At today’s FX presentation at the TCA winter press tour, FX head John Landgraf said that Justified would be ending with season six. He noted that the decision came from series creator/executive producer Graham Yost and star Timothy Olyphant.
Landgraf said, “They felt that the arc of the show and what they had to say would be best served by six years, six seasons instead of seven. So regretfully I accepted their decision.”
Season five of Justified began airing last Tuesday and the premiere was down by 21% year-to-year. It drew 2.84 million viewers versus season four’s 3.59 million.
For the record, FX had not officially announced that Justified would be coming back for a sixth year.
What do you think? Do you like this series? Do you think the time is right to end it?
It’s a great show and, I believe it’s far from it’s time to end!!! This show is great… It’s a diamond in the rough and, has much more potential in the future!!! It has a lot of shows to compete with, however, the history, characters, storyline, and pure grit is what will take this show further than the network realizes!!! RENEW THIS SHOW FOR AT LEAST 2 MORE SEASONS YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!! Also, if you haven’t realized there are lots of true fans out there and, there will be much disappointment!!!!
Awesome; Awesome show. !!!!! Just can’t get cancelled. Extremely well written for each character. Love Timothy aka Raylen Givens !!!!
I’ve watched it from the beginning and would love to have it end the right way…Please let it end with the 6th season..
I’ve watched it from the beginning and would love to see it end the proper way..I believe Raylan, his wife, and baby should have a good ending..Boyd should be able to have a life too..Raylan and his boss should become good friends again and be on good terms.
I rarely watch FX I came across the show 6 years ago in season 1 and watched since. I do not know much about FX so I will not be watching it again soon. NO reason to.
yet another 1 of my favs being cancelled. I really liked timothy olyphant’s character. unfortunately I only saw the last 2 seasons so I feel a bit cheated.
I have watched Justified since the beginning and I think it should have the chance to summarize the story and all the main characters final positions, if season six can do that then let it be renewed. I will be very disappointed if its not renewed.
It’s one of my favorite shows,so I hate to see it end. But if its creators feel the time has come for creative reasons, then it’s hard to argue with them, since we have so enjoyed and relied on their creativity for the last four or five years.
FX Blew another one. Rarely watch FX as it has only a few worthwhile shows and this was one of the best
Best show on TV along with Longmire, person of interest and Hell on Wheels. It would be a shame to take it off.
FX should take it all the way through the seventh season. It is the only show I watch on FX. It is the best show on TV.
We love Justified. It’s rare to see a show the whole family can watch. It’s fairly clean and keeps you interested in what’s going on. It should not be canceled.
Justified, and Sons of Anarchy! Is FX shutting down? You might as well.
NO! It can not end! Justified is the best show on the air!
Don’t cancel it!!!
Heck no I don’t agree !! It’s my favorite show. It NEVER gsils, as soon as I find a show that keeps me coming bsck and wanting more, they cancel the dang thing. This SUCKS !!!
