Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele Are Ending“Key & Peele” After This Season

(via The Wrap)

Keegan and Jordan want to emphasize that it’s them, not Comedy Central, that has brought them to this decision to end the show, which is regarded as a stand-out in this golden age of television.

After five groundbreaking seasons, both Key and Peele want the breathing room to explore other projects and passions and are thus bringing their highly acclaimed sketch series Key & Peele to a close. 

Take note that they do want to keep working together plenty in the future. On leaving, Keegan says, “I’m thinking we could do that every three years – take a year, go bang out a movie. That’s the plan right now.”

So, before you go getting all wistful and start going through Key & Peele all over again (a thing you should totally do), remember this isn’t the end of one of the great comedy duos to ever be. 

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler don’t get to work on everything together, but it’s all the more special when they do and perhaps that what it will be like with Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele in the years to come.
