Showtime is in negotiations to air more episodes of Web Therapy, but no deal is yet in place.

In the fourth season, Fiona is building her online business and trying not to be distracted by her husband’s political campaign. O’Donnell appears in the first four episodes in regards to her book, which is ghostwritten by her assistant (played by Bucatinsky).

In his three episodes, O’Brien seeks help with his “anger issues,” according to the producers.

There have been stars on Web Therapy before, but they always played characters. O’Brien is the first to be himself.
