Louie, Your Favourite Lovable Loser, Is Returning To TV On May 5
FX just made the announcement. Add "masturbation jokes and existential ennui" to your diary.
That aching hole of melancholy that’s been eating up your heart for the past 18 or so months? It’s finally about to get filled. Overnight, US network FX announced that your favourite greasy pizza-eatin’, chronic masturbatin’, lovably parentin’ misanthrope Louis CK will be returning for the fourth season of Louis on May 5.
According to TV Week, the season will have 14 episodes, even though the network only ordered 13, which is a nice bonus. The last season of the series wrapped up way back in September 2012, a fair lay-off considering CK writes, directs, stars in, edits and produces the entire series with his own bare hands. “I don’t want to be making the doughnuts,” he said at the time of his anticipated long hiatus. “I want it to be something that comes from somewhere important and stays funny.”
Well, I guess some important shit’s finally happened. Or else he’s just upped the level of his pizza-eating and masturbating for the past 18 months, in which case this season’s gonna be incredible. During the announcement, John Landgraf, the CEO of FX added: “Louis said he needed extra time between seasons three and four of his show because he needed to make it even better. Based on the first three episodes we’ve seen, remarkably, he accomplished his goal.”
Fuck you, guy — give us the episodes!
