British comedy Catastrophe will make its American debut this evening on Facebook.

While the first season will be available Friday on Amazon Prime, the 24-minute debut episode hits Facebook at 7 p.m. ET today and will be available for 48 hours. The "virtual screening party" is also expected to include engagement with the series' stars and writers, Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan. The episode will include the hashtag bug #CatastropheTV.

Delaney stars as a Boston ad executive, and Horgan plays a London schoolteacher whose one-week stand leads to an accidental pregnancy.
