The end is in sight for Syfy‘s Lost Girl series. The upcoming fifth season will be the show’s last. Star Anna Silk announced the news to fans via Twitter and YouTube.
Silk told EW that, “Honestly, I thought we might get one more, but I knew that this could be the last season… It’s time, in a way. In terms of the story, I think we could have done another. But I’m happy that we’re saying goodbye in a particularly strong season, and I’m pleased that we’re gonna go out with a bang.”
On the positive side, the producers of Lost Girl learned that the series wasn’t being renewed for a sixth season early enough so that they could make a true series finale.
Here’s the video announcement:
There are 16 episodes in season five and the first eight will air in Canada starting December 7th. Syfy has yet to announce an airdate — or to officially announce that they will air the fifth season. It’s almost guaranteed that they will, it’s just a question of when.
Here’s the press release about the series ending from Showcase in Canada:
SHOWCASE ANNOUNCES THE EPIC FINAL SEASON OF LOST GIRL
TORONTO, August 25, 2014 – Today, Showcase revealed that the previously announced fifth season of Lost Girl will wrap up the fan-favourite series. In a message to the show’s loyal “Fae”-natics, Lost Girl star Anna Silk revealed that Showcase supersized the original 13-episode order to 16 final episodes bringing the series to a thrilling conclusion. The season is split into two heart-stopping parts, with the first eight episodes airing Sundays at 9pm ET/PT on Showcase, beginning December 7.
“The massive popularity of Lost Girl is a testament to the inventive and hard-working team at Prodigy Pictures, the magnetic and talented cast and the most devoted and passionate fan base in Canadian television,” said Barbara Williams, Senior Vice President, Content, Shaw Media. “We’re so proud that Showcase has been the home to this landmark series and we look forward to sharing these final 16 episodes with the show’s fans.”
“It’s been an absolute honour playing Bo, and I’m looking forward to seeing where her personal journey leads her this season,” said Lost Girl star Anna Silk.
“Lost Girl has been an incredible ride. We’re so proud to have delivered a show with the groundbreaking message that you can live the life you choose,” said Executive Producer Jay Firestone.
Lost Girl follows supernatural seductress Bo (Silk), a tough yet loveable Succubus who feeds off sexual energy. Since realizing she is part of the Fae, creatures of legend and folklore who live among humans, Bo has resisted choosing an allegiance to either the Dark or Light Fae clans. Instead, she has forged her own path between the human and Fae worlds, while embarking on a mission to unlock the secrets of her origin.
In the blow-out final season, Bo goes to hell and back to try to save the people she loves, triggering an explosive chain of events that play out over the exhilarating final episodes.
Lost Girl was developed by Prodigy Pictures, in association with Shaw Media and Showcase. Executive Producers are Jay Firestone, Vanessa Piazza and Michael Grassi.
Lost Girl is produced with the participation of the Canadian Media Fund created by the Government of Canada and the Canadian cable industry, and with the assistance of the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit and the Ontario Film and Television Tax Credit Program.
What do you think? Do you like the Lost Girl series? Is it time to end the show or should it have been renewed for a sixth season?
My heart is broken! I LOVE lost girl, Im completely shocked that they aren’t going to make more! Bo, kinsy, and all of the other stars made a special place in my heart….no other show/Move touched me so….ive never cried during atv show, and I was balling while the read tricks will, I was so emotional….
Love love love the show I’m sad their not continuing and totally thought Bo and Dysun should have been together again
I enjoyed the show when it was about Bo using her powers to protect all kinds of Fae then it just became about her inner circle and it lost my attention. Too bad it became so much drama and no more ass kicking
Great show please keep it going.
I was pretty sad they kept taking out characters that were so great on the show first kale, then reiner, then kenzie eva trick and then tamsan i think it was a pretty intriguing syfy versoin of a police detective show we did away with the cable aat our house so we had netflix and i have been waiting for a seriously long time for season five and now i find out the show is canceled it was one of my highlights but for some reason all the shows i seem to like are getting canceled i wish it did… Read more »
Very sad to see this show cancelled too soon. I believe the story had a lot of room to grow. The characters are loved and will be greatly missed by many. I’m not sure how a show with the following as big as Lost Girl has and has had can be cancelled. Bad move syfy. Very dissatisfied with the decision.
Ah man, it’s a cool show and enjoyed all of them. Was looking forward to more seasons, but I suppose not. Gonna miss the yummy females actress.
Sorry…a sidless Faye colony ..not wireless lol. Good ol spel corrector.
I think a show that gets ratings like it does, and can clearly keep going, is definitely done no justice when cut short like this. Another season would start a whole new era with Bo and her sister, and a wireless Faye colony. I would think ratings wouldn’t be an issue, I’m surprised it’s been done this way, very disappointing SyFy
My heart is broken! I really wish there were going to be more seasons and episodes. I live in the United States and I have gotten my friends and family addicted to Lost Girl! I absolutely fell completely in love with this show and I’m going to cry when I finish watching it…
I just finshed binge watching it took me a week to finnish all episodes and now this :(((( I neeeeeeeeeeed 1 last season.
