This season will be the last for Comedy Central’s Key and Peele, which features comedians Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele.
The show was nominated for seven Emmy Awards this year, including Outstanding Variety Sketch Series and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Key. The show won a Peabody Award in 2013, and according to the LA Times, Key performed as one of his most well-known characters, President Obama along with the president himself.
Peele posted a link on his Twitter Saturday to a story from The Wrap saying that the show would be ending after its fifth season. He added, “Don’t miss the last 8 episodes!” and “Love u.”
Key told the Wrap, “It’s not because of Comedy Central; it’s us. 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.”
So the ending of the show will not be the end of the actors collaborations. “I’m thinking we could do that every three years,” said Key. “Take a year, go bang out a movie. That’s the plan right now.”
