Hit HBO series 'The Descendants' to end with fourth season

The Emmy-winning drama series Descendants, which helped HBO regain its lead in screenings after Game of Thrones, is coming to an end. The creator and showrunner of the project, Jesse Armstrong, admitted in an interview with New Yorker that the new, fourth season will be the last for the patronized Warner Bros. Discovery TV network. “There is a premise in the title of The Heirs. I never thought the project would last forever. Its ending has always seemed to me a kind of gift. Since the second season, I've been trying to reason: is this the next or another after this, or another after this?

According to Jesse, in December 2021, before the development of the fourth season, he gathered the writers and said, “Look, I think it must be him (the last one). What do you think?". After that, the team began to play several options for the ending of "Heirs". "That's really always been my preference," Armstrong concluded.

At the same time, the HBO press service refused to comment on the interview of the showrunner of the project. The fourth season of Descendants returns to HBO on March 26th.
