Over a year ago, and barely a month after The Last Ship was renewed for Season 4 (currently airing Sundays at 9/8c), TNT extended the series’ run through a fifth season, to air in Summer 2018.
TNT tells TVLine that contrary to what The Last Ship cast member Travis Van Winkle, who plays Danny Green, announced (and later deleted) via Instagram earlier this week, the action-drama is not necessarily heading into dry dock after next summer’s Season 5.

“We shot two seasons simultaneously; the fourth is currently on the air and the fifth will return next summer,” reads the network’s statement.
