As if killing a redneck and a never-heard-before husband randomly showing up wasn't bad enough, the downward spiral of the Gallaghers in the final season of the show has more thrill to ride out. The upcoming episode's synopsis bears all the proof you need about all that could go wrong when you're just trying to make ends meet.

But what's even more frustrating is the prolonged hiatus the show will be going on after this week's Episode 6. Although exciting things are in store, fans will be saddened to learn that there's no new 'Shameless' next week or the one after that. Read on to find out when the show returns.

'Shameless' Season 11 Episode 5: 'WTF was that ending?' ask fans, here's what's next for Sandy and Liam

According to TV listings, 'Shameless' will air next in a month's time. That means Season 11 Episode 7 will air on Sunday, March 7, at its usual 9 pm time slot on Showtime. This means there will be no new episodes on the Showtime app either, so paid subscribers have nothing to hold over the rest of the viewers.

This is particularly heartbreaking because we were almost settling into the new episode every alternate Sunday schedule, but now the show has thrown a curveball and decided to take a serious hiatus. Let's hope this is just to film more episodes in advance. 

As for the one that's coming up, Episode 7 titled 'Two at a Biker Bar, One in the Lake', will see "The Gallaghers disagree on the fate of their childhood home so a stranded Frank tries to get back to weigh in on the matter. Realizing that they have none, Ian and Mickey embark on a journey to find gay friends."

"Carl is upset after his night with Tish, and Debbie and Sandy have another visitor from Sandy’s past. Lip and Brad get ready to sell stolen bikes while Kevin has to think fast when he’s spotted riding a stolen chopper. Veronica hopes to pass the rent control bill with Liam’s help, but receives some unexpected news," the synopsis adds. 

Episode 6 is yet to reveal what's the immediate aftermath of the not-so-nice thing Liam's done, and will also decide the fate of the single thread Debbie and Sandy's relationship, or whatever it is, is hanging. Sandy's random husband out of the blue has really put things in perspective for Debbie, and hopefully, Liam learns that killing the neighbor is a bit too much, even by Gallagher standards.

'Shameless' Season 11 airs on Sundays at 9 pm on Showtime.
