Yes! That's all I can say regarding this news. Even though many thought this would be the final season of Fringe, things have gone in different direction once again. The show has been renewed for one final season (13 episodes). Check out the press release:

FOX BOOKS “FRINGE” FOR A FIFTH AND FINAL CHAPTER

13 Episodes Ordered for 2012-2013 Season

FOX has picked up FRINGE for a fifth and final 13-episode season, it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company.

“FRINGE is a remarkably creative series that has set the bar as one of television’s most imaginative dramas. Bringing it back for a final 13 allows us to provide the climactic conclusion that its passionate and loyal fans deserve,” said Reilly “The amazing work the producers, writers and the incredibly talented cast and crew have delivered the last four seasons has literally been out of this world. Although the end is bittersweet, it’s going to be a very exciting final chapter.”

FRINGE co-creator and executive producer J.J. Abrams added, “We are thrilled and beyond grateful that FOX – and our fans – have made the impossible possible: FRINGE will continue into a fifth season that will allow the series to conclude in a wild and thrilling way. All of us at Bad Robot are forever indebted to our viewers and the amazingly supportive FOX network for allowing the adventures of Fringe Division to not only continue, but to resolve in a way that perfectly fits the show.”

“This pickup means the world (both of them) to us, because we love sharing these stories with our enthusiastic fans,” added FRINGE showrunners and executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman. “On behalf of the cast and crew, we applaud our fans and FOX for allowing us to imagine the impossibilities together for so long. Season Five is going to be a conclusive thrill ride for all of us.”

FRINGE’s compelling fourth season concludes with three all-new FRINGE Friday episodes in a row, counting down to the two-part season finale on Friday, May 4 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and Friday, May 11 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). In “Worlds Apart,” airing Friday, April 27 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), team members on both sides, including Olivia (Anna Torv) and Peter (Joshua Jackson), continue to fight for a common cause, and there are shocking developments tied to the Cortexiphan children.

Created by J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, FRINGE is produced by Bad Robot Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. Abrams, Bryan Burk, Jeff Pinkner, J.H. Wyman and Joe Chappelle serve as executive producers, while Kurtzman, Orci and Akiva Goldsman are consulting producers. Additionally, Pinkner and Wyman serve as the series’ showrunners. “Like” FRINGE on Facebook at www.facebook.com/fringe.

Always looked good but i never got into it. When the whole thing ends up on Netflix ill probably make a marathon out of it.

Thank GOD it's getting at least one more season!, Would love it to continue beyond, but I'll take what I can get.

Good for FRINGE!!!

Maybe Josh Jackson could do some more stories to expand the mythology, like he did with the comics between S3 and S4. Just glad Walter isnt gone yet.

glad to hear. I thought for certain this was the last season. Good to know we will all get some closure out of the series before it ends.
I also wanna know more about the future that was show in last weeks episode, and they have no plans to go back to that timeline this season.

Finally good news from Fox

Sweeeet! I'm glad it gets to have an ending. T

Great news, best show on network tv.
JamesBond007Skyfall - 4/26/2012, 7:46 PM
I'm devastated it is ending after 4 and a half seasons...a 13 episode final season isn't really justice, more like a slap in the face. It really is the smartest, most imaginative show on network television today. Too bad it was too smart for some people to understand. Thankfully I have the DVDs so Fringe will always be in my house. I will however miss new episodes...

Hot damn! This is wonderful news! I love this show, it is one of the most creative shows ever produced. I'm glad we get to see what will go down with the watchers trying to take over and we get more Peter and Olivia. For all those that haven't watched this show I implore you to watch it from the first episode, it is that good.

So HAPPY to hear this. Best cast on television. People are missing out if they aren't/haven't been watching.
thewonderer - 4/26/2012, 11:33 PM
Wow this is far from greatest show on tv. That would be game of thrones or breaking bad
ratthawks - 4/26/2012, 11:39 PM
Actually I was really freaking out that it might not get picked up for a 5th season, got a smile bigger than the freaking Joker right now:)

I was so worried that Fox might just cancel, but I was so happy when they announced the final season yesterday. I was smiling and crying knowing this incredible show was coming to an end.
SuperGeek1990 - 4/27/2012, 7:13 AM
At least we will get some closure.
Talontd - 4/27/2012, 10:04 AM

AWESOME! I'm glad it's being picked up for a final season. Still, I wouldn't have minded a comic book follow up either. :)
