Crashing season 3 will be the last installment of the series; confirms multiple sources.

The series’ first season aired on the HBO network in the United States from February 19 to April 9, 2017. The series mostly unfolds the behind-the-scenes look at the world of stand-up comedy.

Besides Holmes and Apatow, Judah Miller, Igor Srubshchik, Oren Brimer, Josh Church, Dave Rath, and Greg Fitzsimmons have also ventured their share into the series.
Apatow sort of announced the cancellation of Crashing on a recent episode of TBS’ comedy talk show, Conan.
“Well, it’s not really canceled. We’re just going to stop making it.”
Apatow humored it with the show’s host Conan O’Brien.
When O’Brien asked what stopped Apatow and the team from making more, the producer said, “They told us we should never make any more. We were very happy that we got to tell the story that we wanted to tell, and we do have an ending.”
An insider from HBO confirmed the news, claiming the show will officially end its run on the network after the finale premiers this Sunday at 10 p.m.
While Apatow shared with O’Brien that he and the rest of the production team are “happy that they got to tell the story they wanted to tell,” the end of Crashing on HBO doesn’t necessarily mean the story is over. O’Brien pleaded Apatow to use his “pull in the business” in an attempt to save it—to which the producer quite seemingly concurred and said, “if that doesn’t work, he has another idea: a Crashing movie.”
