'Broad City' Set to End After Show's Fifth and Final Season
TV giveth and TV taketh away.
"Broad City" has officially been renewed for its fifth season, but unfortunately, Season 5 will be the show's last. Comedy Central announced the good and bad news Thursday, as Variety reports. Co-creators and stars Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson will return for the show's final season, and Comedy Central President Kent Alterman says that "they've got great ideas for how they want to wind down the series." YQY to that.
There is another silver lining: Comedy Central is looking to bring us more from Glazer and Jacobson. Viacom reached a first-look deal with the duo, and Comedy Central currently has three new series in development that has either one or both of the women executive producing.
"We've had such a great collaboration with them and everyone was motivated to continue it," Alterman said, per Variety. "We also think that they've really evolved so much as producers and forces of nature."
"Broad City" Season 5 will premiere in 2019.
