TNT renewed Falling Skies for a fifth season of 10 episodes but that will be the end of the sci-fi series. TNT president Michael Wright said in a statement, “Falling Skies has begun an ambitious and thrilling story arc this summer as it sets the stage for next year’s climactic final season.”
On Falling Skies, the human resistance struggles for survival in the wake of a catastrophic alien invasion. The cast includes Noah Wyle, Moon Bloodgood, Will Patton, Drew Roy, Colin Cunningham, Connor Jessup, Maxim Knight, Sarah Sanguin Carter, Mpho Koaho, and Seychelle Gabriel.
While the series is still performing well for TNT, the (current) fourth season is down by 14% in viewership when compared to season three. The audience for Falling Skies has been declining since the first season when it averaged 4.7 million viewers each week.
The Last Ship and Major Crimes have also been renewed for next summer.
What do you think? Are you glad that Falling Skies will be back next summer? Do you agree with the decision to end it?
Every time you get something good To watch you have to end it.know wonder one of the best stars left NCIS.Its the old reason money
I enjoyed the first couple of seasons of this show but it hasn’t really gone anywhere. The human hybrid story is weak and far fetched. This story is the apocalyptic Waltons. I will finish watching next year but glad it will be over.
Sad to hear it’s ending, but honestly, the show hasn’t quite lived up to expectation. This season has been better, but hope it will go out with a “bang.” 🙂
I cancelled the show on my watch list this year so whether it continues one more year or ten years doesn’t matter to me. This season didn’t rate with earlier seasons and I no longer care about watching these fighters.
Excellent show. Should have showed inside of fisheads ships often and tortured several of them to death. Then steal their ship and attack their towers and other ships.etc. Then reverse the skitters to original bodies an use them for soldiers and their knowledge to attack espheni home planet with nukes. Lexi better use her powers against the invaders. Finally put aliens in zoo with bears.
I’m sad that this has to end… I’d have preferred it to run for ten years, just so we could watch the kids grow up and struggle against their oppressors, too, but at least they’ve renewed it for one more season to tie everything up. This is why it’s better to work in cable, rather than broadcast… most of the time, broadcast doesn’t care enough to give their shows a chance to craft the ending they want.
Terrible! I can’t believe Falling Skies will be ending after next season. 🙁
It’s always the good TV shows ending too soon and crap like Teen Mom, Geordie Shore ect ect going on and on, sick of this Bulls**t trend with TV shows
I think the show is doing fine and the viewers rating is still up there so why cancel the show. A least your not doing like CBS and just drop it that is the only thing I can be thankful for.
I agree every time I find something I really love the end it. I realize the advertisers are worried no need to have a good product it’ll sell
Great canceled another show I like.Sick of T.V. Always putting something good on but then flushing them away…What’s going in its place a singing show, A cooking show, how about a talk show no better yet another cop crap….just sick of this….
Time to wrap this up. Show had good potential. Never got there.
I love this show and want it to go out strong just like it started. So far this season has been hohum. Usually I can’t wait for the next episoide hopefully it is going to build to some great stuff now that they have an end date
that’s to bad. i hope they give us a difinative end and don’t leave us hanging. TNT like USA don’t let their shows get long in the tooth.
I rather have them end it before the ratings and the story fall flat. It is an amazing show i want it to go out on a high note
