At FX’s TCA day, CEO John Landgraf said it was possible there would be more seasons of "Louie". Its creator Louis C.K. has been “very active in his overall deal with us. He has four series from Baskets and Better Things, to One Mississippi for Amazon,” Landgraf said.

“You saw what he did with Horace and Pete. He has other things he has not announced yet he is working on.”

Landgraf also acknowledged Louis C.K.’s direction may have changed with a potential new season of "Louie".

“I think he has changed a lot since he made the last season of Louie,” he said. “If it ever comes back, it will be a really different show because he’s a different guy. I’ve got my fingers crossed. I still talk to him weekly, maybe multiple times a week, because we have so much business.”

"Louie" will be a "Very Different Series" if it Returns for Season 6, Says Louis C.K.

Louis C.K. has no idea if we ever will see another season of his semi-autobiographical FX series "Louie", but if it returns it will be a different show.

“I don’t think I will do that exact version,” he said, explaining, “I don’t think I’m that guy…stained black T-shirt with kids. They’re older now.”

“I don’t think about it much.”

"Louie" debuted in 2010, with C.K. writing, directing, editing, producing and starring as a divorced comedian raising two daughters. In August of ’15, FX said the series was taking an extended hiatus, to return when he was good and ready.

“When you make the first season, you’re figuring out what the show is, what’s good and bad and what’s true,” C.K. told TV critics Thursday morning at TCA. “The second season you make that show. You perfect it over certain number seasons, then you just keep doing it for a while, and then you sputter out, or whatever happens.”

He said he loves making television, noting his work on other series.

“I’m happy to be doing that, and my standup, and my other dumb things. I might circle back to it later – a different version. I have no idea if that will happen.”
