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?

I absoultely love this show. I wish that they would not end the show. I am not Canadian, but have really enjoyed and agree that it is one of the best shows on tv.
It’s the best police show on TV. I loved seeing Toronto and the acting was awesome.
Can’t CTV keep it going just for us Canadians? Please?
what a great show.. great characters, great plot line…with down to earth great people… why not cancel the garbage that we see on TV and keep this one going…
I agree with everything said.All the junk on tv and they alway
s get rid of the best.Flashpoint one of the best on tv Please keep it going
Please do not cancel this show one of the best on tv.and wheres wordy.he is so cute
Great show can’t wait to see the last episode ever should be a cool show hey when is it It is the best show I loved it just an awesome show
One of the best Canadian shows produced, loved Toronto scenes, that shows did not follow goary U.S. police sripts. Fans are being ignored in these decisions and endless re runs of other programmes. Who is ignoring subsribers and strangeling T.V. viewing ?.
Why is it reality tv is taking over all the great shows. Let the fans decide when it’s enough. It certainly was the best. Very disappointed in the producers. Won’t watch any show they do again. Sad day.
I know it is probably too late, but if it is possible PLEASE reconsider ending this superbly superior show. Love the cast, the stories are gripping and well written. Kudos to cast and crew- will miss you!
Not fair, too good of a series, why we,viewers, get punished? What you are going to show now?. Get a break, think it over and comeback.
very sad FLASHPOINT one of the best shows ever seems every every show i like gets canned cast of show rocks!!!!
I agree that all of the few good shows on television are being cancelled and replaced with such mind-numbing and useless shows like – REALITY shows! Does everyone in the televsion industry think we all want to be subjected to this nonsense? NO! Please bring back Flashpoint – why they are cancelling a show that is so popular is beyond me.
So tired of the good shows worth watching – getting cancelled or not continuing on.
I love flashpoint too much I can’t let it go I wish the crew would stay together
I WILL MISS THE CREW ON FLASH POINT. WILL THEY EVER ACT TOGETHER
AGAIN IN A SIMILAR ROLE THEY ARE TRULY A FAMILY. I LOOKED FORWARD TO WATCHING THEM EVERY WEEK, HOPEFULLY I WILL SEE THEM TOGETHER
AGAIN. BYE GREAT TEAM WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.
