Fans of the USA Network’s unique science-fiction series, The 4400, have been waiting patiently to hear about the show’s return ever since the season four finale aired in September. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the series is coming back.
USA has yet to make an official announcement about the cancellation but The 4400’s creator and executive producer Scott Peters says that the show is indeed over. In a post on the show’s messageboard, Peters said, “It’s with great sadness that I pass along to you the information I’ve just received — The 4400 has been cancelled. We’ve had a great time bringing you this story and submersing you in the lives of all these incredible characters.”
Peters went on to say, “I just spoke to Joel [Gretsch] and we had a great talk about what we all accomplished and how much we’ll miss our family that is our crew and our cast… and our fans. But at least we got to go out with a bang! I had an awesome time directing the last episode. I think I got to make almost every single cast member cry (on camera). How much fun was that?!”
“So let me raise my metaphorical glass to you all and thank you for being so loyal and so dedicated. I wish we could go on forever, but the party has come to an end. Be well and on behalf of all of us at The 4400 — thank you, it’s been a pleasure.”
Actress Jacqueline McKenzie, who plays Diana Skouris, posted to fans on her MySpace page saying, “I know I speak for all the cast: We really appreciate the support and dedication of our fans! Thank you!”
Hopefully USA will produce a TV movie to wrap up the series’ loose threads. We’ll keep you posted so stay tuned! 
UPDATE: USA’s Executive VP of Original Programming, Jeff Wachtel, has confirmed the cancellation.
I’m very disappointed that 4400 has been cancelled especially in light of all the garbage that continues; eg: Burn Notice. It’s bad enough that it was only on during the summer and I waited six months to start watching it again. The cancellation leaves so many open ends, so many questions still to be answered. Can someone tell us fans the reason for the cancellation.
This show was so good that it deserved an ending. The viewers also deserved an ending. I would think that if one’s going to cancel an already-established series, that they would be smart enough to do a wrap-up to the show in order to “end” the story and answer fan’s questions so as to not allienate viewers from watching any future programming that the network may feature. After this experience, I for one will not be investing in and watching any new TV series. Nowadays, we can go to any video store or search online and rent TV shows that… Read more »
Too bad a good show is cancelled.
WHY??? I’ve looked forward to seeing how the series comes to a final for over 6 months. I think that the show ought to be brought back just to finalize all the questions that have arision in the past 4 seasons. PLEASE DON’T LEAVE US HANGING!!!!
Hopefully they give the fans a TV movie to wrap up the show. It’s like reading a really good book, but the last chapter is missing. I hate that. I REALLY hope they do a TV movie.
I can’t believe this bulls**t. I get excited every summer for this show to come on again and they cancel it. Its like if abc decided to cancel “lost.” So sad. I’m so angry
This is just not fair and cruel!! Where do we go from here? Please follow through and finish something!
Why! I absolutely hate it when a really fantastic show has been on with a great fanbase and then they leave us hanging!!! What’s wrong with you people? At least when I read a book, I can get to the ending. What about a movie? Even “Star Trek” came through for us “Trekkies”.
I say nuts, anyone know where to mail them in?
I am so sick of TV shows that die b4 the story is told, total waste of time, sad to say I got sucked into this one, enought tho. I called and had my cable disconected a few weeks ago, nothing but bad news on the news, and good shows with no endings.
I have no confidence in the networks at all anymore.
Please do at least one last show…..
We need closure, PLEASE!
Bring the 4400 back ! We love this show.
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW……..
I DON’T HAVE THE MONEY FOR ANY SUNFLOWER SEEDS AND YOU MAYNOT HAVE ANYONE TO EAT THEM BUT THIS IS A VERY GOOD SHOW THAT IS GOOD FOR ALL THAT WATCH IT.
AGAIN PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW

I just saw a preview for the new season starting this Sun. on USA what is going on.
A wrap up of 4400 would be greatly appreciated. I watched every single episode. I looked forward to each season. It’s a shame that it’s been cancelled. I hope its possible that it might come back.
