It also stars Carrie Fisher as Rob's mother Mia, while Ashley Jensen (of Extras fame) stars as Sharon's friend Fran, and Mark Bonnar plays Fran's husband Chris.
Horgan is already committed as a showrunner on Sarah Jessica Parker's new HBO series (!), but she has previously said she would be happy to do both.
Channel 4's chief creative officer, Jay Hunt said: “Catastrophe is a real comedy gem. Sharon and Rob have done a magnificent job and we’re already looking forward to series 2”.
