Louis CK has taken a long abatement from produce novel episode of his acclaim FX seriesLouie , and today FX executive John Landgraf suggested the holiday could become a lasting one . Louielast aireda new sequence in May of 2015 and since then its Divine and star has moved on to a concourse of other projects include the tragi - comic seriesHorace and Pete , whichhe distributedover his own website .
Having instal himself as amajor stand - up comic , Louis CK went to FX with his idea for a semi - autobiographic series and hashed out a unique deal that gave him complete originative control . As author , director and star , CK turnedLouieinto one of television ’s most forward-looking drollery serial , fuse stand - up with slice of his own life as a struggle comedian bringing up two young daughter , and permeate the show with a unambiguously unknown and surrealistic point - of - vista . The show has so far aired five season , and after Season 5 CK indicated that he was takingan extended breakfrom the show .
With CK ’s " respite " now in year two , FX President and General Manager John Landgraf say at TCA there is nothing unexampled to describe onLouie , and indicated that the time to come of the show is indeed very much in doubtfulness :
No update . I think it ’s possible there ’ll never be another time of year of Louie . I also think its possible there ’ll be four or five more seasons over the next 30 twelvemonth .
Landgraf also address Louis CK ’s reasons for mistreat away from the show :
I think [ Louis had ] run out of things to say about that meter in his lifetime . " Do I desire to take the Louie on my show through the pathway of success I ’ve start through ? " If it ever add up back it will be a very unlike show .
Meanwhile , Louis CK continues to push telecasting boundaries in other ways . His showHorace and Petewas arguably as large a formal experimentation and as big atonal gambleas any season ofLouie , and introduced a young approach to self - statistical distribution that cut back out networks completely ( and ended up driving its Lord deep into debt ) . Even ifLouienever comes back , you’re able to be certain Louis CK will continue create great and intriguing body of work , and pushing the gasbag of what comedy can be and how it can be deliver to the masse shot . We ’re all just waiting to see what Louis will do next ( fingerbreadth cross forPootie Tang 2 ) .
We ’ll keep you update onLouieas more information becomes available .
