The fourth and final season of television’s musical comedy series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend premieres October 12 on The CW.

The show also stars Vincent Rodriguez III, Pete Gardner, Vella Lovell, Gabrielle Ruiz, David Hull, and Erick Lopez. This season, fans can expect guest stars Patton Oswalt, Queer Eye’s Tan France, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding’s Nia Vardalos.

The show features original music by Bloom, Jack Dolgen, and Adam Schlesinger. The show was nominated for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics in 2017. It had been nominated for four Primetime Emmys in 2016 and won two: Outstanding Single-Camera Editing for a Comedy Series for Kabir Akhtar as well as Outstanding Choreography for Kathryn Burns. That year, Bloom won a Golden Globe for her performance as Rebecca.
