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?

This is a great show. Do not stop filming this. Please bring this back and do not change the cast of team one!!!!
Don’t understand why out of all shows this show has ended. I really love the team an how each actor really fit their role. Please bring the show back. And please don’t change the team for any substitutes. Figure something out. Until then I’m watching reruns till ya do.. Thank you!
Hello my name is Milagros Vasquez and i am one of the biggest fan of flash-point and i really love this show and I wish there was another episode. I am a biggest fan of David Paetkau aka Sam Braddock and also the entire team and i would really like to meet the entire team 1 from flash-point i watch the episodes over and over and i don’t get tired.
I think there should be a six season. theres so much that is left that the can make another or more seasons from. I wanna know what happens to the rest like ed and how he would lead team one and what wil happen to everyone one.
Good action series,plus good real life storys bring back!!!!!!!!
I never understood why a TV station would cancel good series just to add additional stupid comedies. I am so proud of ION for taking on all the good series you dumb regular stations seem to cancel. Maybe ION will continue to rise in popularity. You know not all individuals watch TV for reality, comedy, or lecture shows which seem to dominate the airways for the last several years. I guess that is what happens when you become greedy as always. ION please continue to run Flashpoint, Cold Case, Blue Bloods, which you recently picked up, I am guessing that… Read more »
why stop the show. sam is leading team3 and i want to see how he gets alog like wtf. what about there baby???????
Action adventure, I love it and please consider adding a sixth season please it is a great TV show I love itand it’s outstanding please make season 6 season it is very hard to see flashpoint go please make a new 6th season thank you so much why no more 6 season please
I cannot believe FLASHPOINT is canceled when it is THE BEST show ever! Now, besides Criminal Minds, all that’s left are dumb shows. How can ION just let FLASHPOINT go as without them, the ratings will plummet. It is the biggest mistake not to have renewed the show. Now I just have to buy the DVDs because other than Criminal Minds, there is no reason to watch ION at all. I am so disappointed.
I watched all five seasons in one month and this is the best show I’ve ever seen!! Please do another closing season!!!
I don’t think that FLASHPOINT season 6 should be cancelled because I learned a lot from it, and that makes me want to be a Police Officer some day even stronger, the location is the best and I loved it, it is located in my hometown: Toronto Canada
I am extreamly sad to see them go. Kinda wish ion would keep em on the air as ik they should. Espicaly since they just upgraded ed to srgt lane they really should do a 6 still with team 1.
We will definitely miss Flashpoint! There has not been one episode that we have missed.
It is so well done, the actors are fantastic & it doesn’t hurt that it is filmed in Toronto either. We are so very disappointed that you have seen fit to cancel such a great show!
Flashpoint don’t go, I love this series’s and I’m so happy that Jules and Sam finally tied the knot but Parker is gone. I just don’t want it to end, one more season. Flashpoint come back!!
It is a huge mistake to cancel this show. It brings in fans from all age groups. I think this show could make a lot more, who wants to end a great series at its high peak on just 75 episodes. I usually don’t care to comment or take the time to but I loved this show so much. It reminds me to stay grounded as I seek my law degree. “Connect, protect, respect” flashpoint and bring it back.
