Fox’s ‘Fringe’ renewed for fifth and final season
Fox announced on Thursday that it will renew the supernatural mystery thriller Fringe for a fifth and final season.
“We are thrilled and beyond grateful that Fox — and our fans — have made the impossible possible,” Fringe co-creator and producer J.J. Abrams (Lost) said in a statement.
Fringe, which stars Anna Torv and Joshua Jackson as FBI “Fringe division” investigators of paranormal crimes, has struggled in the ratings but has a strong cult following. It also has drawn critical praise since its debut in the fall of 2008. At that time, USA TODAY television critic Robert Bianco called it “the best new show of the fall.”
