‘Tis a sad day for “Key & Peele” fans.
The comedy show’s current season will be its last, co-creator and star Keegan-Michael Key confirmed to The Wrap on Friday. Key clarified that it was his and co-creator Jordan Peele’s decision to end the show and not Comedy Central’s, where it airs.
“It was just time for us to explore other things, together and apart,” Key told The Wrap. “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.”
Peele took to Twitter to comment on the show’s end:
Don’t miss the last 8 episodes!
