It's been a year and a half since we've had any full Broad City episodes. There's the online only Hack Into Broad City segments Comedy Central uploads every so often.

Guest stars include Steve Buscemi, Wanda Sykes, RuPal and more. Wednesday, August 23 cannot get here soon enough.

It looks like Steve Buscemi is guesting on "Broad City"
It's not too often that big time famous people cameo on Broad City but here we are. Steve Buscemi is set to appear on the next season of Broad City. Pointed out via Screen Crush, the actor posed for a picture with stars Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer. There are currently no details as to what exactly he will be doing in season 4. Also Broad City took a breather from airing at the top of the year and should return in August.

Regardless, Comedy Central isn't exactly bereft of shows. The great Detroiters is doign a fine job at buddy comedy. And if you're really itching for some Broad City, check out the Hack Into Broad City web series that updates periodically. Below is the latest one.
'Broad City' is coming back later than sooner
Fans of stoner and feminist comedy who look forward to the top of the year strictly for Broad City are in for a shock: the show is coming back...in the summer. It's sad but true; season 4 is going to take a little while longer to make. This is maybe due in part to the leads' careers as comedy people. Abbi Jacobson is voice acting in the Lego Ninjago Movie and Bojack Horseman as well as doing live action drama for Netflix. Ilana Glazer is starring in the Emoji: Express Yourself movie and a movie from Broad City friend Paul W. Downs. Plus, all these movies are coming in 2017. So, yeah, they have no time for stuff. Broad CIty will return in August BUT -- in the meantime -- check out this video the ladies made.

'Time Traveling Bong' looks exactly like a Broad City production and that's a good thing
And lo, there is a new project from Broad City stars and producers Ilana Glazer and Paul W. Downs. It is dubbed Time Traveling Bong and the title speaks for the story itself. Comedy Central announced it would air this limited series consecutively starting on 4/20. The project seems to come from the original concept CollegeHumor video which also happens to star the same cast. The new Time Traveling Bong has higher production values, of course, and will feature dinosaurs, space, and the past probably. Also, Ilana has a new hairdo.
