Outside work taken on by the stars of Kenny vs. Spenny will not bring down the curtain on the series, says producer Ira Levy, putting down speculation that the fifth season of the show, currently being shot in Toronto, would be its last.

Paraphrasing Mark Twain, the co-owner of Breakthrough Films and Television said, ‘Rumors of Kenny vs. Spenny‘s demise are greatly exaggerated.’

Rumors have circulated on set that stars Kenny Hotz and Spencer Rice may part ways following the taping of this season’s 10 episodes to pursue other projects.

This October, Showcase and FX in the U.S. will start airing Testees, a 13-ep comedy series produced by Hotz and based on the experiences of product testers.

As for Rice, he wrote and starred in the indie comedy film Confessions of a Porn Addict, which is slated for release this fall. In the movie, which is also produced by Breakthrough, Rice plays the subject of a mockumentary that chronicles a man’s attempts to prove he has overcome his addiction to smut after he is arrested for being caught pleasuring himself in a video store.

But the public should not view either solo accomplishments as a signal the two are moving on, Levy stresses, adding there is talk of making a feature film based on the television show, in which the pair try to outdo each other in unique and sometimes obscene challenges.

‘The thing about them doing these other projects is it just continues to feed — reinforces — the Kenny vs. Spenny brand,’ he says. ‘These guys are funny. They have lots of different, great projects they want to do. But the core project is Kenny vs. Spenny.’

Last year, Comedy Central picked up the show, which adds the names of South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker to the list of co-producers, which also includes Blueprint Entertainment. Showcase is the domestic broadcaster.

Levy said a recent deal was inked to air a format of the show in Poland, which joins countries including Germany, Turkey and Columbia that air the Kenny vs. Spenny style of humor.

‘The brand keeps growing and the show keeps going,’ he says. ‘For our point of view, if there’s a demand and an audience, broadcasters will continue to order it.’
