The upcoming fifth season of Six Feet Under will be the last.
Series creator and executive producer Alan Ball has told HBO that he feels that the show has run its course.
Ball told Reuters, "Working on Six Feet Under has been enormously fulfilling creatively, but if the show is about anything, it's about the fact that everything comes to an end.
"I will miss working with such enormously talented writers, cast, staff and crew and I'll always be grateful to HBO for allowing and encouraging us to tell the story we set out to tell in a challenging and uncompromising way."
Carolyn Strauss, HBO's entertainment president, thanked the cast and crew of the show for all of their impressive work, adding, "It's been a fantastic experience to be associated with this show."
The show's fifth season, which will contain twelve episodes, begins production on November 16.
