Although plot details remain secretive, it is known that season 4 will pick up on the cliffhanger of the recurring character Sazz (Jane Lynch) being killed by a sniper. Given that Sazz is the stunt double for Charles (Steve Martin), the question seems to be whether Charles was the intended target of the sniper shot. Like season 3 centered on Oliver's Broadway world, season 4 will likely put the spotlight on Charles' acting career.

Her boyfriend, Oliver (Martin Short), promises to visit.
