There wont be a fifth season of Maron. The comedy series has been cancelled at IFC, with Wednesday night’s fourth season finale now confirmed as the series finale.
The end of Maron was first hinted by host Marc Maron back in February, suggesting the series may have been terminated on his ‘own terms’ (or at least presented that way).
The lack of a prior announcement confirming Season 4 as the last would usually suggest cancellation, however, speaking on his WTF podcast, Maron insists the decision to end was his own:
“I’ve decided that this is it. It’s done. There’s ways to do more, but this was the vision. This season was the season. And I couldn’t be more thrilled about how it came out, how all four seasons came out.”
IFC president Jennifer Caserta said in a statement:
“IFC feels incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Marc and to bring his unique vision for a television show to our viewers, and we support his decision to bring the series to a close after this remarkable fourth season. We are enormously proud of Maron and the comedic, poignant and deeply personal ride Marc has taken us on. He is an incredibly authentic talent and we wish him nothing but the best.”
Thanks for four remarkable seasons, @MarcMaron. Watch the #Maron series finale this Wednesday 9P on @IFC. pic.twitter.com/5dMS6kE9O2

The worst crappy comedy show in the history of garbage. Thank God it is done.
