  • ‘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.

  • ‘Broad City’ Season 4 Premiere Delayed Until September

    Count on Abbi and Ilana to show up late.

    Comedy Central announced that the Season 4 premiere of “Broad City” has been delayed. Originally scheduled for Aug. 23, the premiere is now set for Sept. 13 at 10:30 p.m. The network said the delay was a simple scheduling change.

    The premiere episode, titled “Sliding Doors,” flashes back to when the best friends — played by show creators Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer — first met in 2001.

    The fourth season finds “Broad City” going all “Game of Thrones” — winter is coming to New York City. The duo also land new jobs, welcome a visit from Abbi’s mom, trip out on mushrooms, discover their witchdom, and travel to Florida.

    And of course, the season will boast a number of high-profile guest stars, including RuPaul, Shania Twain, Steve Buscemi, Sandra Bernhard, Mike Birbiglia, Jane Curtin, Susie Essman, Peri Gilpin, Alysia Reiner, Amy Ryan, Constance Shulman, and Wanda Sykes.

  • 13 Times Abbi and Ilana From ‘Broad City’ Were Ultimate #FriendshipGoals

    Broad City” — with the same first names — are amazing. Our friends are great, but we won’t be fully happy until we get to Ilana/Abbi levels.

  • ‘Broad City’ Season 3 Trailer Is Peak #FriendshipGoals

    Broad CityTrue friendship: making sure your pal has packed their anti-depressants, anti-anxieties, and vibrator!

    The full trailer for “Broad City” season 3 is here, and it’s a delightful mash of Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer being as wacky, cuckoo, and lovably themselves. There’s not much sense of what this season’s plots will be, but the trailer does show a lot of funny gags, including Ilana in a dog hoodie and the two of them trying to ride a bike together.
    They’re still coming up with great business ideas (a gynecologist who’s also a bikini waxer really is genius), and helping each other out of tough situations (like when Ilana gets stuck in a chain belt). We also get glimpses at cameos by Cynthia Nixon, Blake Griffin, and Tony Danza.

    “Broad City” season 3 premieres Feb. 17 at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central.
