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 LOVED 4400. Why is it all the good shows get cancelled and they keep the tired old boring stuff on for decades? Why, Why, Why
I recently joined netflix for the sole reason of renting the entire 4400 series, after catching an episode on a buddies old TVO recordings. I was immediatley hooked. I was sooooooo excited to be able to rent all the seasons, AND THEEEEN, i came to the disgusting letdown that the series ended WITHOUT an ending!!!! to have invested so much time and be so prepped to see how it all ended,and then NOTHING! thaaaanxx for that. As if there arent enough letdowns in life, you cant even count on one in the world of fiction.Needless to say, i am mooooost… Read more »
This is just pathetic. This was indeed the best show on USA. I am tired of investing my time in these series and having them end abruptly without any concern for viewers who have supported their network.
this really sucks
NICE GOING USA, YOU CANCELLED THE BEST SHOW YOU HAD!!!! I’ve watched this series from the begginning and have faithfully tried to watch it every Sunday. THE WHOLE CITY OF SEATTLE IS SPIKED WITH PROMICIN EVERYONE ALIVE HAS POWERS AND YOU JUST CANCELLED IT!!!! THE SHOW NEEDS A GOOD WRAPUP. WE ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AS NICE AS YOU’VE TRIED TO PUT IT. IT MADE A LOT OF PEOPLE ANGRY. FRANKLY I HAVEN’T REALLY WATCH YOUR NETWORK SINCE I’VE HEARD OF THIS AND I DON’T PLAN ON IT UNTIL SOMEONE BRINGS THE 4400 BACK TO AT LEAST WRAP UP… Read more »
I cant believe the network exec scum sucking dogs did this. The 4400 was one of my favorite shows of all time. I will familiarize myself with the jerks who done this and make sure I dont patronize their efforts in the future. There is no reason I can think of to cancel the show (no good for nothing fools). It was absolutely great! What is wrong with series producers and execs now-a-days? They don’t know a good thing when they have it. First stargate sg1 now the 4400. What next? I mean the crap THAT SHOULD BE CANCELED don’t… Read more »
yall cant be serious, the series cant end like that. There is so much to be told, like what the hell happen to richerd, cant anyone tell me that? I am going to start a crusade until the show comes back!!!
I to have been waiting to here when the next 4400 is coming out til now. I found the show to be very very entertaining and that an ending like this is very disapointing. I am so happy that I purchased all the box sets and have told a bunch of friends who now also follow the series. What a waste of my time and money. I am so happy that I can follow reruns of the same shows over and over again. Why would a network choose to replay old shows than to give their audience something new to… Read more »
I am also a faitful viewer of the 4400 series. I was also sadden to find out that it has been cancelled. It didn’t even end properly, it was just cancelled. I waqnted to know what happened to Seattle. Did it developed into a new eden or what? The problem with the continuing – ongoing story lines is that each episode is an advancement of the last episode. They didn’t even reach the exciting conclusion, it just sort of fizzled out like some lame fireworks display; which is suppose to be all bang for your buck and it was anything… Read more »

A good story has a good beginning, a good middle,and a good ending. TV executives seem to have forgoiien the good ending part when it comes to television shows that extend beyond one season. I’ll stick to miniseries and movies from now on.
