What’s This TV Show About?
A Netflix sitcom, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt stars Ellie Kemper, Tituss Burgess, Carol Kane, Jane Krakowski, Fred Armisen, and Mike Carlsen. It follows Kimmy Schmidt (Kemper), who was held by Indiana doomsday cult leader, the Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne (Jon Hamm) for fifteen years. Resolving to reject the “victim” label, Kimmy decides not to return to the Midwest. Armed with little more than an eighth-grade education, light-up Sketchers, an overabundance of optimism, and a new, quirky circle of friends, Kimmy takes on New York City.
On May 4, 2018, Netflix announced Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt would end with season four. A follow-up special airs May 12, 2020. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Unless they decide to publicize viewership, it is usually difficult to predict whether Netflix will cancel or renew their TV shows. In this case though, it was announced before the release date, that the fourth season would be the final season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. That said, I have some good news (and not just for my hungry belly). It sounds like the decision to end Kimmy Schmidt’s tale with season four was a creative one, which means fans may get some closure. To that end, Netflix is reportedly in talks with producer Universal Television to end Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt with a follow-up movie, which would debut on Netflix after season four. For now, I’ll keep an eye on the trades and press releases and update this page with breaking developments.
