Even before its third season premieres, "Inside Amy Schumer" has been renewed for Season 4, Comedy Central announced Tuesday.

Schumer, who created and stars in the irreverent sketch comedy, also shared the news Monday night during an appearance on "Late Show with David Letterman".



It's been a breakout spring for Schumer, who hosted the MTV Movie Awards and was named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People. The show also received a Peabody Award.

Season 3 of "Inside Amy Schumer" premieres Tuesday at 10:30/9:30c on Comedy Central.

The Season 4 premiere is one of the weakest episodes in the series’ history, says Sonia Saraiya. "Schumer seems eager to prove in this first episode that she can be funny in ways that aren’t just about feminism,” she says, "but the result is comedy that doesn’t quite play to her strengths, whether that is the kind of slapstick humor she performs for Miranda or the 'relationships, amirite?' comedy she digs into with a few different segments.” PLUS: The new episodes lack bite and the set-ups feel recycled, meet Schumer’s secret weapon — sister Kim Caramele, and Inside Amy plans to poke fun at Schumer’s massive fame.

One critic says it's becoming harder for Schumer to satirize the A-list lifestyle on Inside Amy Schumer. PLUS: Inside Amy skewers the gun control debate.
