\"Jordan<\/p>\n

After the brilliant Comedy Central sketch series<\/a> Key and Peele<\/em> went off the air in 2015, the show\u2019s two leads embarked on different career paths. Keegan-Michael Key<\/strong> shifted his focus almost entirely to acting, while Jordan Peele<\/strong> quickly became one of Hollywood\u2019s go-to horror directors thanks to Get Out<\/em> and Us<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Here are the latest updates about this formerly dynamic duo: Peele recently confirmed that he has retired from acting on camera, and Key has secured the lead role in August Snow<\/strong><\/em>, an ABC drama based on a series of popular crime novels.
<\/span><\/p>\n

Jordan Peele has retired from acting \u2013 well, at least in front of the camera. \u201cI like watching my movies,\u201d he explained to his Get Out<\/em> star Bradley Whitford during a recent fundraising event (via THR<\/a>). \u201cI can watch the films I direct [but] watching me perform just feels like, it\u2019s a bad kind of masturbatory. It\u2019s masturbation you don\u2019t enjoy. I feel like I got to do so much and it is a great feeling. When I think about those great moments when you\u2019re basking in something you said that feels funny. When I think about all that, I think I got enough.\u201d
\nI wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Peele continued to do voiceover work (like he did for Toy Story 4<\/em>, or does for Big Mouth<\/em>) or maybe even serve as an occasional figurehead like he did on The Twilight Zone<\/em> reboot. But it sounds like he\u2019s done acting on screen for now, which, as anyone who has seen Key & Peele<\/em> can attest, is a loss for anyone who enjoys great comedic performances.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Key is still going strong in front of the camera. Deadline reports that Key will executive produce and star in August Snow, a drama from Godfather of Harlem<\/em>\u2018s Paul Eckstein<\/strong> that is based on Stephen Mack Jones\u2019 novels. Here\u2019s how they describe the plot:<\/p>\n

August Snow (Key) is a biracial former detective who grew up in Detroit\u2019s Mexicantown. After a distinguished military career, he joined the force like his father, only to be drummed out by a conspiracy led by corrupt cops and politicians. August hit back, winning an $18 million wrongful dismissal lawsuit, then packed his bags to travel<\/a> the world. The series will open with August returning home to the city he has deep affection for in search of himself and reconnecting with his roots while also facing enemies on both sides of the law. August becomes a private investigator, a Robin Hood from the hood, gathering a group of unexpectedly talented misfits to help him solve cases, invests his money to help reinvigorate his city in despair, and save himself along the way.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Key is biracial and from Michigan, so this should have special resonance for him.<\/p>\n
