The critically-acclaimed Showtime series Couples Therapy has struck a chord with viewers and will officially be returning for an extended third season next year. Season two of Couples Therapy received praise from critics and fans alike for its unflinching depiction of real couples getting real therapy. Dr. Orna Guralnik’s insight and expertise will be on full display once again while viewers follow the therapeutic journeys of multiple couples looking to repair their fractured relationships.

Season one of Couples Therapy was fascinating, and in season two, things got even more dramatic due to the pandemic. The second season factored in COVID-19 and the effect it had not just on the show’s production, but also on the couples being filmed and even the course of their therapy itself. Whether it was a wife ranting against her husband for being lazy or a husband grappling with addiction in the face of quarantine, season two featured unique issues that were all too familiar to viewers weathering the pandemic as well.

Fans of the first two seasons can rest easy knowing a third is on the way—and it’s going to be double-sized. The extended third season will be split into two parts that will both air in 2022. Renowned psychologist and psychoanalyst Dr. Orna Guralnik will return with all-new couples in each half of the season. Dr. Orna may have had reservations about the show at first, but it has proven to be something that truly resonates with fans.

“I believe what draws people to Couples Therapy are the raw, transformative journeys couples go through in treatment and the chance to witness the fascinating ways the unconscious reveals itself, all usually hidden behind closed doors,” Dr. Orna commented in a press release. “Every session underscores the extraordinary human capacity to work through the most challenging problems through empathy and love.” There are certainly difficulties that come with filming sessions, but Dr. Orna has found a way to make it work.

“We are in awe of the bravery of these couples and deeply grateful for the continued opportunity to capture and share their struggles with the world,” added the show’s award-winning creators Josh Kriegman, Elyse Steinberg, and Eli Despres. “The therapeutic work is not just gripping—it is also a profound reminder of the power of reconciliation and the worthiness of striving to better love one another.” There aren’t many more details about season three yet, but if it’s anything like season two, the show will present an open and honest look at real-life therapy.

Throughout the first two seasons of Couples Therapy, Dr. Orna helped the show’s couples navigate their relationship while being insightful for viewers examining their own lives. The show clearly resonates with its fans as well as critics, who have found the series to be a unique and detailed look at what makes a relationship healthy or not. The third season of the celebrated show is sure to provide an honest look at therapy the same way the first two seasons have, and 2022 can’t come soon enough.
