The fate of Fringe has finally been decided, and it’s good news: Fox has renewed the show for a fifth and final season!
It was announced today that Fringe has been renewed, despite its low ratings, which last year prompted Fox executives to express their concerns about the show’s future.
But after a tense few months of negotiations, Fox has decided to renew Fringe after all, in part due to its dedicated fan base and the need to give the show a satisfying ending.
We are extremely happy about this news and we’re sure you are too! Way to go Fox!
A press release provided the following positive remarks from the show’s creators:
“FRINGE is a remarkably creative series that has set the bar as one of television’s most imaginative dramas. Bringing it back for a final 13 allows us to provide the climactic conclusion that its passionate and loyal fans deserve,” said Reilly “The amazing work the producers, writers and the incredibly talented cast and crew have delivered the last four seasons has literally been out of this world. Although the end is bittersweet, it’s going to be a very exciting final chapter.”
FRINGE co-creator and executive producer J.J. Abrams added, “We are thrilled and beyond grateful that FOX – and our fans – have made the impossible possible: FRINGE will continue into a fifth season that will allow the series to conclude in a wild and thrilling way. All of us at Bad Robot are forever indebted to our viewers and the amazingly supportive FOX network for allowing the adventures of Fringe Division to not only continue, but to resolve in a way that perfectly fits the show.”
