The Strain will end after five seasons – or so the producers have long maintained.
However, speaking at today’s FX press tour, Carlton Cuse suggested that while The Strain still has a limited lifespan, Season 5 might not be the last in the series after all:
"It's the best thing as a showrunner to end your own show, because the end of the narrative is so compelling." – Carlton Cuse #TCA16

Cuse adds that shows have "a beginning, middle and end," and you "want to bring it a conclusion." #TheStrain #TCA16

Cuse and Co are sitting down right now to figure out the "optimal number of episodes" to tell the end story of #TheStrain #TCA16

Showrunner Carlton Cruse initially thought #TheStrain would be a 3-season show, now less sure. #TCA16

Initially the show was 3 seasons, then 5… They're writing the 4th now, but don't firmly know Season 5 is the last one. #TheStrain #TCA16
