Claws season 5: Why wasn’t it renewed at TNT?
The first thing that is worth noting here entering the episode tonight is that it was planned FAR in advance to be the ending. If you’ve watched the episode already, then you probably realize already that this was a pretty cut-and-dry conclusion. There isn’t much in here that leaves the door open for more, given that Desna and most of her crew are no longer in Palmetto. They learned something through their crazy, dangerous adventure, and that was to rely on each other and not so much the prospect of fame and fortune.
We suppose you could make an argument for a season 5 just based on the fact that most of the major characters are still alive, but this is where we remind you that Claws is not the sort of show that is meant to go on forever. Also, the majority of shows with a proper series finale don’t come back down the road. Sometimes, it’s important to have that feeling of satisfaction when you reach the end of something; that is exactly what we’ve got here.
Ultimately, the biggest thing that we hope moving forward extends somewhat beyond Claws itself. It’s more of our hope that TNT continues to stay in the scripted-content business. There was a time when the network was full of great dramas but over the past couple of years, they have really thinned the herd. While they’ve still got Snowpiercer, Claws is now over and a little later this year, we will say goodbye to Animal Kingdom as well. We may not want to do it, but it was also decided that season 6 would be the end a good while back.
