Girls Ending With Season 6
HBO's Girls has an end date.
According to E!, Lena Dunham's Brooklyn-based show will say goodbye at the end of its sixth season, with the fifth season still to air.
The decision was foreshadowed last September, when Dunham told Elvis Duran that she was planning to wrap up the stories of Hannah, Jessa, Marnie and Shoshanna. "Never say never, but that is the way we're thinking about it right now and we're starting to think about sort of how to wrap up the storylines of these particular young women," said Dunham. "It's really exciting. I started working on this show when I was 23, and I'm going to be 30 so it kind of feels right that this show kind of sandwiched my 20s and then I go off into the world."

John Stamos Asked Another Olsen to Join Fuller House
Full House is returning next month with a new series called Fuller House, but the Olsens won't be reprising their role as Michelle Tanner. Show producer John Stamos has revealed why that's the case, confirming they also offered the part to the twins' younger sister, Elizabeth.
In an interview with Howard Stern (via People), Stamos said he asked Mary-Kate Olsen about the role, but the twins weren't interested. "I talked to Mary-Kate and I explained kind of what the show was going to be, and told them I would love them to be on there and they decided not to, which I respect."
The Show that Ended in 2015 That You’ll Miss the Most
Last week we invited you all to take a poll about which TV show that ended in 2015 you were most upset about. The one that may not have gotten proper closure. Or, even, the one that did but you still wanted more of.
Well, the results are in and Hannibal took the top spot, in a very definitive manner. If you go down the list you'll see beloved shows like Parks and Recreation, Community, Justified, and the like; all of which were great series but got to live way longer than Hannibal's three seasons. And all of which knew their end was coming and prepared accordingly. Some would say that Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller saw the cancelation writing on the wall and gave us an ending that could stand as either a cliffhanger OR a finish, but it's clear that Hannibal fans still desperately want more.
