What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the TNT cable channel, The Last Ship stars Eric Dane, Bridget Regan, Adam Baldwin, Charles Parnell, Travis Van Winkle, Marissa Neitling, Christina Elmore, Jocko Sims, Bren Foster, and Kevin Michael Martin. The drama centers on the crew of the USS Nathan James, which must try to find a cure for a deadly virus that has wiped out most of the world’s population.

Telly’s Take
Relax and enjoy the fourth season without worrying if The Last Ship TV show will be cancelled or renewed for season five. TNT already issued an early fifth season renewal back in September of 2016, ahead of the season three finale. Whether that renewal was actually for a fifth and final season may depend upon the ratings, I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page with new developments.
