'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' Season 1 News, Spoilers: Star, Showrunner On Season 1 Finale, Plans For Season 2
"Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," The CW's award-winning romantic musical comedy/drama, wrapped up its freshman season on Monday, April 18, with a major confession and a huge cliffhanger.
In "Paula Needs To Get Over Josh!" Rebecca (Rachel Bloom) finally admitted why she moved across the country. While she had previously explained that she had done so because she needed a change, in the season 1 finale, she finally confessed, telling Josh (Vincent Rodriguez III) that she had uprooted her life and moved to West Covina to be near him. While the confession in itself may have seemed crazy enough, the crazier thing is that Rebecca said this after she and Josh had already slept together.
Bloom, who co-created the series, recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the season 1 finale and explained that she and the show's writers had always known that Rebecca and Josh would end up consummating their relationship by the season's last episode.

The after-effects of them sleeping together, as well as of Rebecca's admission, will play out heavily in the show's second season.
"It's brilliant because it gets us into the arc of what we're wanting to do with season two," Bloom said. "In some ways, season one was sort of a prologue for what's about to happen."
According to Bloom, while half of season 1 was all about denial, season 2 will play with "the idea that all of the cards are on the table."
"Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" showrunner Aline Brosh McKenna also spoke about what happens in season 2 in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "There's going to be ramifications for everybody," she said. "[Rebecca is] going to try and get underneath whether Josh really does feel the same way about her.
While the sophomore season of "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" has already been confirmed, Bloom is hoping for more renewals in the future. According to her, the ideal number of seasons for "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" is four.
"We're a show about a very specific journey in a person's life," Bloom told THR. "And it's not really a sitcom meant to spit out copies of itself."
