Alias cancelled
Permalink | November 29th, 2005
ABC has decisively ended Sidney Bristow’s CIA career and cancelled Alias. The show, currently enjoying its 5th season, will air its final episode in May.
“Alias” is going undercover for good. The spy drama starring Jennifer Garner will end its five-season run in May, ABC announced Wednesday, promising a big finish.
“‘Alias’ is not going to wind down as it comes to an end, it’s going to rev up, and we’re going to make it the event it deserves to be,” ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson said in a statement.
The series co-stars Victor Garber, Ron Rifkin, Carl Lumbly and Kevin Weisman. It was created by executive producer J.J. Abrams, who is also part of ABC’s popular “Lost.”
No! What is the world coming to — how does The Simple Life get saved and Alias get cancelled?! Although, in all honesty, I really haven’t been too impressed with this season — despite the addition of Rachel Nichols. The Gordon Dean character was a bland villain, the story line reads like a recycled plot from season 2, and Sydney fighting evil while pregnant, c’mon guys. They should have ended it with Season 4 — after the encounter in Sovogda (and before it cuts to Sydney and Vaugh driving in Santa Barbara). That would have been a great ending.
