'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' 4B: Carol Kane reveals why happy endings don't always need to involve someone else

With Ellie Kemper playing the titular role, 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' has been able to address issues like sexual abuse, abduction, and PTSD, all with a humorous twist.

Spoilers for ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ season 4B ahead.

The TV show equivalent of sunshine and rainbows, Netflix’s ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ has come to an end with the second half of season 4B, which premiered on January 25. With the ever-pleasant Ellie Kemper playing the titular role of Kimmy, the show has addressed many important and severe issues – from sexual abuse to abduction to PTSD - with a humorous twist.

Over the course of four seasons, we fell in love with four people – Titus (Tituss Burgess), Lillian (Carol Kane), Jacqueline (Jane Krakowski) and Kimmy Schmidt (Kemper) – with four distinct personalities, who overcame their individual struggles and became a family in the process. None of them have a family in the traditional sense of the word, and they leaned on each other to fill that hole.

As Kane tells MEAWW, “They're good people, and they don't a have traditional family. None of them have fit into the traditional mold of what a family is, but they have become a family and that is as legitimate and as important. You don't have to be born with the same blood to be family.”
