The cable channel has released this statement regarding the cancellation: “After painstaking consideration, we hade had to make the difficult business decision to not order a season six of Eureka 😉 But Eureka is not over yet 🙌 There is a new holiday episode this December and 12 stellar episodes set to debut next year, marking its fifth season and six memorable years on Syfy. The 2012 episodes are some of the best we’ve seen, and will bring this great series to a satisfying end. We are very grateful to Bruce Miller and Jaime Paglia, their team of incredible writers, and an amazing cast and crew who have consistently delivered a series we continue to be very proud of. We thank the fans for their support of this show and know they will enjoy its final season in 2012.”

As reported by the specialists from deadline.com, uPDATE WEDNESDAY PM: Syfy has settled on one extra episode of Eureka to wrap things up. That’s final. I hear Syfy executives called the cast today to apologize for the conflicting decisions over the past week, which included a six-episode final-season order, followed by no-final-season announcement and then the additional episode pickup. Word is the six-episode order was overruled by the new post-merger management as the series is getting expensive after 5 seasons and has enough episodes in the can (19). I hear most affected are some crew members who turned down job offers last week when Eureka was picked up for 6 more episodes only to see that order rescinded.
