Amy Schumer is back! Inside Amy Schumer season 5 brings back the actress/comedian's sketch comedy series, which originally ran on Comedy Central and has a new home on Paramount Plus.

Inside Amy Schumer has been canceled on hiatus for six years. In 2016, the award-winning show was renewed for a fifth season but Schumer announced it was going on a break so she could focus on touring. She also got married and had a difficult birth in the intervening years.

This season’s sketches include “Colorado,” “Home Spanx,” “Gratitude,” “Fart Park,” “Second Amendment,” “The Last Noelle” and “Flatuda,” among others.

She is also welcoming a bunch of guests, including Amber Tamblyn, Bridget Everett, Cara Delevinge, Chris Parnell, Ellie Kemper, Jesse Williams, Laura Benanti, Michael Ian Black, Olivia Munn and Tim Meadows.
