You’re the Worst was one of my favorite new TV offerings from last year, a hilarious modern depiction of love and relationships through the eyes of two characters that are pretty terrible people – except when they’re together.
After spending an entire season wondering if Jimmy (Chris Geere) and Gretchen (Aya Cash) would finally be able to figure things out, the finale ended with the couple deciding to move in together – although to be fair, a large part of that decision was predicated on the fact that Gretchen’s apartment was on fire at the time. The second season of You’re the Worst will explore the ramifications of that decision, as Jimmy and Gretchen take their relationship to the next level.

Based on this trailer, it doesn’t look like the show will be missing a beat. We’ve already heard about some of the guest stars we can expect during the new season, and both Geere and Cash look to be slipping comfortably back into their characters for more racy humor, with just the right touch of sweetness.
You’re the Worst Season 2 will premiere on Wednesday, September 9, exclusively on FXX.
An original comedy from writer and executive producer Stephen Falk, You’re The Worstputs a dark twist on the romantic comedy genre. Narcissistic, brash, and self-destructive “Jimmy Shive-Overly,” played by Chris Geere (The Spa), thinks all relationships are doomed. Cynical, people-pleasing, and stubborn “Gretchen Cutler,” played by Aya Cash (The Wolf of Wall Street), knows that relationships aren’t for her. So when they meet at a wedding, it’s only natural that the two of them go home together and, despite their better judgment, begin to find themselves falling for each other.
Rounding out the cast is Desmin Borges (The Good Wife), who plays “Edgar Quintero,” Jimmy’s once homeless, war veteran roommate, and Kether Donohue (The Carrie Diaries) as “Lindsay Jillian,” Gretchen’s best friend and former partner in crime who’s now struggling with a life of domesticity.
You’re The Worst is a modern look at love and happiness told through the eyes of two people who haven’t been very successful with either. It’s the story of Gretchen and Jimmy, fear, heartbreak, romance, sex, food, Los Angeles, friendship, and the fact that sometimes the worst people make the best partners.
