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.

Glazer and Jacobson will both executive produce Mall Town USA, an animated show about a 13-year-old girl's afterschool adventures, and Young Professionals, which follows five housemates in Washington, D.C. Glazer will produce Platinum Status alongside her brother Elliot Glazer, who will also write and star in the show.
