Big Love Coming to a Big End
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, Cancellations,
Let’s hope TLC brings back the Sister Wives action, because it’s soon going to end on HBO. It was just announced that Big Love's upcoming fifth season will also double as its last.
According to the show’s producers, the decision to end the program was simply storyline-dictated.
“When we created Big Love in 2002, we had a strong conception of the journey the Henrickson family would make over the course of the series, of the story we had to tell,” creators Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer said in a statement. “While we were in the writers’ room this year shaping our fifth season, we discovered that we were approaching the culmination of that story.”
Mark and Will did offer fans some good news to help offset the disappoinment. “This coming January, we look forward to presenting our audience with the most vibrant and satisfying final season of a television series that we can produce,” the duo promised.
Big Love will begin its farewell on January 16.

Quote of the Day: Chloe Sevigny on Big Love’s Awful Season
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, Gossip,
UPDATE: You can read Sevigny’s apology for her comments here.
“It was awful this season, as far as I’m concerned. I’m not allowed to say that! [Gasps.] It was very telenovela. I feel like it kind of got away from itself. The whole political campaign seemed to me very farfetched. I mean, I love the show, I love my character, I love the writing, but I felt like they were really pushing it this last season. And with nine episodes, I think they were just squishing too much in. HBO only gave us nine Sundays, because they have so much other original programming—especially with The Pacific—and they only have a certain amount of Sundays per year, so we only got nine Sundays. I think that they had more story than episodes. I think that’s what happened… Me and the girls [Jeanne Tripplehorn and Ginnifer Goodwin] definitely were not very happy with where it was going—or more kind of, ‘We really hope it’s going to work. It seems like they’re really pushing it.’ I think next season, they’re going to go back to more just the family. I think that the stuff with Ben and Lois and that stuff was really great in Mexico, but… [Laughs.]”
-Golden Globe winner Chloe Sevigny (Nicolette Grant) agreeing with criticism of Big Love‘s fourth season.
