Despite previous comments seeming to suggest otherwise.

Standup comedian and actress Amy Schumer clarified that, despite previous comments, her popular TV series, Inside Amy Schumer, had not been canceled. “Comedy Central has provided us with a wonderful home and we couldn’t he happier here,” she wrote on Twitter on Thursday. “I am just touring.” She added: “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.” The initial misunderstanding arose after her ex-writer Kurt Metzger received widespread criticism for his response to rape accusations against a fellow comedian. “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,” she initially wrote this week, setting off alarms that Inside was officially over.
