Banshee to End with Season 4

“Cinemax confirmed that the drama series will conclude with the fourth and final season, which will air in early 2016”.

Lucas Hood (Antony Starr) will soon have his fill of bloodshed. But the show has also managed to find new ways to keep its stories fresh, making Season 3 possibly its best season yet with some gorgeously and horrifying hard scenes (Banshee’s hallmark being the marriage of those two elements). Banshees the sort of show that will make you realize life is short, and the finale didnt disappoint, although at its end a well-liked character had been killed and another had been kidnapped. As a result, they “were able to craft an “epic” conclusion to the series” rather than an abrupt one. Talk that this was the final season has been circling ever since the network confirmed that only eight episodes had been ordered for season four, down from the ten episode orders Banshee received for its first three seasons. But it’s ending on its own creative terms, and not because Cinemax wanted it to.

If you’ve never seen “Banshee” before, check out a trailer for the show. Note here that we’re talking more so about commercial success than whether or not a show is good; Cinemax has had several great series over the past few years, with “Banshee” being up there along with “The Knick“.

If producers knew the upcoming fourth season, airing in 2016, was to be its last, why did Cinemax not announce it as “the fourth and final season”, as routinely happens?

TV Line claims that the producers of the bloody drama have “known for some time that the end was near”.
