Ellie Kemper, Amy Sedaris tease ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ movie

“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” may have come to an end, but it might not be goodbye forever.

Though showrunners Tina Fey and Robert Carlock have teased a “Kimmy Schmidt” movie—both have said they’re hoping to do it—nothing’s been confirmed. On Sunday night at the Writers Guild Awards, however, stars Ellie Kemper and Amy Sedaris said they’re also hoping to turn the Netflix series into a feature film.

“I didn’t say goodbye because I thought there was a rumor that there might be a movie, so I was kind of hopeful about it,” Sedaris told Page Six. “I didn’t really say goodbye to [my character] Mimi [Kanasis]. She’ll be back.”

The “At Home With Amy Sedaris” star, 57, added, “I hope.”

Kemper, 38, who plays the titular character, also said she’s excited at the prospect of a full-length movie.

“It’s sad. It feels bittersweet,” Kempter told us. “I’m hoping there might be a movie. There are rumors about it. I don’t even know if there is one, but I hope so.”

When told of our conversation with Sedaris, Kemper joked, “I’m on the same page with Amy Sedaris about anything.”

Throughout the seasons, “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” also featured close-ups of mock Page Six headlines. One read, “G.E. Fog Machines Recalled for Causing Gay Explosion.”

“They were so brilliant,” Kemper said of the New York Post in-show features. “[The writers], they don’t mess around. They’re so pitch perfect.

Every joke is so precise,” she added. “It’s absolutely written by New Yorkers.”
