The Troubles have fully set in for Haven – Syfy has cancelled the supernatural drama after months of uncertainty.
Haven will end its run after the remainder of Season 5 airs this fall, TheWrap reports.
The decision to cancel Haven came after production had wrapped on the 26-episode fifth season, but Showrunner Gabrielle Stanton says it delivers a “satisfying ending”:
“We are looking at our final episodes coming up. We approached as if it was going to be our final season, so we were ready for it story-wise. But you never know. If a million people watch, maybe we can do something about that… But we had an idea that it might be [the final season]. I’m sure as a fellow TV fan, there’s nothing more annoying than when a show kind of feels like it might be wrapping up, but they just don’t address it, they don’t come to any kind of satisfying conclusion. I always think that’s cheating the audience a little bit, of a nice satisfying ending. So we really looked at these 13 episodes as if… If we were indeed going to end, what would be the best ending we could possibly do for Haven?
Given the threat of cancellation going into Season 5, Stanton notes that Haven doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, but “absolutely” has the potential to resurrect for Season 6 elsewhere:
We left it open but if it is the series finale, we think the fans will be satisfied. We didn’t want to leave it on a giant cliffhanger, just in case we didn’t come back.
I’m sure that [the show’s production companies] eOne and Piller/Segan/Shepard are out there looking at [finding a new home], which is out there now. It’s so cool, that that option now exists where it never used to. I can’t speak to it personally because I’m not involved in those discussions.
RIP.

Haven, I have been a Loyal Fan from the beginning.
I do hope the Ratings go up. The shows being offered do not have the same kind of story plot or Subject interest….
Haven is a One of a Kind ….
I will miss see it…

I also hope it’s picked up elsewhere. I subscribe to 3 premium channels as well as Netflix. If anyone other than HBO, Showtime, Starz or Netflix picks up Haven, then it looks like I’ll be paying for yet another subscription. Haven is that good. An added plus is that I’ll be curious as to the changes that likely will happen as a result of not having the constraints of censorship.

I hope Syfy reconsiders. Haven is one of the best shows on TV!
Lorraine says

I FOUND HAVEN ON NETFLIX, AND HAVE BEEN ENJOYING IT SO MUCH. THE CHARACTERS ARE WONDERFUL AND UNIQUE. IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO CANCEL. HOPING SOMEONE WILL PICK IT UP!!!!!
Charlie says
PLEASE someone pick up Haven. Love Love Love!!!
Christina says
I love Haven and I will be very disappointed if there’s not another season. I really hope syfy reconsiders.
Rosie says
What is wrong with the bosses over at Syfy. First you cancelled Eureka and now Haven. I’ve been noticing what new shows you have coming on your station and they don’t look very promising. Don’t get me started about Lost Girl.
MrPeach says
Totally with you Rosie. I came to Haven mid-run, but have been a fanatical watcher ever since. The cancellation has hit me hard. 🙁
Adarious says
I don’t think it has anything to do with intelligent selection .. they just want to feed the mindless masses. I mean seriously, a boatload of crappy B movies, generally horrible series (sharknado anyone?) …. ugh … these new owners should be subjected to civil justice.
Jo Thomas says
Haven has a great following. I’ve had “Haven ” parties since first show. There’s a group of 13 of us. Please don’t cancel.
Christina says
I’m hoping there’s a season 6, I’m in love this with this tv show and I will be very heartbroken if it is canceled. Please either reconsider or hopefully someone else picks it up.
Marlene says
Say it ain’t so!!!!! I can’t believe Haven is cancelled…one of
Ben says
I liked this show, BUT I liken new SyFy MORE, This season I watched 2 space shows that I LOVED, 12 Monkeys: Loved… I like the new more hard SciFi SyFy channel!!!
Now just give me 24 episode Battle Star Galactica/Star Trek Like show, Space ship fights mixed with space explorations, cool aliens, cool weapons, supernatural aliens etc even mix in time travel, planets killed by viruses, space zombies, ect, just mix every part of scifi together, its that easy when you do space exploration, one planet might be fairies and elf’s (that how they evolved) another robots and goo aliens… etc
Adarious says
Haven, like Warehouse 13, Eureka, Stargate, and a small handful of others…some which predate these new retards .. *cough*…I mean..owners… .. (like Being Human, Alphas, First Wave, Dark Angel, (if you want to get really old .. Quantum Leap), Sliders, etc.)) …. it’s sad to see the state this network is in now … I just wish a new one would surface and be like the old scifi channel was before it became Sylie.
