, it has been revealed.

The Emmy award-winning actor, known for appearing in James Cameron blockbuster Titanic, will play a man who causes trouble for Sean (John Benjamin Hickey) when an accidental phone call leads to a harassing situation.

Although it is not yet known whether Garber will appear in more than one episode, previous guest actors Hugh Dancy and Parker Posey took on multi-episode arcs in season two.

The Laura Linney sitcom, a comedy-drama centring around terminal cancer sufferer Cathy, will return for its third season on Sunday, April 8.

If you need an actor to play a dead president, who ya gonna call? Bill Murray!

For all you naysayers out there who poo-pooed Focus Features decision to cast Billy as the iconic President Franklin D. Roosevelt in Hyde Park On Hudson, prepare to eat your words! We have no idea if he can act the part, but he sure as hell looks it!

These new stills of Bill as FDR have been released, as well as a few of Laure Linney as Daisy Suckley (the protagonist of this tale), and Olivia Williams as Eleanor Roosevelt.

No really. It looks like he really got into this part! We're so pleased!

What do U think?
