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 just binge watched the lost girl it is a great show i was so disappointed to find out that its not being continued, i mean come on we as an audience and fans have no idea how bos love life ended up or what happened to her sister this just sucks. This show needs to make another season to wrap it all up i totally want more of lost girls and im a 42 year old woman and just love this show . I think you should reconsider your decision to end the show and make a season 6.
It is 2022, and I recently ran across Lost girl on the CW seed platform and decided to give it a try. Instantly falling in love with the show and its many characters and the drama, fun, and love they brought to the show. Despite the show last being aired 7-8 years ago, I feel like a season 6 wouldn’t be so bad. I would love to see what’s to come of Dagny as she is growing into adulthood and the gang. Hopefully one day soon the show will come back for a season 6. I am already missing the… Read more »
Plz renew!!!!! Everyone is still young enough to play the amazing parts please renew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More Lost Girl!!!!!!!!
I would love to see more of this series. I think it would be good to see what happens to tamsin’s daughter.
This has got to be the best series that I have seen in years. It has everything all in one. Comedy, drama, action, and science fiction all in one. I sure hope they can bring this back or a series that is as good as Lost Girl
I vote for more Lost Girl. It was left open for another season. Tamson was one of my favorite characters. It is hard to believe she was gone for good. It does not make sense to end a show that way without revisiting it in the near future.
I think there should be a season 6 also wanna see what happens to the new falcory now that she has hades In her and see what happens as she gets older
I think that should be a session 6. And more of this amazing serie full of inspiration to fight back what ever comes in your path.
I wish The show Lost Girl has continued. Oh shoot
We need this to come backkkkk asaaappp!
They should bring bck lost girl so many amazing memories watching that show I miss it they should Extended the show with more seasons it’s a hidden treasure
Please make a season six of LOST GIRL!!! I absolutely love Anna and everyone of the characters for that matter! I love the show it is so cool to sit and watch it with my son it’s really good bonding time for both of us. And I believe the show is really about being confident in yourself and reaching for your goals and dreams& REALLY putting your mind TO SOMETHING and not GIVING UP! And just really believing in yourself and loving the skin that we’re in and that we were born with! I’m really sad to see the show… Read more »
NO, NO, NO, IT NEEDS AT LEAST ONE MORE SEASON SO WE KNOW HOW THING’S GO WITH TAMZAN’S DAUGHTER, DYSON’S SON, KENZIE, & BO!!!!! I MEAN COME ON JUST LEAVE PPL HANGING LIKE THAT IS STRAIGHT UP BS
It failed because Emily andras was running it into the ground and Bo was no longer loveable.
Ughhhh… I am so sad that the show ended with her Finding her Father. I feel there should have been more. The Morgan is still trying to become Fae and has funded a lot into trying to become one again as it show’s and I especially feel there should be lot’s more with losing Trick & Her Mother. I feel that there should be more, especially with losing Tam Tam & Now this New Baby/Teenager who just hit Puberty like Bo did. There needs to be more. Starting off with Needing this Teenager to bring Hale, Trick & Her Mother… Read more »
