At the very least, C.K. implied that future Louie stories would look greatly different from the sad-sack struggling comedian we’ve known, telling The Hollywood Reporter he’d want to come back with a slightly different autobiographical perspective down the line: I think the guy that I played on the show – the just-divorced, kinda under-water dad/struggling New York comic – I don’t think I have stories for that guy anymore …
I think, for me, if I’m on TV again doing a single-camera show, it’s Louie. But I don’t know.
Not only does the series remain on hiatus, C.K. himself says “I don’t think I have stories for that guy anymore.”
Certainly the Emmys push will keep C.K. in the limelight as well, but it doesn’t sound as if new Louie will be percolating in his mind anytime soon.
