Justified Wasn’t Canceled After Season 6 – It Ended With Purpose

At the 2015 Television Critics Association winter press tour (as covered by Entertainment Weekly), Graham Yost said, “We just felt like if this chapter in Raylan’s life was about Raylan and Boyd … that we could only take it so far, that was basically it. We didn’t want to outstay our welcome.”

Timothy Olyphant, who’d previously experienced a frustrating lack of closure as Sheriff Seth Bullock on David Milch’s HBO Western “Deadwood” (which eventually received a film sendoff in 2019), was pleased with the wrap-up to “Justified.” “Usually when things end, I’m not the first person to find out,” he said. “It’s been wonderful to just be able to see the finish line and enjoy it.”

Yost added that a major part of his decision hinged on not wanting to burden “Justified” with retread episodes. As he told the TCA audience:

“[Executive Producer] Fred Golan and I have been talking about how to end the thing probably since season 3 and it changes every year. We didn’t want this to be the greatest hits, but that said, there are characters who come in because they’re part of that world. It doesn’t feel to us like we’re just checking that box.”
