John Landgraf shared with the reporters at the TCA that Justified is one of his favorite shows and he would’ve wanted for it to stay, although he has agreed to this decision taken by the showruner Graham Yost and the star of the show Timothy Olyphant.

The fifth season of Justified just kicked off earlier this month and now the next season will the final season of the show, which will be premiered sometime in 2015. Earlier the rumors quoted that the current season 5 is the show’s last season on FX but then after Landgraf’s statement at the TCA, it was confirmed otherwise. All rumors stating the fate of Justified were put to rest as the FX has made its official statement at the TCA. Although, we agree with CEO Landgraf on the fact that the show could have continued.

Along with Justified, several other popular shows are also getting over in the near future. FX would also be bidding adieu to its super hit dram Sons of Anarchy, which will be airing the final and seventh season during the fall this year. Joining the club are three other shows by HBO – True Blood, Boardwalk Empire and Newsroom, which are also saying goodbye by airing their finale seasons this year.

However, this renewal of ‘Girls’ has come out to be a little surprising. The comedy which is created by Lena Dunham, who also stars in the show, has always been a part of the cultural dialogue. Apart from Game of Thrones, ‘Girls’ is one of the most dissected series of the HBO Network. The drama has always made highlights for its critics’ appreciation. Girls has been nominated for an Emmy and won two Golden Globes last year for the best comedy category and for the creator and star Lena Dunham. The show is competing again at Sunday’s kudos for the best comedy.

As far as its ratings are concerned, Girls has seen some normal ratings in same-day viewership but still is one of the largest DVR growers for the network. Last season of Girls saw an average of 6 million viewers every week, including replays.

Along with Dunham, Judd Apatow and Jenni Konner are the executive producers of Girls and Jenni also shares the screen with Dunham. Season one and two consisted of 10 episodes each and from the third season onwards the show will follow a 12-episode format. As of now, Girls is the only comedy show on HBO which has been ordered for a renewal. Way to go Girls!
