Inside Amy Schumer is an American sketch comedy television series created and hosted by Amy Schumer. The series aired on Comedy Central from April 30, 2013, to June 16, 2016, and was revived in 2022 for a fifth season on Paramount+. ^[1] Schumer and Daniel Powell served as the show's executive producers. The show received a Peabody Award and has been nominated for eight Primetime Emmy Awards, winning two.

Inside Amy Schumer completed its second season on June 3, 2014, and was renewed for a third season a week later. ^[2] The third season premiered on April 21, 2015, with a fourth season ordered the same day, ^[3] which premiered one year later on April 21, 2016. ^[4] On January 6, 2016, the show was renewed for a fifth season. ^[5] In August 2016, there was speculation though that the show had been cancelled despite the earlier announcement of renewal. Schumer denied the reports via social media, stating that production of the show was going on hiatus while she focused on touring. However, she also stated that she was "not making the show anymore". ^[6] According to a March 2019 interview by The New York Times, Schumer was under contract to produce another season of the show, leading to its eventual return. ^[7]

On February 24, 2021, it was announced that the show would be revived with five specials by Paramount+. ^[8] On September 20, 2022, it was reported that the five installments were no longer called specials but instead would be the five episodes of the fifth season: two episodes debuting on October 20, with the rest releasing weekly. ^[9] The series was canceled on June 26, 2023, and removed from Paramount+, while plans to air the fifth season were subsequently dropped on Comedy Central. ^{[10] [11]}

Structure

Each episode is divided into several segments of varying length – sketches, short excerpts of stand-up comedy and street interviews with members of the public. The majority of episodes finish with an interview of an unusual figure, often regarding sexuality or gender roles. Amy Schumer is the only person featured in every episode and each segment. For its fifth season, the show scrapped all stand-up and interview segments, and added partly animated musical numbers.
