‘Inside Amy Schumer’ hasn’t been canceled, but don’t expect new episodes anytime soon

Amy Schumer gave her fans a scare when she tweeted out a message Wednesday that seemed to suggest that her Comedy Central show, Inside Amy Schumer, had been canceled. She clarified her remarks Thursday, explaining that a fifth season is still coming, but that it may be a while. Take a moment to breathe a sigh of relief if you need to.

The comedian’s profile has clearly risen over the last year, boosted by her show’s first Emmy wins and the box office success of last year’s Trainwreck. Her schedule has apparently only gotten busier since. Not only did Schumer land a huge book deal, she teamed up with Jennifer Lawrence to co-write a screenplay, has signed on for a new Fox comedy, and is set to embark on a world tour, among other projects.

All of those commitments meant that something had to give, and in this case, that something was Inside Amy Schumer. When Schumer tweeted that they “[weren’t] making the show anymore” and that “there are no writers for it,” fans were understandably worried. However, her subsequent tweets made it clear that Inside Amy Schumer has not been canceled and that season 5 will come … eventually. In the meantime, she shared that she’ll be busy with stand-up shows, writing, and other projects.

While we wait for more Inside Amy Schumer in the months — or even years — to come, we can at least look forward to the comedian continuing to entertain us; her upcoming world tour kicks off in Europe on August 26 and runs through the end of the year, and she’ll also continue to appear on screens big and small. That should help when it comes to mitigating any disappointment caused by the Inside Amy Schumer hiatus.

Netflix is making sure that animation fans are well served in August with the first two Despicable Me movies, Bee Movie, and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2. However, Netflix's biggest recent addition is one of 2022's biggest animated hits: DreamWorks' Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

Netflix's deals with Sony Pictures Animation, DreamWorks Animation, and Universal Pictures have given it a powerhouse library of animated films. And that's before we even get into Netflix's impressive originals like The Sea Beast. To help you keep track of what's new and what you can stream right now, we've updated our list of the best animated movies on Netflix.

Howard the Duck in "Howard the Duck."

The science-fiction genre has a vast smorgasbord of cheesy films stretching way back to the early days of cinema. Such pictures are known for their weird stories, unrealistic dialogue, low-budget productions, and exaggerated acting.

While many of these films have been panned by critics and audiences alike, some of them have garnered success for being "so bad, they're good." Whether or not they have been held up by a dedicated fan base, these seven movies stand out as the cream of the cheesy sci-fi crop.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked

Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
