  • Glazer says the show's creators intentionally ended 'Broad City' after 5 seasons to avoid running it 'into the ground', opting for a satisfying conclusion on their own terms.
  • The decision came as Glazer and co-star Abbi Jacobson entered their 30s, feeling it was the right time to move on to new creative challenges and not get 'stuck' in their iconic characters.
