After five years of cracking us up with their hilarious antics, Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer have announced that season five of Broad City will be the show's last — and if you aren't sure how to handle that (because, same), don't freak just yet, because this isn't the last we'll be seeing of them.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, season 5, which is set to air sometime early in 2019, will be the last one in the series — and though we'll be bummed to say goodbye to two of TV's most ~relatable~ females, it's for a good reason.
"Broad City has been our baby and first love for almost 10 years, since we started as a web series," Glazer and Jacobson said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "It’s been a phenomenal experience, and we’ve put ourselves into it completely. Broad City’s always had a spontaneous pace and feeling, and ending after season five honors that spirit. We are very excited to bring new voices and points of view to Comedy Central and continue our collaboration together in new ways."
It totally makes sense — after all, Abbi and Ilana will eventually outgrow their Broad City characters as they enter new chapters in their IRL lives. Besides, it sounds like they still have plenty of projects up their sleeves: the duo has signed a first-look television deal with Comedy Central, and they already have three shows in the pipeline. While neither will star in any of them, two of them, Mall Town USA and Young Professionals, will be executive produced by both Glazer and Jacobson, and another, called Platinum Status, is written by and stars none other than Elliott Glazer, Ilana's brother — and she'll have a hand in producing it too.
Of course, we'll be missing them on our screens, but also know anything they touch will turn into ~comedic gold~, so we'll just keep saying "YAS KWEEN!" as they enter their next chapter.
