Mr. Inbetween was initially commissioned for Australian channel FX as its main original series production but premiered on Showcase following the departure of FX Australia between commission and release. The shooting was done in multiple places in Sydney.
The second season was renewed on October 9, 2018, and aired on September 12, 2019, while the third and final season was renewed on May 26, 2020, and was launched on May 25, 2021. The series was completed on July 13, 2021, after producing a total of three seasons and an overall twenty-six episodes.

Mr. Inbetween Season 4 Expected Plot
Ray decides to sell his house. He takes Brittany to meet Bill for the first time, now seemingly at peace with him. As he sets up his trailer out in the wilderness, Gary informs him that his pornography business has taken off. Freddy sends Ray to go look for Alex, who has resurfaced, and he takes Dave with him, only to be ambushed by Rafael and two of his men. They shoot Dave, who dies of his injuries after begging Ray to take care of his young son. We may expect that the writers would continue the same story with a crisp.
Mr. InBetween Season 3 Recap!
While the show Mr. Inbetween ended long ago, we still remember everything from the show. The show’s main plot takes place in Sidney with the protagonist, hitman Ray Shoesmith. Shoesmith balances family and crime. He helps his daughter Brittany, ex-wife Jacinta, and girlfriend Ally, as well as his terminally sick brother Bruce.
Ray decides to sell his home, move into a camper in a remote location, see his father, and tell Brittany that he won’t be around for some time for unknown reasons. Freddy gives him a task to look into a biker in the same remote area, and Dave accompanies him as support. Since Freddy was forced to decide between handing Ray up or being killed by Rafael, it turns out that he has set Ray up.
The situation quickly turns into a large-scale shootout, during which Ray attempts to run, loses Dave, accidentally ignites someone, and goes on a rampage, resulting in Rafael’s death and an unexpected respite for Freddy. Uncertainty surrounds why Freddy is still alive, but Ray appears to have come to the conclusion that killing Freddy would only prolong the never-ending cycle of retaliation and betrayal. He is pleased to stay in Freddy’s dreams instead, suggesting that he would rather be a ghost than indeed kill Freddy.
Ray is a cab driver with a belly and long hair in his retired status. His most recent fare seems to be going after him, either because they were paid to do so or because they’re just sick. Ray took a break, but it’s unclear if he still has what it takes to survive. Recently, crime dramas have become popular. Although such shows generally have a similar premise, this show’s story is unique. Action, thrills, and drama abound—do watch it!

The series might have ended for good but fans are hopeful to see Ray Shoesmith in the near future for now, the chapter is closed.
