More than five years later, Ilana Glazer is happy about where Broad City ended.

The Emmy winner recently explained why her and Abbi Jacobson‘s Comedy Central series, which was developed from their web series of the same name, ended after five seasons in 2019 despite the opportunity to continue.

“Broad City was like a big [deal],” she explained on NPR’s Wild Card podcast. “We had signed our contract of seven seasons and then, we both came to it, Abbi and I. And Comedy Central was like, ‘Huh?’ We were like ambivalent and unsure, but I think that’s something I would say is elegant about me knowing when things are at their end.”

Glazer added, “And like being able to trust that I am generative beyond this moment, whether it’s a creative project or anything, you know, but I am secure that I will keep generating new layers and do without thinking.
