TNT has cancelled The Last Ship after five seasons, Travis Van Winkle has confirmed.
The actor took to Instagram to announce that the military drama’s upcoming fifth season will be the last in the series, with no Season 6:
“After five years, that’s a wrap on The Last Ship. An experience that taught me so much about being a man[..] To the cast.. I love you. To the crew.. I love you. To the writers/producers.. I love you. Danny Green.. Thanks for the memories. Signing out.”
In theory, the advanced notice gives the writers enough time to resolve The Last Ship on a ‘satisfying’ note without major cliffhangers.
The fifth and final season of The Last Ship is expected to premiere summer 2018.
RIP.
Rob says
I always understood that The Last Ship would only be 5 seasons anyway. So this isn’t a surprise. I knew they had finished filming Season 5, which will air next year. Plenty of ways to wrap up the series.
Pat says
So, if they already filmed season 5, then the writers cannot resolve anything – or did I misunderstand you?
Bronco46 says
I was shocked it last 13 seasons. It made absolutely no sense, at all.
Pat says
Learn to read. Five seasons

I think TNT is bad, that is the only show I watch on there network. I have to pay extra for TNT. I guess I wont anymore.
tex's ghost says
show has never recovered from losing Doc Scott and regan is a horrible actress and dire replacement
Bronco46 says
I stopped watching before the end of the first season. The show made no sense at all.
I don’t know who Doc Scott was. But, he was smart to leave that sinking ship.
Put a stake in it’s heart.
Robert says
You are CLUELESS and your comments illustrate that very clearly. Get some air and think before you write anything. Oy Vey!
Tom Manley says
Please don’t cancel the last ship
Karen says
This is the only show we watch that passes in a flash. The story is engaging! Shame the networks are after the almighty dollar, instead of what viewers want, like it used to be.
DON ADAMS says
GREAT SHOW, THEY SHOULD KEEP IT GOING. MAYBE ANOTHER NETWORK WILL PICK IT UP, LIKE FOX.
Mike says
I too love the last ship and can’t wait to watch it every Sunday. I would not count on Fox though, after all they cancelled the new 24 series after one season……………..
Robert says
Guess nobody was interested in watching the “Token black guy” trying to save the freaking world…so liberal and weak to it’s core!
DON DAMON says
Sorry to say, that won’t happen. This show has taken it’s last voyage. Season 5 is it. And maybe a good thing. These actors need to move on with their careers.
Tim P says
I Love The Last Ship! It’s the only show I watch on TNT. All their other shows kinda stink.
ivey says
I agree I think another network should pick it up. Please, this is a great show!
Dennie Wood says
I absolutely love The Last Ship. I love the way the good guys always find a way to win although it is very sad when one or more has to die. I worry that some of them I really like may be killed. To me all of it is very real. I will miss it.
Bronco46 says
They call that unrealistic!!
Johnny says
The Last Ship sucked after the first season. Somewhere in the season with the British submarines it got really stupid as hell.
Lynn says
Sorry to hear the season is ending. Seem a habit tnt has of cancelling good entertaining shows. Hoping another station will pick it up and save the show. Great actors, great show, great loss.
caryl parker says
Please don’t cancel this terrific show! If I really like a show, it gets shot down, every time.
Bronco46 says
5 years is hardly getting shot down. I was shocked they did the first full season.
Bronco46 says
Finally! Drive a stake in its heart! So it doesn’t come back!
Charles says
I loved watching this show, great acting and a good story line. It was a fiction well done and I will miss it . Ne great if Netflix got it.
Paul says
At least they’re wrapping it up, and how long can 1 battleship continue to save the world anyways?
ERIC says
After Falling Skies ended i stopped watching.
uncle V says
after mc steamy didn’t have a relationship with super doc the show went south –love the premise so still watch it –as a super plague is only a sneeze away ! maybe ‘the last Trump’ show will replace it ? ha
John Plant says
Yet another cancellation what’s the betting it gets replaced with a useless reality show or
a very lame sitcom,or Evan better why not another cooking show or some thing really different
like a sport’s event?
regard’s

Joe Notarian says
Well, another one bites the dust! The only two good shows on TNT and they had to screw it up as usual. The Last Ship and Falling Skies was the only reason I watched TNT. It seems like when ever they have a good show they cancel it and put on some lame crap.
