Comedy Central had confirmed a new season order back in August 2019, which the creative team had been working on throughout quarantine, only to have the network pull the plug over a year later.
Derek Waters’ Drunk History was a perfectly off-kilter slice of comfort comedy for six seasons, having started back in 2013.
The decision was part of an overall shift in programming, with Comedy Central now leaning harder on producing adult animation over live-action projects.
Its alcohol-infused and star-studded historical retellings will always remain hilarious, but we likely won’t be seeing any more of them unless someone steps in to renew Drunk History for Season 7 and actually follows through with it.
