Last May, the hilarious show “Louie” by comedian Louis C.K. ended it’s fifth season only to go on what the media called “an extended hiatus.” Unfortunately now, it seems like C.K. is planning to extend that forever, since he feels like he has nothing left to write for the show.

“I think the guy that I played on the show — the just-divorced kinda under-water dad/struggling New York comic — I don't think I have stories for that guy anymore,” the comedian said on an episode of The Hollywood Reporter's awards podcast.

It feels like C.K. has been trying to leave the project and quit while he’s ahead, but fans of the show simply refuse to believe him. Just last month, the comedian told HitFix TV critic Alan Sepinwall in an interview that he just couldn’t “feel the show anymore” and that it felt “really far in the past.”

He again reiterated the feeling at Variety’s panel for the show “Baskets.” “I don’t know. I just don’t know. I don’t know. I think about it sometimes and I just don’t know," he said. "It’s such an autobiographical thing that I could do a version of ‘Louie’ when he’s 60, if anyone gives a sh-t… By the time I want to, I might say, ‘Hey guys,’ and they’ll be like, ‘Who is this?’”

It’s important to note the comedian took a break of the sort between seasons three and four of the show, so it might be understandable that fans haven’t lost hope. “If I'm on TV again doing a single-camera show, it's ‘Louie’,” he insisted.

There is one thing he doesn’t want to do, and that’s making more episodes just for the sake of getting them done. "I don't ever want to do the show because I owe another season," he says. "I don't think that's fair to anybody,” C.K. explained.
