Spoilers. The Containment TV show finale airs tonight on The CW at 9:00pm ET/PT. Containment was cancelled after one season of thirteen episodes, but after the first season and unplanned series finale episode, “Path to Paradise,” was already in the can.
Still, showrunner Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries; The Originals) says viewers will get some closure from the Atlanta-set quarantine drama, starring David Gyasi, Christina Marie Moses, Chris Wood Kristen Gutoskie, Claudia Black, George Young, Hanna Mangan-Lawrence, and Trevor St. John. Containment TV series finale spoilers, after the jump.
WARNING: Containment TV series finale spoilers, below.
Here is more from TV Line:
[“Path to Paradise”] is “the culmination of the conflict between Lex and Lommers,” executive producer Julie Plec previews. “[It’s about] her role in the conspiracy, his feelings about it, and their disparate notions about how far they need to go to protect the people inside the cordon.”
While Lommers is “going to great lengths to prevent anybody from escaping” the quarantined area, “Jana, Suzy, Quentin, Teresa and Xander are very intent on getting out,” the EP continues. “So there’s going to be something that has to give, or people are going to end up killed.”
As “the outside and inside stories collide,” Plec says the final hour will provide as much wrap-up “as a show that wasn’t expecting to end this way can. It, thankfully, has a very emotional ending that brings a lot of the stories to a place where they were going to live for quite some time if the series were to move forward.
“It doesn’t feel like you’re robbed of an experience,” she adds. “It just feels like it would be nice if you could stick around and watch these people live their lives a while longer.” Despite a few untied-up plot threads, there is “good closure, and it should be a fairly satisfying viewing experience.”
What do you think? Did you watch the first season of the Containment TV series? Do you think The CW should have cancelled Containment, or should it have been renewed for a second season?
This was an excellent show! Finally something a show that doesn’t have any thing to do with vampires, mummy’s and the super natural crap.I have watched my share of that type of programming but Containment is fresh and new- i am very disappointed with this decision
Come on people, this show was advertised as a limited series and was only supposed to be one season, so they held up their end of the bargain! It was a very good show but the ending could have been better. Yeah, it would have been nice to see a second season but that was not the intent of the show.
Containment was awesome and should be renewed, it was slow in the beginning and that is what robbed it of viewers, it took too long to warm up, then it just pumped out the good stuff, it was also clean and good family viewing and understandable for older children. Sad to see it go, if a second season were to be ,ade ramp it up from day one and watch the viewer numbers sore with it.
I started binge-watching Containment only to find out it’s been canceled and there won’t be a second season I really liked this show and had high hopes for it. It seems like they cancel shows before it can even start to take off. I feel robbed just like I felt when they canceled Limitless, but I just ran across this show randomly if there was better promotions it would have drew a bigger crowd and maybe it would have had a second season that’s the networks fault why punish the viewers. Maybe Netflix or Hulu will pick it up?
It was put on Netflix, which is how I came across it. But by then, it had already been cancelled.
Great show my family will miss it.
Drew me in and had to stay. It would have been nice to see the doctor in front of a congressional answering the question, ” What do you think you were doing? ” It makes you wonder about the Zika.”
Containment is a good show renew it
Containment needs to be renewed
No i really loved this show and want to find out what happens cant end it this way
It’s another unfortunate cancellation. This turned out to be a very good series with excellent talent. This is a much better formula than what we’ve been offered lately for apocalyptic epics. This show, Containment, is truly scary because it depicts a scenario that could be taken from real life. Even then, it’s a real life that many of us would not object to because you’d be surrounded by so many caring, loving, and truly noble citizens (well, if you don’t count the really evil characters!). Unfortunately, we’ve now lost some really wonderful characters, but I’d still be happy to see… Read more »
I think that containment is one of the better shows on right now and have been very into it since the very frist show. It’s very disapointing that there is not a second season I highy hope that there will be a continuance. I look foward to this show every week.
I was actually looking forward to a second season of containment. So disappointed. Thanks a lot CW, for finally having a show that doesn’t suck and cancelling after the first friggin’ season.
I’m very disappointed this show was cancelled. Poor form CW
Omg I’m just tuning in just to find out it’s being canceled!!!! Dx why is it periodically the cw will come out with an amazing show just for me to get interested and then they cancel. Cw you’re failing!! The last time I got into a cw series was back in high-school with the Gilmore girls and charmed. Smdh GET IT TOGETHER CW
