TV's popular curmudgeon is baaaaaack. "Louie," centered on the self-loathing semi-alter ego of comedian Louis C.K., will at long last return to FX with new episodes in May.
After a 19-month hiatus, the cable comedy will return to the small screen with a 14-episode fourth season that kicks off Monday, May 5 -- but will he have returned from China, where he baptized his new self at the end of Season 3?
And wait -- there's a special roll out after all that waiting. FX will air two all-new episodes back to back in the 10 p.m. hour for what will result in a seven-week run that culminates on June 16.
You can thank the multi-hyphenate headliner for a slightly bigger serving of crank. FX had originally ordered 13 episodes for the season, but creator-executive-producer-writer-star-director-editor Louis C.K. offered up a bonus 14th episode.
