Alias Coming To An End
ABC announced that its spy series Alias will end its five-season run May 2006. The spy drama had seen its ratings fall since moving to Thursdays from Wednesdays this season.
The pregnancy of star Jennifer Garner, meanwhile, had necessitated retooling the show, with new cast members, a new story arc and an upcoming mid-season hiatus while Garner has her baby.
Entertainment President Stephen McPherson said in a statement: “Alias is not going to wind down as it comes to an end; it’s going to rev up, and we’re going to make it the event it deserves to be.”
From creator J.J. Abrams, Alias has earned seven Emmy Awards, and Garner won a Golden Globe for the role as superspy Sydney Bristow in 2002.
This season, Alias added new cast members Balthazar Getty as Thomas Grace, Rachel Nichols as Rachel Gibson and Élodie Bouchez as Renée Rienne. In addition to Garner, the Alias cast includes Victor Garber, Ron Rifkin, Carl Lumbly and Kevin Weisman.
Alias was created by J.J. Abrams, who executive-produces the series along with Ken Olin, Jeff Pinkner, Jesse Alexander and Jeffrey Bell.

They should have let it die a graceful death at the end of 4. Or ended on a high at the end of 3.
Yeah, this one needs to end before she starts breast feeding during missions.
