season 4 is the final season ?


this will end together with the vampire diaries ?

reply

I don't know. The show was cancelled in the UK and is shown on Amazon Prime only. It means nothing as they cancelled Once Upon A Time after 2 seasons.

Don't think the show had enough publicity over here unfortunately I absolutely love this show 100% more than TVD

Even if the 4th season is the last, the show had a good run. 80 episodes is more than many shows get. A show like GoT will have to go 8 seasons (which they will) to get 80 episodes. But the executives sound hopeful for a 5th TO season.

Honestly and I know some will disagree with me, I think all shows should end after 4 or 5 seasons since after that most of them start phoning it in since they can't think of anything and I personally get bored after that anyway.

Farscape is one of only a few shows I love more than this, all science fiction- and it was four seasons and the miniseries but I never felt cheated. The story was complete, had amazing pacing. A lot of shows end up having off-seasons, despite staying a great show altogether when they run for more than five seasons.

When I think about the last three seasons, and the same dedication to a fourth season with a conclusive last episode, it doesn't make me sad to think of The Originals having four seasons. It makes me think of all the long running shows I have on DVD and the seasons of which I rarely watch more than a few episodes whereas Farscape, I struggle just watching single episodes because I have to keep going.

I agree with you, as long as a show concludes its arcs, four or five seasons is perfect.

Normally they announce a last season. So my guess we'll get a fifth season. 92 episodes are better so sell internationally.
It might also depend on how successful CW's new vampire show Lost Boys will be.

It can get a final short season like HOD. Unlike Reign/BATB, this a WB show & is filmed in LA so it'll depend on the ratings & CW's slot for new shows next season. Some shows are still needed to get dragged to 4 seasons like iZombie & Jane to satisfy Netflix deal so those shows will take priority over TO for a slot.

It's filmed in ATL

reply

Whoops my bad. Still my comment still stands. Genre shows not filmed in Canada are more expensive. Once both TO & TVD ends, all genre shows will all be filmed in Canada.

reply

Well it's ages away til the new season airs, they could announce it as the final season when it gets closer to airing. Since TVD is ending and this not having great ratings I assume season 4 will be it's last.

reply

this will be the last or it will have one more. depends on the ratings though. the show Grimm was cut to 10 episodes and the upcoming season will be the last. it's usually not a good sign when a show cuts episodes. so this will be the last (don't be surprised if the last episode of this season has a series finale feel to it) or they will have one more season. i seriously doubt this show has two more seasons after this season.

I think Grimm's Season 6 will consist of 13 episodes.

We have no idea it could be or it could get renewed we won't know until 2017 its rating are pretty low even lower then TVD and that show is going into its 8th year. I hope we get to like 7 seasons with the standard 22 episode count for season 5-7.

reply

So many of my favorite shows are 10-13 episodes. Can't wait until they start and too soon they end. Lucifer, Game of Thrones, Ray Donovan, Power, Empire, even on CW iZombie and the 100, heck Peaky Blinders is only 6 episodes and Endeavor less than that.

reply

My empathetic nod goes here. Episode count does not make the show. Orphan Black is one of my favourites (obligatory celebrations for Tatiana and her Emmy here) and it's been ten episodes a piece but whole and it never feels like anything is cut. The only time it's a bad thing is when shows have their episode orders cut midseason and they suddenly have to cram things in and change directions.
