The network AMC has officially confirmed that the fourth season of this epic period drama will unfortunately be its last and final chapter – Season 5 of Turn: Washington’s Spies has been cancelled. This decision was undoubtedly based on the declining viewership and also the fact that the storyline didn’t really captivate the audience the way it should have. Competing with shows like The Walking Dead, which actually earned a lot of smack during its last season, they still raked in over 11 Million viewers and boasted a rating of 5.39 in the 18-49 demographic. In comparison, Turn: Washington’s Spies literally can’t compete with only half a million viewers and a demo rating of 0.14. And sadly the overall very strong rating of 8 out of 10 stars on IMDb and 8.1 out of 10 on TV.com doesn’t really matter anymore at this point. No season 5 for Turn: Washington’s Spies.

About the show

Turn: Washington’s Spies is a period drama series that follows a farmer from New York who bands together with a group of friends to form an unlikely group of spies. The show was written by Craig Silverstein, executive produced by Silverstein, Barry Josephson and Michael Taylor and is produced by AMC Studios, Sesfonstein Productions and Josephson Entertainment. Based on a popular 2007 novel by Alexander Rose, called Washington Spies: The Story of America’s First Spy Ring, season 1 of the series debuted on AMC on April 6, 2014. Turn: Washington’s Spies season 4 kicked off on June 17th, 2017 and will be the last and final installment of the series.

Jamie Bell stars as Abraham Woodhull, a farmer living in British-occupied Long Island during the Revolution War. Joining forces with his childhood friends, he forms The Culper Ring — a group of spies, who help turn the tide in America’s fight for independence. In their pursuit of freedom they make sacrifices and face personal demons, and even betrayal. With George Washington (played by Ian Kahn) at the helm and colonies struggling to become a nation, the outcome of the revolution hinges on alliances made both on and off the battlefield.

Even though it's not aired over hear, lots of fans of the series in Europe can't wait for season 4. Keep it up! It's not all about quantity in ratings, quality is what makes a series great!

Just turned my brother and his wife onto the show and we just finished season 3. We LOVE it and can watch it with our 5 year old. Great acting. Great costumes. History. And lots of horses! Nothing better...

We absolutely love this show. It started out a little slow but really ramped up the past two seasons. Please, don't cancel this after Season 4!! There's so much trash on TV and this is a fine show with strong plots and acting!

So very happy this show is being renewed. I think this is something our children should watch to see the sacrifices our forefathers did in order to have the wonderful country we have today. I like that the historic drama is true to our history and not an interpretation of what others feel our history our nation is. I look forward to seeing season 4. Thank you AMC for renewing this show.

I thoroughly enjoy watching this period of history. We haven't seen much on the Revolutionary War that I can recall.

I am so happy that TURN has been renewed as it is a great show that shows real historic events and in fact some we as Americans never learn in school. Although I have taken many courses in college and they touched so to speak on Washington's Spy ring, TURN goes into depth about each person who played a part in helping George Washington especially the episode, that thanks to the spy ring, kept the war going that being the West Point one. Had Washington not been warned, the war would of probably been over and Washington most likely would of been killed. The point I am making is this, perhaps more advertising on other cable or regular TV stations would help bring the ratings up. This show is so great ALL Americans should watch and probably would if they knew about it. I talk about it all the time on Facebook and to people I know here in Florida. I am originally from NYC so TURN has a special place in my heart. Please find a way to let those who don't watch this show to in fact watch it !

I've been a great fan of this awesome show since it first debuted and am delighted to hear it has been renewed for another season. I've small hope AMC will greenlight it for a 5th considering reports of "lost" viewership, leaves me sad but not surprised. As a big history buff, Turn is a welcomed breath of fresh air fantastically executed week after week, leaving many viewers on the edge of their seat. Everything from the script to the wonderful ensemble cast perfectly brings to life the tumultuous period in our Nation's history. 8)

Dear Amc Im happy that Turn Washington Spies has been renewed for its fourth season, but Im not happy that it will be the last one. I dont understand, that is a great show with great cast. I love the show and I hope it continues on. I want it to continue, please. All the stars play a great role in their character, and JJ Field did a wonderful job playing Major John Andre. There is a resembles about him too. Thank you. Stephanie P.

Thank you, AMC, for renewing TURN for another season. We never like shows to stop if they are our favorites, but this is the best way to do it..."we're canceling it, but here's a last call to enjoy before doing so." I appreciate it and will savor it!

Awesome show, good to see its going to conclude with a season 4, great actors who all play the parts so well, its like a pantomime in your home a real gem and heavily overlooked by a lot of people, THESE WHERE REAL LIFE CHARACTERS not some rubbish zombie nonsense.

GET BEHIND THE SHOW and learn something while your watching and enjoying TV, The producers of the show have kept it quite historically correct and in saying that have managed to make each character exciting to watch through the entire entourage of actors.

FINALLY a show with drama, suspense, romance and mostly intelligence!! I've never been so interested in American history before. I find myself glued to the TV for each episode of Turn. We need more shows like this to bring our history to life!!! I'm so tired of reality shows. Bring smart TV back again!!

I totally agree. I am now so very interested in my American history - knowing what all these guys went through. It's great that most of these characters are real people.
