'The Newsroom' To End After Season 3

HBO has just announced that The Newsroom has been renewed for a third season. Unfortunately, the third season will also be its last.

Michael Lombardo, the president of HBO programming announced today The Emmy^®-winning HBO drama series will begin production on its third and final season this spring, with debut slated for fall.

“THE NEWSROOM is classic Aaron Sorkin – smart, riveting and thought-provoking,” said Lombardo. “I’m sure this farewell season will be one to remember.”

I'm so bummed! I loved watching the cast and I loved seeing a new point of view on the news stories of the past couple of years. Here's hoping the third season is fantastic.

Returning cast regulars include Jeff Daniels (who received an Emmy^® in the category of Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for the show last September), Emily Mortimer, Sam Waterston, John Gallagher, Jr., Alison Pill, Thomas Sadoski, Dev Patel and Olivia Munn.
