Louies back!!! After a 19-month hiatus, televisions most-critically acclaimed comedy series Louie will make its season four debut on Monday, May 5 at 10:00 PM E/P, and FX will air two all new episodes of the Emmy® Award winning show back-to-back every Monday at 10:00 and 10:30 PM E/P for seven consecutive weeks through June 16.
Created by Louis C.K., Louie is a comedy revolving around Louie, a semi-fictional version of Louis C.K. played by C.K. The show is filtered through the observational humor of Louie. Each episode puts a spotlight on Louies hectic life as a stand-up comedian and single father who shares custody of his two daughters, Lilly (Hadley Delaney) and Jane (Ursula Parker). The single-camera comedy is a mix of Louies stand-up comedy and scripted films. The series deals with everyday life issues including work, parenting and relationships, and has touched on topics ranging from religion to politics to social behavior. While many of the episodes are stand alone, the series has also included many serialized episodes, which will hold true in season four.
Louis C.K. is the Creator, Executive Producer, Showrunner, Star, Director and Editor, and he also is involved in music for the show. In addition, he enjoys an unprecedented level of creative freedom. A testament to the quality of the series is the demand by actors to play guest starring roles F. Murray Abraham, Bobby Cannavale, Ricky Gervais, Jay Leno, Melissa Leo, David Lynch, Garry Marshall, Parker Posey, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Sarah Silverman and many others. Louie also has a fantastic roster of recurring players including Pamela Adlon, Todd Barry, Rick Crom, Nick DiPaolo, Edward Gelbinovich, Bobby Kelly, Jim Norton, William Stevenson and Susan Kelechi Watson.
In 2012, Louie made history by becoming the first comedy series on a basic cable network to receive an Emmy Award nomination in the category of Outstanding Comedy Series. The show has won two Emmy Awards Louis C.K. for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series (2012), and Melissa Leo for Outstanding Guest Actress in Comedy Series (2013). The series has also won AFI (2012 and 2013), Peabody (2013), and Television Critics Association (2013) awards. It was nominated for a WGA Award in 2012, and it won the WGA Award in 2013 (Louis C.K., Pamela Adlon and Vernon Chatman). It was also nominated for a PGA Award in 2013.
For his work on Louie, Louis C.K. has received Emmy Award nominations for writing (he won in 2011) and acting in each of the shows first three seasons, and also twice for directing. C.K. received Golden Globe® and SAG Award nominations for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, and DGA Award nomination for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Comedy Series. He became the first and only actor from a basic cable series to win the Television Critics Association Award for Individual Achievement in Comedy.

Louie is shot in New York City, using all five boroughs for locations. The show has also been shot on location in Boston, California, Miami, Texas, and China.
The season will mostly be multi-part episodes, via C.K.'s mailing list:
I just wanted to let you know that my series on FX, LOUIE, returns for it's fourth season tonight at 10pm [9c]. Tonight being Monday, May 5th. There will be 2 episodes tonight, 10 and 10:30 [9:30c] and there will be 2 episodes every Monday for the next 7 weeks.
I took a year off between last season and this one, mostly so I could have more time to do the show, to make it better. This season is very different from past seasons. The first three episodes are pretty typical of what we've done in the past, Self-contained stories. But the next 6 episodes after that are all connected in one story. Then we have a three part story and a two part story. So lots of parts stories. Yeah.
