The end is nigh. With the series finale of FXX’s The League airing tonight, creator Jeff Schaffer spoke to TVLine about the end of the series and what he hopes fans get out of it.
The semi-improvised comedy, which stars Nick Kroll, Paul Scheer, Jon Lajoie, Mark Duplass, Stephen Rannazzisi, and Kate Aselton as members of a fantasy football league, first premiered on FX in 2009.
Speaking to TVLine, Schaffer said the finale will feel “like any other episode of The League.” He also mentioned that while certain storylines will be wrapped up, he hopes the finale will have fans saying “‘I can’t wait to see what happens,’ or, ‘I have to see another one.’”
The finale will see the return of Shiva, Paulie Litt’s The Oracle, and “the coolest guest star we’ve ever had on the show,” Schaffer said. Word is that guest star will be none other that Curb Your Enthusiasm‘s Larry David.
The season finale airs tonight on FXX and will be a full 30 minutes long, instead of the normal 22. Schaffer mentioned that an extended, hour-long version of the finale will be available at some point.
What do you think? Are you a fan of The League? Are you sad to see it end? What do you hope happens in the finale tonight?

Just watched the series for second time and still loved it , it’s a crime not to make more , it still has lots more to offer
My husband and I just binged watched The League and it is by far our favorite series ever. We told our fantasy league “The Denver Diehards” a group of 14 and they are now binge watching as well and said it is hilarious. We are mimicking the Shiva and Sacko (Ruxin) trophies. I sure hope it comes back. Miss it much.
C’mon don’t be douche nuggets…. make more seasons, **** is hilarious. Overboard but still funny. You gotta make that reveal of Pete’s kid a dream or something… Although it’s true it’s something they can mess around with Dre about. #moreseasonsnowplease

Im abit late in leaving a comment, as ive just found out about the league through netflix, it has an evil sense of humor too it, but it wss amazing, i was gutted when i got to the end, i will cetrinally miss pete and rafi the most, but kevin and taco are brilliant!!.

Keep going! This show is awesome and should not be ended!
I’m really pissed there is no league this year or any thing in the future… FX/FXX can go **** themselves
FX got lucky and are gonna blow it. Look at the ZERO marketing done on Sunny. Yeah **** you FX… get your **** together
This show has a fantastic evil sense of humor that I will miss if this show is truly gone. One of my favorites that I have enjoyed watching for years!
Let us hope netflix has the good sense to buy some episodes…the characters are great…Sorry Scarecrow, I miss Taco’s dumb ass the most but angry, ranting, semites are in short supply around here too..Hell, truth be told, I miss the whole gang…that awkward douche Andre makes me more uncomfortable than my mother talking about using tampons..And dirty Randy and Rafi “hot dog pockets” are more vile than any guy who mentions his mothers menses in a comment section..In short I am ready for some football, The League style.
This is show is brilliant! I have no idea about what they are talking about via all the sports babble, but I love the characters and all the situations they get themselves in. They have a rare dynamic and I would love to see several more seasons. Put it on Netflix and get away from FX.
Someone has to realize how stupid it would be to cancel this. Get more seasons and then make a movie!!!
I agree. A show like this is so rare. When audiences are finding different ways to watch content… you would think they wouldn’t toss the gem like this away. FX READ THIS AND DONT BE DUMB
My all time favorite show by a mile. Have rewatched so many times and am so sad its over. Please bring it back somehow. Why would you end it after 7 amazing seasons
All great shows have to fight to stay alive. Why is FX is dumb? FX READ THIS AND PUT THE LEAGUE BACK ON YOU UNIMAGINATIVE ********
FX READ THIS AND PUT THE LEAGUE BACK ON YOU UNIMAGINATIVE ********
Just finished this show on Netflix. Wish I had found out about it sooner. Hopefully they find a way to keep going
I miss it soooooo bad! Please come back!
