Dr. Jenna James will have a chance to get herself out of her self-imposed Medicare fraud scandal at Mount Palms Memorial Hospital — but she’ll have to act quickly.
HBO has renewed its dark comedy Getting On for a third and final season, TVLine has confirmed.
Based on the British series of the same name, Getting On — which stars Laurie Metcalf as the manic head of the hospital’s extended care unit, and Niecy Nash and Alex Borstein as her harried nurses — ended Season 2 with the women facing possible racketeering and anti-kickback proceedings in California Superior Court.

Very sad that it’s ending, but I’m glad it’s going out on its own terms.
How do you knwo it is going out on its own terms?
What a wonderful surprise!
I’m glad that it was renewed for a final season. I hope The Comeback gets renewed as well.
Our household is disappointed HBO had decided to cancel Getting On. We have doctors in the family and they think it’s hilarious … Hopefully a movie or something like it in the future.!
It a nurse. Love this show!! A movie would be a lovely gift.
Stupid autocorrect. I. Am. A. Nurse.
Niecy Nash deserves an Emmy for her role on Getting On.
Fully agree! I love the entire cast, but Niecy Nash did an award winning job in her role!! I’ve always loved Laurie Metcalf and she was awesome in this, as well! I miss this show already and I just binge-watched the entire series. 😩
I’m bing watching now..I love it!! As a longterm care nurse I find the humor extremely smart
No word on The Comeback!?
I absolutely love this show. Why end it so soon. Well I hope they give us more than six episodes this time. I mean six episodes count as a season?? Come on HBO!
It’s going to be a rough year for Laurie Metcalf and her other show The McCarthys (CBS) is still on the verge of cancellation.
Yes! I’m just thankful Getting On is coming back. Its such a little gem of a show.
Hoping they announce a renewal for Looking soon.
I’m glad it’s coming back to close up the storyline, but I’m sad to see it go.
Woo hoo…love this show!
One of the best shows on tv. Wish they would reconsider and keep it going.
One of the few shows that makes me laugh out loud. Sorry to see it ending.
Love this show! Very happy it’s returning but super sad HBO has decided to end it after one more season. Reconsider!
Getting On is just about the most brilliant show I have ever watched.Every actor is just so spot on with their character.Laurie Metcalf is truly amazing !!Can’t wait for new episodes.
when and what time can it be seen on HBO?
There aren’t many shows that make me watch every episode as it comes on, and even watch the one’s I’ve seen every time they’re on when I flip on the TV – and I enjoy it just as much as the first time I saw it. I’m very deeply saddened to see this show ending. I adore every character on this show, and wish they would reconsider. The humor is the best!
I just watched the episode preceeding the finale and was very disappointed to find out that the series is ending. This is one of my all time favorite series. The series was funny and yet managed to elicit strong emotions. I will miss this series.
Please renew Getting On for another season – one of the best scripted comedies on HBO
Finally, a show that we can fully relate to & it’s being cancelled? Why?? It is a perfect balance of story line & cast members. PLEASE reconsider.
Not only should this show be renewed but it should be 60 minutes long. That’s how good it is.
I’m very sad that getting on is ending it has been such an enlightening series 1 of HBO’s best maybe it will be resurrected someday or maybe a movie made about it
Just watched the finale. What a great show and cast! Why, oh why HBO? We’re ratings really that bad? This is one of your best.
I love this show. Why would they cancel it?
I discovered this show a few months ago and just now watched the series finale. I’m sad that there aren’t going to be any more episodes. It really was a funny show.
I really didn’t know it was cancelled, I’ve been checking HBO constantly to see when new episodes return, so disappointed that it was cancelled, as a Nurse I found this show so entertaining can’t believe HBO cancelled this gem.
