The Vampire Diaries lost Nina Dobrev last season and has struggled in her absence.

No word on how this will affect spin off series The Originals.

Showtime is also saying goodbye to Episodes starring Matt LeBlanc as a version of himself, albeit a heightened version.

The series has been a staple on Showtime and has earned LeBlanc Emmy nominations for his work.

The final season will have seven episodes.

“Episodes’ scathing portrait of network executives has kept me on my best behavior these last several years, for which I am grudgingly grateful to Jeffrey and David,” said Gary Levine, President of Programming, Showtime Networks. “I love this show and can’t wait to see what comic heights Matt and company will scale during the fifth and final season of our inspired series.”
