ABC has ended the run of Rookie Blue starring Missy Peregrym after six seasons, with the recent season finale now serving as the series’ finale. Creator Ilana Frank confirmed the decision, saying, “On behalf of the whole Rookie Blue family, thank you to all the fans for your dedication over the last six years. After six fun and dramatic seasons, our story has come to a natural close.”


Series stars Peregrym, Enuka Okuma, and Priscilla Faia took to twitter to thank fans for their six years of support:

“Message to the fans from Charlotte Sullivan. She is forever grateful for you support and wanted to say….”They’ve burst my heart open and I’m going to need biomaterials to replace my busted heart. I will never be the same.” – Charlotte AKA Gail” – @mperegrym

“6 amazing years of memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. Thank u @RookieBlue_ABC @Rookiebluetv and LOVE 2 the best FANS ever!” – @enukaokuma

“With the official word out. I would like to thank all of you for your undying support. Some of the best times in my life. @Rookiebluetv” – @priscillafaia

Syfy is also saying goodbye to two of its primetime shows. Neither Defiance nor Dominion will be returning for additional seasons. Defiance‘s third season ratings were down from season two while Dominion just never caught on with viewers and will end after two seasons.

Confirming the cancellation of Defiance, Syfy released a statement: “Defiance was a truly groundbreaking series, delivering an immersive, cross-platform experience that transcended the television screen in a way that viewers had never seen before. We are incredibly proud of the work of the extraordinary cast, writers, artists and designers — and especially showrunner Kevin Murphy — who together brought the rich world of Defiance to life over its three season arc.”

Dominion star Chris Egan also tweeted a thanks to his fans:
