Speaking to The Wrap this week, Key announced that the show would end after the already filmed episodes.
"This is our final season - and it's not because of Comedy Central, it's us," he explained. "It was just time for us to explore other things, together and apart. I compare it to Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. We might make a movie and then do our own thing for three years and then come back and do another movie. I'm thinking we could do that every three years - take a year, go bang out a movie. That's the plan right now."
The duo will clearly work together on more projects, some of which are already on the way.
There will be Key & Peele productions coming up," Key said. "We're doing the reboot of Police Academy, and there's a TV show in the works that me might do for Comedy Central. There's lots of stuff we have cooking up."
We also know that the duo have a "cat caper" entitled Keanu coming to theaters in the near future (via Slash Film).
