The Bachmanity Insanity is officially over.

Silicon Valley is saying Avia-dios (get it, like Aviato and adios? Oh, never mind!) to star T.J. Miller for the show's upcoming fifth season, Mashable has confirmed.

HBO renewed the Emmy-winning comedy -- along with Veep -- for a new season on Thursday, shortly before news broke that Miller would not be returning after the conclusion of Season 4.

"The producers of Silicon Valley and T.J. Miller have mutually agreed that T.J. will not return for Season 5. In Erlich Bachman, T.J. has brought to life an unforgettable character, and while his presence on the show will be missed, we appreciate his contribution and look forward to future collaborations," HBO said in a statement.

Miller has no shortage of other work -- on the big screen, he's lending his voice to the lead character in the upcoming animated family flick The Emoji Movie, and will also appear in Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One. He's also expected to reprise his role as Weasel in Deadpool 2.

But who will tell the gang that they look like ferrets who gave up on themselves now?

Silicon Valley concludes its ten-episode fourth season Sunday, June 25 at 10 p.m.
