As high as the bar may be, The Last Ship fans should squash any hopes they have of the series performing well enough to sway TNT into granting it a Season 6.
Rumors had been swirling the show would end after Season 5 even prior to the network’s announcement, as castmember Travis Van Winkle had accidentally spilled the beans when referring to Season 5’s completed production as a “series wrap” on a now-deleted Instagram post.
The good news is that it appears that the cast and crew all seemed aware Season 5 would be the show’s last, which means fans shouldn’t have to worry about the show not getting a proper and conclusive ending.
