Ballers to End After Season 5

It looks the clock has run out for Ballers.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who stars and executive produces the series, announced Thursday that Ballers' fifth season will also be the show's last. "Cheers to our FINAL SEASON of @HBO's BALLERS. My heart is full of gratitude to all of you for rockin' with us every season," Johnson wrote on Instagram. "You made us HBO's highest rated comedy for years and most importantly, you helped create and sustain a platform for other actors to have the OPPORTUNITY to work hard, grow and become household names. To me, the opportunity Ballers created for so many others, is the real gold of our show. I love you, I thank you and enjoy our final season of BALLERS. This SUNDAY on @HBO. @SevenBucksProd."

If you're bummed about the cancellation news, there is a silver lining to this rotten situation. According toThe Hollywood Reporter, the series producers knew far in advance that Season 5 would be the last, allowing them to craft an endgame for the series. That means there will be no sudden or unsatisfying ending for fans that have stuck with this show for five years.

Ballers Season 5 premieres Sunday, Aug. 25 at 10:30/9:30c on HBO.
