'Key and Peele' Renewal News: Show Plans to End After Season 5
Fans of the sketch comedy show 'Key and Peele' may be very disappointed to hear that it is now on its last season.
The Comedy Central show has made it five seasons and the two talents have finally made the confirmation in a recent interview with The Wrap.
"This is our final season - and it's not because of Comedy Central, it's us," said Keegan Michael Key. "It was just time for us to explore other things, together and apart. I compare it to Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. We might make a movie and then do our own thing for three years and then come back and do another movie.
"I'm thinking we could do that every three years - take a year, go bang out a movie. That's the plan right now."
The show has become widely successful and has even received an Emmy nomination. It has certainly done wonders for both the comedian's careers also.
"The show won a Peabody Award in 2013, with a citation that noted, 'They tackle racially charged issues and ideas like no one else on television ... They break new ground even as they lay claim to all of comedy's traditions,'" The Wrap cited.
In the mean time the two plan on doing separate projects with many opportunities lined up.
"There will be Key & Peele productions coming up," Key said. "We're doing the reboot of 'Police Academy,' and there's a TV show in the works that me might do for Comedy Central. There's lots of stuff we have cooking up."
