Here's hoping they can get Liam Neeson for the finale. Key & Peele fans got some sad news today as Keegan-Michael Key revealed to The Wrap that this would be the final season of the hit Comedy Central show he co-created with Jordan Peele. The sketch comedy show is currently in its fifth season.
Key clarified that the decision to end the series had everything to do with them wanting to take on other projects, but the duo wouldn't be far from one another....
“This is our final season and 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… There will be Key & Peele productions coming up. 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.”
Key has turned up in multiple films already this year, including Pitch Perfect 2, Tomorrowland, and next week's Vacation. Besides the Police Academy reboot Key and Peele have planned, they're also developing the original comedy, Keanu, which they will star in alongside Gabrielle Union, Method Man, and Will Forte.
