It's been almost three years since Tim Robinson's absurdist sketch comedy masterpiece I Think You Should Leave graced Netflix with its chaotic, meme-worthy brilliance. Fans have been left wondering if the show—arguably the streamer's funniest original series—had been quietly canceled, especially as Robinson's star power soared elsewhere. But in a recent interview, Netflix's comedy chiefs offered a glimmer of hope that's more than just a hot dog-shaped car's headlights.
Robbie Praw and Tracey Pakosta, Netflix's top comedy executives, addressed the show's long-awaited fourth season in a new conversation. While no release date was given, Praw emphasized Robinson's "deep passion" for the project. "We don't pressure Tim, but we just know that he loves doing it, and I would imagine at some point he'll want to do it again," Praw said. That's the closest thing to a green light fans have heard since Season 3 dropped in 2023.
The series, which has become a cultural touchstone for its surreal sketches—like the infamous hot dog car crash denial, the macabre Coffin Flop reality show, and the baby pageant rivalry with "bad boy" Bart Harley Jarvis—has been on ice while Robinson juggles other projects. Last year, producer Akiva Schaffer told Collider that Robinson's busy schedule was the main holdup. "They have a deal, and they've been writing sketches, but they also have the HBO show, and they've got to finish up that season," Schaffer explained. "So, I don't have a date or anything like that, but just know there are sketches that I have not read that they have written."
That HBO show is The Chair Company, a surreal comedy series that Robinson created, writes, and stars in. After earning widespread acclaim upon its release last year, it's been renewed for a second season, which likely means Robinson's schedule remains packed. But the fact that sketches are being written for I Think You Should Leave suggests the show is far from dead.
For the uninitiated, I Think You Should Leave is a sketch comedy series created by and starring Robinson, with some sketches originally rejected during his brief stint on Saturday Night Live. The show has launched countless memes and catchphrases, thanks to its off-kilter humor and memorable guest stars like Patti Harrison, Vanessa Bayer, and Robinson's Detroiters co-star Sam Richardson.
While fans wait for Season 4, there's plenty to stream on Netflix, including 3 Must-See Netflix Movies to Stream This Week (May 4). And for those craving more comedy, 'Running Point' Season 2 shows how sharp writing can rack up massive viewership.
As for I Think You Should Leave, the message from Netflix is clear: Tim Robinson will return when he's ready. Until then, keep those memes alive and stay tuned for updates. The show is streaming now on Netflix.
