The FX series Louie (2010–15), created by and starring American comedian Louis C.K., went an a hiatus in 2015. At the time, C.K. wanted to focus on other projects but left open the possibility that he would return to make more episodes of the show. However, in November 2017, amid the broader Me Too movement, The New York Times published an article in which a number of women accused C.K. of sexual misconduct. He subsequently stated that their stories were true, and he expressed remorse for his actions. FX ended its association with C.K., and no other episodes of Louie were ever produced.
