Recurring guest star Ashley Fink‘s role is also expected to be reduced in future episodes of the hit show.

The series is moving to Sky when it returns in the autumn. The previous seasons had been screened on E4 and Channel 4.

The move comes as part of Sky‘s deal to screen all of US network’s HBO‘s output in the UK, including new shows Boardwalk Empire and Game Of Thrones as well as their back catalogue of hits such as The Sopranos and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
