00:00From getting left at the altar to facing her mental health struggles head-on,

00:11we've seen Rebecca Bunch's life dramatically evolve through a series of wacky musical numbers

00:16on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. But the end of the road for the CW show is in sight.

00:21On Monday, the network announced that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend will return for a fourth run

00:25in the 2018-2019 season. And according to its star and co-creator Rachel Bloom,

00:31that fourth season will be its final season. She tweeted Monday,

00:34But the CW declined to comment on if season four will indeed be the show's endgame.
