Well, we’re glad it seems to be more of a creative decision than a straight up cancellation. Comedy Central hit Broad City will end after season 5, which is set to air in 2019.
That doesn’t mean we won’t see stars Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson on Comedy Central again. The two have reportedly signed a development deal with Comedy Central, and already have a few upcoming projects that they’ve announced.
Kent Alterman, President of Comedy Central, confirmed that it was Glazer and Jacobson who wanted to wrap things up. “It’s purely driven by creative storytelling. They came to us and said, ‘We think that we need to figure out how to resolve a final season.’ They have great ideas about how they want to end it, and the last thing we want to do is to have someone not end something on their terms,” he said to Deadline.
