Amy Schumer: Inside Amy Schumer 'Not Cancelled' Just On Hiatus For 'Foreseeable Future'
Amy Schumer is setting the record straight about the future of her Comedy Central series Inside Amy Schumer.
Roughly 12 hours after the comedienne sent Twitter into a frenzy by suggesting her Emmy-winning show was done, Schumer took to Twitter again to clarify the situation. The gist: Inside Amy Schumer is not dead, just... in a temporary coma?
#InsideAmySchumer is not cancelled. @ComedyCentral has provided us with a wonderful home and we couldn't be happier there. I am just touring

Doing Standup and focusing on writing more for the next year at least. We are slated for a season 5 but not in the foreseeable future.

I'm grateful @ComedyCentral is giving me this time to work on other projects. Now please grab my book #TheGirlWithTheLowerBackTattoo for now

The cancellation buzz ignited late Wednesday when Schumer — responding to a swirling controversy stemming from comments made by her friend and onetime Inside Amy Schumer writer Kurt Metzger — posted on Twitter, "I didn't fire Kurt. He isn't a writer for my show because we aren't making the show anymore. There are no writers for it."
