Series creator and star Louis C.K. said in a conference call with reporters on Tuesday, “The last three seasons have been this surge of fun and work and stories and it’s been great, but I want the show to keep getting better.” 

He added, “That’s my goal, and I don’t want it to be making the donuts, I want it to be something that comes from somewhere important and stays funny.  It’s a luxury I asked for…season four is my job right now, but I’m going to take a whole lot of time to turn it in.”

Louis C.K. thinks the show will begin shooting in September and he is hoping for a May 2014 premiere. 

“I want season four to go somewhere new, even if it’s only a slight shift,” he explained. 

The show was nominated this year for three Emmy Awards and it won the trophy for comedy writing.
