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?
I really think there should have been a season 6 to this show it really shows how family should stick together and Be there for one another it also inspires a lot of good things and I’m hoping That enough people come together so they can see they need to continue lost girls with a season 6 very good show would recommend it to anyone to watch
Lost girl should be renewed for a season 6
There is so much good and evil in the world we live in and the current times are in so many ways, a wonder to the future of our world. The biblical signs of the second coming are showing up every where you look.
This show, Lost Girl, could differently keep going for a few more sessions. Taking from the real life day to day and putting it to drama, I think, would even help open eyes to people seeing their paths and standing for what they believe
I honestly don’t think the show should end yet there should another season all about tam daughter it would be so good
I loved the show and wish there was more. Atleast comeback with a spin off based on Bo’s baby sister.
So sad loved the show y not spinoff with baby?
Definitely should have gone on for another season. Sadly miss and feeling a little robbed.
I absolutely love this show i have to say though i am completely disappointed that lost girl was canceled. I believe that this is a series that should have been continued. Lost girl is inspiring but also about family sticking together no matter what. I am hoping one day lost girl will be continued.
I watched it all on Netflix, could at my own pace. I had to pause and come back for 20 minutes or 30. I just watched the last series in the season. I had to come find this spot, to Express my opinion. I want to see one more. I couldn’t believe that was it. Just like the 2 hr show that was on Netflix before. Sense 8, great series. I truly miss that last 2 hr show. To see where they all went, cause it was cancelled. And never to see it. Just.. wished I had. But it doesn’t… Read more »
Season 4 doomed this show
Great series Lost girl very injoyable to watch great actors im in England uk.
Please please make more dont let season.5 be the last .
I hope you guys side to come out with more shows I love it
Bring back lost girl!!!!
Why is it always the best shows that get cancelled? Lost Girl is the only show since Buffy that I have watched all of. The show was so original and intelligent with the issues it dealt with, in its unique way. Please reconsider, bring back a one of a kind show with a great cast that you really care about.
This is one of the best or should I say great ones. I can’t believe it ends like this. Netflix you have dropped the ball on this one. It makes me want to go to hulu. Im missing Bo and the crew. Please bring back this show.
Netflix didn’t make the show syfy did.
I am from Australia and even though I found the Lost Girl series late, I have loved every second of it and am very sad that it has come to an end. Thank you everyone who starred in the show and everyone else who made this show possible. I love you all and will miss you heaps 🙂
I think the producers or the network should’ve renewed the series bc it’s leaving people that was a very good study tv series and I think and I know it was one of the best shows I really enjoyed watching and really got into
