It’s alive, dammit: Netflix has renewed “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” for a fourth season, the streaming service announced on Tuesday.
“Kimmy Schmidt” stars Ellie Kemper as the naive survivor of a doomsday cult who moves to New York to start her life after 15 years stuck in an underground bunker. The supporting cast includes Tituss Burgess as Kimmy’s aspiring-actor roommate Titus, Jane Krakowski as her filthy rich former employer Jacqueline, and Carol Kane as her wacky landlord Lillian.
Season 3 of “Kimmy Schmidt” debuted on Netflix last month, with all 13 episodes dropping on May 19. The series, co-created by Tina Fey and “30 Rock” alum Robert Carlock, was originally developed at NBC, but moved over to Netflix before it made it to air. Since then, it’s racked up a total of eleven Emmy nominations, including two for Outstanding Comedy Series.
The show is also a haven for celebrity guest stars: Season 3 included turns from Jon Hamm, Josh Charles, Ray Liotta, Maya Rudolph, Daveed Diggs and Laura Dern.
