Some stories linger long after they first air, leaving a mark on audiences with their mix of heart, humor, and unforgettable performances. The Big C, starring Laura Linney, is one of those tales. Praised for its clever storytelling and grounded themes, the series captured viewers’ attention during its original television run more than a decade ago. Now, it is set to make its way to Netflix.

The title’s availability on the streaming giant will offer both old admirers and newcomers the chance to discover or rediscover what made this series so acclaimed.

Laura Linney’s acclaimed Showtime dramedy The Big C is coming to Netflix this month. All four seasons of it, spanning 40 episodes, will begin streaming on November 14 across multiple regions, including the US, UK, Australia, Latin America, France, and Italy. The series follows Linney’s Cathy Jamison, a reserved suburban schoolteacher whose world is turned upside down when she is diagnosed with stage IV melanoma. Instead of retreating, though, she chooses to embrace life boldly, making impulsive and heartfelt choices.

Alongside Laura Linney, the cast features Oliver Platt as her husband Paul, Gabriel Basso as her son Adam, John Benjamin Hickey as her eccentric brother Sean, and Gabourey Sidibe as a feisty student who becomes an unlikely friend. Originally airing between 2010 and 2013, the series earned praise for its dark humor and touching portrayal of life, love, and loss, which also scored it some big wins on the Hollywood award circuit.

From the Golden Globes to the Emmys, The Big C bagged it all during its era, courtesy of its resonant narrative.

As audiences embraced Laura Linney’s The Big C in the last decade, awards poured in for the dramedy. Linney won a Primetime Emmy in 2013 for Outstanding Lead Actress and a Golden Globe in 2011 for Best Actress in a TV Series – Musical or Comedy. The series also picked up several Emmy nominations for its sharp writing and memorable guest roles, including one for Cynthia Nixon.

The arrival of The Big C on Netflix opens the door for audiences to rediscover a series that masterfully blends humor and humanity. Linney, who has since impressed viewers with her gripping performance and direction in Ozark, is set to gain renewed recognition with the show’s arrival on the platform. As the series reaches streaming audiences worldwide, there is no doubt that its heartfelt storytelling will captivate viewers once again.
