The Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein-led comedy Portlandia has been renewed for an eighth and final season, IFC confirmed Saturday.

IFC president Jennifer Caserta announced the news today as part of the network's panel at the Television Critics Association winter press tour. 

"There's still a lot to say with the show but it seems scary to say it's over," creator Jonathan Krisel said, with Armisen nodding to his frequent visits to his old stomping grounds Saturday Night Live: "I think nothing really ends anyway." 

Brownstein acknowledged the bittersweet news, noting that with art, "sometimes it's nice to put parameters around it."

Portlandia's seventh season currently airs Thursdays on IFC.
