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?

It suck that this show is not going to be on any more. This is one of my favorite ones. It will be missed
please dont cancel my favorite show
why is it when there is a good show such as Flashpoint with high ratings, it always gets cancelled?
Flashpoint will be sorely missed. The cast had an amazing way of endearing themselves to the fans. Feel like I’m saying goodbye to friends.
We didn’t quit on you, YOU QUIT ON US! What ashame you are making a big mistake. I for one do not care to watch anything else you produce because I wouldn’t want you to “quit” again! I hope you are happy because the fans ARE NOT!!!
So when someone creates a show, they should be prepared to keep it going forever? Do you think I Love Lucy should be in its 62nd season? Will you stay in your job for the rest of your life? Kinda silly. Shows run their course.
please bring back flashpoint my favorite show I enjoy watch cast please Barbara .
Bring back Flashpoint. Make CBS pick up ALL. Best show on TV after Person of Interest. Criminal Minds CLOSE 3RD.
Flashpoint was the most awsome show I’ve ever seen it made me sort of Wunna b a cop but since its been cancelled that career dream might go down the drain. Love the show please reconsider canceling the show ! PLEASE for ur fans !!!!!!
Flashpoint is also one of the best shows ive ever seen on tv.Please reconsider!!!I missed episode 80 where can i see it?
Please dont cancel this show i love it too much. i can say its my favourite and a plus because its taken in toronto. PLEASE
This is seriously the best TV show I’ve ever seen and the fact that you are cancelling it tears me apart. PLEASE reconsider. Whatever the complications are, please work through them and bring FLASHPOINT back to its fans.
THIS IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF YOUR CAREERS!!!! I know it’s a done deal but I still can’t believe you QUIT on Flashpoint fans. It’s been almost a year now since the show ended and everyone I know thinks it should of continued for at least another three seasons. It still would of been as you say “on a high note” for years. I feel used as a fan. Let down. From all the awards Flashpoint earned it is obvious it ended way before it should of. People wanted more and still do. I want to say “HOW DARE YOU”… Read more »
Wow, Eileen. I just came across your comment today. I am a producer with the show “Flashpoint”. So sorry to have disappointed you and so many other fans of the show. We miss the show too but there were many reasons to say goodbye when we did. This business is very complicated but we were proud of our final Season and especially our final two episodes, where we really did get the chance to wrap things up and say goodbye in a manner that was respectful to our audience. We are sorry that you feel that you are in mourning.… Read more »

It won’t be the same waiting for something else, when I know all the time and dates I always look forward too. Please don’t cancel. All of the actors are the best I ever seen and they just can’t leave us. PLE ASE RECONSIDER! ! ! ! ! from one of your best fans of FLASHPOINT
