The sad news about the end of the series was in 2019, when its fourth season was still airing. Several rumors surfaced that NBC would not expand production. The channel that owned the series stated that it had no plans to produce a fifth season and that the cancellation was practically official.
Reasons to take NBC’s hammer to the end blindspoTea It was simple: low ratings. In the United States, the number of series was dwindling with each episode. Actually, the fourth season was also canceled for almost the same reason.

That’s where producer Martin Gero came into the picture. Before the broadcaster’s official announcement, Gero went out of its way to make sure blind spot There was an end. Negotiations lasted several days, but eventually Gero was able to acquire NBC and Warner Bros. Produce more episodes.
However, the makers clarified that the final season will have only 13 episodes. Later, NBC shortened production even further, leaving the finale with only 11 episodes. Anyway, it was enough for the producers to reach a proper ending for both Jane and the other characters.
The series ended on time
If, on the one hand, the series could have ended prematurely, the renewal made Martin Gero realize that, blind spot Ended where it needed to end. Thus, for him, the end happened “at the right time”.
In an interview with EW, the producer said:

“The stakes got extremely high for the characters with each episode. So we took advantage of having fewer episodes to get to the story faster.”
“Sure, we’re at the point I envisioned. Basically, the plan was always five seasons. At least I knew that, getting here, we’d have these characters run away. This is the final season of the show. Everything is a celebration.”
In Brazil, all seasons of blind spot, are available from Netflix.
