The jig is almost up for Lucas Hood.

Although unconfirmed by Cinemax, TVLine has learned exclusively that Banshee‘s upcoming eight-episode fourth season will be the show’s last.

I’m told producers have known for some time that that end was near, and, as a result, were able to craft an “epic” conclusion to the series.

In an interview with TVGuide.com last March, EP Greg Yaitanes — who’s currently helming Cinemax’s new hitman drama Quarry — acknowledged that Banshee “always had a limited premise and lifespan,” adding, “We push hard to make sure every episode is better than the one before it, and that takes an enormous amount of energy and creativity and work.”

Banshee‘s fourth and final season — featuring Eliza Dushku! — is slated to bow in early 2016.
