“won’t be returning” next year, the popular comedian announced on Sunday, though perhaps he tweet-ethed in haste.
Shaun Micallef says the ABC is in talks to “evolve” Mad As Hell after the current season, which starts on July 20.host, Micallef hinted at it, saying he “just felt it was time for someone younger to take advantage of the resources and opportunities on offer.

Sometimes I make shows for other stations, that’s all. The ABC is cool with this.
