Production
Channel 4 announced the production of the series in May of 2014 because the pilot turned out to be extremely successful. Before that, the series was suggested to BBC, but they rejected to broadcast the show after they had read the script.
The title Catastrophe was inspired by a phrase of one of the characters from Zorba the Greek movie, who said that his married life living together with kids and wife in their family house was a full catastrophe. The soundtrack was composed by Oli Julian.
On the 28th of January 2015, the series was prolonged for season 2 to air in October of 2015. The chief creative officer of Channel 4 said that Catastrophe was a real gem of the comedy genre. Sharon and Rob were perfect portraying their characters.
