ABBI JACOBSON:Well, that started this season.
You have the episode where Ilana leaves her old job.
ILANA GLAZER:Thats a huge thing.
What do we have in life?
JACOBSON:[Laughs] Thats it.
No family…
GLAZER:Work, sex, and weed.
So season 3, the girls finally experience consequences.
And its about time!
Big-picture, what are Abbi and Ilanas goals?
Where are they headed?
JACOBSON:At their core, they want what everyone wants.
To be successful in something, in some way.
To continue to have relationships with more people, or just more.
GLAZER:Romantic friendships.
I dont know if they know what that means yet.
How many more seasons do you think is ideal to tell their story?
GLAZER:Were still working on that.
Were wavering between two numbers.
JACOBSON:It doesnt feel like it should exist forever.
And the characters are too gross if they dont grow beyond that point of life.
GLAZER:Oh, yeah.
Im already too fing old.
JACOBSON:Were way too old.
GLAZER:Its over.
JACOBSON:We are, but at the same time were not, because cool now is different …
I think cool now is, like, being into stuff.
JACOBSON:So its cool for you to really like old people, you know what I mean?
So I think it’s possible for you to be old and cool.
GLAZER:But its like, How long can you be the hot young thing?
Not long, baby!
Not long the industryhateold.
So whatever, well be, like, staples?
You cant be the hot young thing forever.
Would there ever be aBroad Citymovie?
GLAZER:I dont think itd be Abbi and Ilana.
I thinkBroad Cityis so perfectlyBroad City, you know?
JACOBSON:Itd be different characters.
GLAZER:But, like, barely.
Itd be unnoticeable-amount different.
