Here is more, from The Hollywood Reporter
The current fourth season of the Starz basketball comedy will be its last, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The season finale on Sunday will now serve as a series finale.
“We have been fortunate to work with incredible talents like Mike O’Malley, the executive producers and our cast on this very special show for four seasons,” Starz president and CEO Chris Albrecht said Tuesday in a statement. “While this may be the end of the Calloways’ story, we do believe that the themes Survivor’s Remorse confronted over the seasons, through a unique mix of humor and sober observation, will be appreciated for the insightful, heartfelt way they were addressed. We are proud of the show.”
Back in August of 2016, when Starz renewed Survivor’s Remorse for a fourth season, the premium cable network ordered 10 half-hour episodes. As of October 8th, only eight had aired. Check out these remaining descriptions from Starz press materials:

Cassie visits Rodney in prison as part of her journey to her Catholic confirmation. Reggie tries to persuade Cam to invest in Chen’s real estate deal. Missy gets some money from her father to invest in the same deal. Cam and Allison’s families get together for an engagement dinner.
EPISODE 410: “ANSWERS AND QUESTIONS”
Cam and Reggie are at odds about getting involved in a deal that involves abandoned school property, Missy is determined to pursue any lead that might get her out of the shadow of the Calloway clan and M-Chuck’s pursuit of her writing talent pits her against Cassie in a way that might never get resolved. A surprise revelation from Jimmy Flaherty leaves Cam with a choice to make: suit up or sell out.
