FX's JUSTIFIED Season Six Will Be Its Last

According to The Hollywood Reporter, FX has confirmed that JUSTIFIED, starring Timothy Olyphant will conclude its run with its sixth season.

FX Networks CEO John Landgraf told reporters today, Tuesday January 14th at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour, "It was [showrunner] Graham Yost and Timothy Olyphant's decision. I would have liked to have had more Justified, it's one of my favorite shows."

The FX exec noted that he reluctantly accepted the news.

Based on Elmore Leonard's novella Fire in the Hole, Justified was developed by Graham Yost and stars Timothy Olyphant as 'Deputy US Marshal Raylan Givens,' a lawman who finds himself drawn back to his home state of Kentucky. This January, Raylan confronts the Crowes, a deadly, lawless family from Florida intent on settling in Harlan with new criminal enterprises in mind.

Meanwhile, 'Boyd Crowder' (Walton Goggins) struggles to free his imprisoned fiancée 'Ava' (Joelle Carter) as he partners with the Dixie Mafia's 'Wynn Duffy' (Jere Burns).

The series co-stars Walton Goggins as 'Boyd Crowder;' Nick Searcy as Givens' longtime friend and boss 'Chief Deputy Art Mullen;' Jacob Pitts as 'Deputy Marshal Tim Gutterson;' Erica Tazel as 'Deputy Marshal Rachel Brooks;' Joelle Carter as 'Ava Crowder;' and Jere Burns as 'Wynn Duffy.'

Yost wrote the pilot and serves as Executive Producer/Writer on the series. Executive Producers on the series include Carl Beverly, Sarah Timberman, Michael Dinner, Fred Golan, Dave Andron, Don Kurt, and the late Elmore Leonard, who passed away during the production of this season. Justified is produced by Sony Pictures Television and FX Productions.
