The HBO sibling network has canceled the drama, with the upcoming eight-episode fourth season set to be its last, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

But in 2016, Lucas Hood’s story will finally come to an end.

For three seasons, Banshee has put together a beat ‘em to the pulp action landscape that TV has never really seen before.

All shows end. The trick is knowing exactly how much story you have to tell and not going out too soon or sticking around too long, so that eventually your hero becomes a lumberjack.

Executive producer Jonathan Tropper provided a statement on the decision by Yahoo! Banshee features violent fights and attacks throughout its episodes, and the finales tend to be explosive; in Season 3, Hood showed up at the army base to rescue his friends while elsewhere Kai Procter got up to his own criminal agenda.

The ensemble cast also includes Ivana Miličević, Ulrich Thomsen, Frankie Faison, Hoon Lee and Lili Simmons.

Look for “Banshee” season 4 – the final season – to debut on Cinemax in 2016. I am grateful to Cinemax for making “Banshee’ the great success it has been and for supporting our creative decision to wrap things up”.

Hitfix.com reports Cinemax did not cancel “Banshee,” rather, that the producers chose to end the series, but that’s merely a semantic distinction without a difference to local folks working on the show who were hoping for more seasons of employment in the Pittsburgh region. Comment below and let us know.

New details on “Banshee” season 4 released last night by TV Line and they are certainly not what the fans were anticipating.
