Broad City was just renewed for its fifth and final season


Broad City is back, baby. The Comedy Central hit will return for its fifth and final season in 2019, per a press release.
But fret not: Even when the shenanigans stop, it won't be the last we see of the show's creators/stars/showrunners Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson.
Comedy Central has claimed the first look at any TV content the pair create or develop, both together or separately. That applies to three projects already in the works: Mall Town USA, Platinum Status, and Young Professionals.
