Amy Schumer is heading back to the small screen!
Schumer, 41, broke the news Tuesday on Instagram, joking that she “wanted to bring back Inside Amy Schumer to burn any remaining bridges.”
“Inside Amy Schumer is returning for another season,” she announced. “And it’s better than ever. Well, not as good as season 3. But close.”
She teased that the forthcoming five episodes will not be “holding anything back. You won’t want to miss the show that will finally get me forever cancelled.”
She concluded facetiously, “It’s what the Queen would have wanted,” and signed the note: “Amy (The Duchess of Long Island).”
