Showtime has renewed "The Big C" for a fourth and final season and changed the half-hour dramedy's format.

The series starring Laura Linney as a woman coping with her cancer diagnosis will return with four hourlong episodes, the network said Monday at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour.



"From its inception, the show has been unique, and we've found a creative way to bring conclusion to Cathy's story," Showtime Entertainment president David Nevins told reporters.

"It's very important with a premium network that shows be able to plan their end and do it the right way. We have a contract with our audience. The show begain in the summer, Seasons 2 and 3 were spring and winter and they've got a very interesting and novel and form-breaking way to handle where the show is going."
