The producers of Flashpoint have announced the end of their beloved cop series after 75 episodes and five seasons.
Created by Stephanie Morgenstern and Mark Ellis in 2007 for CTV in Canada. CBS came on board as a production partner in 2008 and Flashpoint ran for three seasons as a successful utility player for the network. CBS made a deal to take on some of the episodes from the fourth season and then ION made a deal to take on the rest, as part of a syndication package.
CTV renewed Flashpoint for a fifth season and, in January, ION followed suit. Production began in February and will supposedly wrap in June. We don’t know when they’ll air but we do know that those will be the TV show’s final episodes.
In a message to fans on Facebook, the producers wrote:
To the Flashpoint Family:
Today we announced to our cast and crew that this will be our final season of FLASHPOINT. While still at our creative apex, we’ve decided to conclude the series on a high note. This will allow us to give our fans the satisfaction of a fitting series conclusion with our 75th, and final, episode. Producing FLASHPOINT over the past five seasons has been an exceptional adventure, and we are extremely grateful to all of you for being with us every step of the way. We hope that by announcing this now, you’ll be able to enjoy the fifth season to the utmost, and properly say goodbye to Team 1 along with all of us.
In response to numerous messages to fans, the producers later wrote, “Thanks to all the fans for your support! It wouldn’t have been the same without you. We promise to deliver a memorable final chapter.”
What do you think? Are you going to miss Flashpoint? How would you like to see this TV show end?

Please dont cancel this show i love it too much. i can say its my favourite and a plus because its taken in toronto. PLEASE
This is seriously the best TV show I’ve ever seen and the fact that you are cancelling it tears me apart. PLEASE reconsider. Whatever the complications are, please work through them and bring FLASHPOINT back to its fans.
THIS IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF YOUR CAREERS!!!! I know it’s a done deal but I still can’t believe you QUIT on Flashpoint fans. It’s been almost a year now since the show ended and everyone I know thinks it should of continued for at least another three seasons. It still would of been as you say “on a high note” for years. I feel used as a fan. Let down. From all the awards Flashpoint earned it is obvious it ended way before it should of. People wanted more and still do. I want to say “HOW DARE YOU” but I know it will fall on deaf ears. ALL FLASHPOINT FANS ARE IN MOURNING. You killed a wonderful friend we all admired and couldn’t wait to see week after week. I’m so disgusted with you….way to go…….
Wow, Eileen. I just came across your comment today. I am a producer with the show “Flashpoint”. So sorry to have disappointed you and so many other fans of the show. We miss the show too but there were many reasons to say goodbye when we did. This business is very complicated but we were proud of our final Season and especially our final two episodes, where we really did get the chance to wrap things up and say goodbye in a manner that was respectful to our audience. We are sorry that you feel that you are in mourning. Want you to know that we always appreciated our great fans.
This show is the best ive ever seen I hope yall take out atleast 2 to 3 more seasons WITH THE SAME CARACTERES….PLEASE DONT FINISH IT NOW….
