'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' Season 5: Series Is Cancelled but a Movie May Be Coming

“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” season 5 is not happening after Netflix canceled the show. This means that the series will not return anymore after the fourth installment’s finale that was aptly titled “Kimmy Says Bye” aired.

However, although there is no possibility for “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” season 5, the good news is that a movie version may be released. The unexpected cancellation saddened many fans so if they will produce the movie, it will be a big gift to them.

In any case, as many people are still asking why Netflix had to ax “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” season 5, here is an explanation. According to Express, it was not because the show was not doing well but its showrunners, Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, really intended for the series to end after four seasons.

They decided to wrap up the drama because that was only how far the story goes. They ended it naturally as they think it is time to move on. Thus, if there will be a movie that will somehow serve as “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” season 5, the plot direction that it will take is uncertain.

Meanwhile, Ellie Kemper who plays the title role in the “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” series, bid goodbye to her character and the viewers who watched their show since season 1. In her interview with Parade, the actress said that it was hard to say goodbye but of course, they have no control over that.

“It’s always hard to leave something that has made such a huge impact on my life. Being on a show that is as brilliantly done as Kimmy Schmidt has been such a blessing,” she told the publication. “I don’t know exactly what I’m going to do going forward, but I feel that being able to work with these guys has been invaluable.”

Finally, as “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” comes to an end, its avid viewers should watch out for the announcement for the movie version. Although this is not confirmed yet, it was said that the possibility is high.
