Disney has finally made it official – Jessie will end after its current fourth season, with the Season 4 finale serving as a series ender, marking 101 episodes of the teen comedy series.
However, to sweeten the deal, Disney has ordered a currently untitled Jessie spin-off which will continue “the humorous antics of Emma, Ravi and Zuri.”
The Jessie spinoff goes into production in spring 2015. Official press release follows:

Disney Channel has ordered a spin-off series of the hit comedy “Jessie,” which has consistently ranked among the Top TV series across Kids 2-11, Kids 6-11 and Tweens over its four seasons.
