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?
Here I am watching this series on Netflix for the very first time after we discovered it. It is actually one of the first well written and acted TV shows I’ve seen in a very long time. While I have not seen the entire series yet, I can honestly say this show deserved another season at least.
The show shouldn’t have been cancelled! It was great & i think there should be at least another season to give us a more definite ending to everyone’s story & if they actually found a cure or not. I think they should definitely make another season!!
It absolutely feels like I’ve been robbed of an experience! CW made a terrible mistake but I hope Netflix makes it all better. Bring it back Netflix!
Omg please bring it back and I hate that kaitie was killed grrrr I miss this show!!
BRING IT BACK PLEASE! It can’t end without an ending. And who calls what we got an ending? Who takes over for the CDC? Do any of the people inside ever get out? The preacher, the reporter, the kid, the cop that made it out?Come on, we would like to know. Even bombing the place would have been better then leaving so many questions. I couldn’t see any kind of closure at all. I hope they at least do what Firefly did and make a movie or something.
I can’t believe this show has been cancelled. I have been binge watching it this weekend on Netflix and am soooooo disappointed that there won’t be another season.
Wished that they would have continued this series. Was one of the few shows out there that made me feel emotional and care about the characters in the show. And for once, it wasn’t Anime. A live action show that made me cry. That is really special and hard to come by. Take note of that.
Cannot believe the amout of rubbish that come out of america that continues series after series and a show that is this brilliant has been cancelled. This could have been the next lost, walking dead, 24, [insert amazing tv series name here] This could have been amazing. The producers are fools.
Great show!! Can’t believe it was canceled!!
Bring it BACK!!
Please bring this back and give us an ending. We deserve it!!!
Containment is a fantastic show! I am really upset to read it’s been cancelled!
I was looking forward to seeing Lex in the cordon with Jana and Jake. Jake to find a new love interest and so much more!
Myself, fiancee and friends will miss this!
Containment is Honestly the best show I have ever seen, I actually had real interest in this show, what a shame that it was cancelled, this show is actually a reasonable show, showing what can actually happen without notice, this show should be brought back for more, this is different from all other shows , it’s a shame it has been discontinued
This show can’t end in a such way. I was so much drawn into it, as it was different and up to today’s reality. Please bring it back!
I cannot believe it was cancelled! This is by far one of the best shows I have ever watched. Why would you do this to us?? BRING IT BACK!
So sorry this show has been cancelled, I too like a lot of other people was really getting into it, shame on you!!
