Caroline Framke Chief TV Critic It’s not an exaggeration to say that the world in which “Inside Amy Schumer” once existed no longer exists. Premiering in 2013 right as TV criticism and chatter was finding its internet foothold (for better and for worse), Schumer’s sardonic sketch series took pleasure in twisting second-wave #feminist rhetoric into a pretzel, pushing the bounds of “good taste,” and wryly skewering the comedian at its center as a hopelessly “unfuckable” woman who, depending on the day, either cared too much or couldn’t give less of a damn. At its most pointed, “Inside Amy Schumer” rooted around in the detritus of society’s standards with enviable precision; at its dullest, it gave in to lampooning the same stereotypes that comedy’s been hammering for decades under the guise of Schumer playing a caricature of herself. Ending in June 2016, however, also meant that the show narrowly escaped the waves of liberal white women’s anger following Donald Trump’s electoral victory, at which point it might’ve become something else completely. 

Amy Schumer has hailed her three-year-old is son as a "supreme athlete". The 41-year-old comedian is mother to Gene with husband Chris Fischer and explained that the little one "talks too much" and "loves to work out". She said: "I can't.

Selome Hailu Hulu has renewed adult animated comedy “Solar Opposites” for its fifth season. The news was announced at a panel discussion about the series at New York Comic Con on Thursday. The Season 5 renewal comes before the show’s fourth season has even debuted. Season 3 of the series arrived on Hulu in July, with Season 4 set to premiere with 12 episodes sometime in 2023. The series has aired several holiday specials, most recently “Sinister Halloween Scary Opposites Solar Special,” which arrived on Hulu on Oct. 3. Justin Roiland, best known for creating Adult Swim’s “Rick and Morty” with Dan Harmon, co-created “Solar Opposites” along with “Star Trek: Lower Decks” creator Mike McMahan. The series centers around a team of four aliens who are evenly split on whether Earth is awful or awesome. Korvo (Roiland) and Yumyulack (Sean Giambrone) only see the pollution, crass consumerism and human frailty while Terry (Thomas Middleditch) and Jesse (Mary Mack) love their TV, junk food and fun stuff. Their mission is to protect the Pupa, a living super computer that will one day evolve into its true form, consume them and terraform the Earth. Season 3 saw the group of aliens strive to become less of a team and more of a family.

Solar Opposites hasn’t even begun its fourth season and Hulu is already wanting more: The streamer announced today at New York Comic-Con that it has renewed the series for a fifth season.
