FX Confirms That 'Justified' Will End After Next Season

Last week, FX President of Original Programming Nick Gad alluded to the possibility that Justified could wrap things up after its next season. On Tuesday, FX Networks CEO John Landgraf made it official: Justified's sixth season will be its last.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Landgraf made it clear that Justified showrunner Graham Yost and star/co-executive producer Timothy Olyphant were on board with the decision, saying, "We talked about it a year ago and they felt that the arc of the show and what they had to say would be served by six seasons instead of seven and I regretfully accepted their decision."

Kudos to FX for listening to the creative talent behind their programming and accepting that sometimes the best stories don't need to go on forever, no matter how well a series is doing in the ratings.

Justified is only two episodes into its fifth season, so there's no need to start getting weepy over the show ending just yet. That said, I hope Justified stars like Olyphant and Walton Goggins will spin the show wrapping into successful careers. Yeah, Olyphant has been around for awhile, but Justified is the biggest thing on his résumé now.
