'Industry' Season 2 Episode Guide: How Many Episodes in HBO's Series?
2019 may be bringing a lot of exciting TV premieres, but it’s also bringing too many heart-breaking finales.
Below are some of the biggest and most surprising series conclusions that are happening this year, from HBO losing its dramatic ace-in-the-hole in the same year as its comedic darling (Game of Thrones and Veep), to Netflix launching the final season of one of its first originals (Orange Is the New Black).
There are plenty of series conclusions that will make you sob into your remote; but as sad as these departures may be, let’s not focus on the bad! Look at this list as an opportunity to finally appreciate the televised gems you’ve been meaning to watch, but may have ignored for so many years. It’s a new year for television, and you deserve to fall in love with the best the medium has to offer, before these shows go away for good.
Game of Thrones
After almost a decade, winter is finally here. Season 8 of the fantasy drama premieres on April 14, which means we can expect this particular song of fire and ice to wrap up around May 19.

Veep
HBO isn’t just losing its heavy-hitting drama this year, it’s also losing the worst (and only) woman formerly in the White House with the final season of Veep. All we know about Season 7 is that it’s scheduled to premiere sometime in spring and will be seven episodes long.
Orange Is the New Black
Say goodbye to the ladies of Litchfield. After years of watching these inmates backstab and joke around, OITNB will be coming to an end this year with its seventh season. It will likely premiere in the summer.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Her story may end but she’s still unbreakable, dammit. The last season of this ever-optimistic comedy was split into two parts. Season 4’s first part premiered in May of 2018. On January 25, 2019, Netflix will air the final episodes of this Tina Fey creation.

Transparent
Amazon’s award-winning and groundbreaking dramedy will be saying goodbye. It’s unknown when Transparent Season 5 will be premiering, but since it’s been over a year since Season 4, hopefully we’ll get to say goodbye to the Pfeffermans sooner rather than later — even if Maura (Jeffrey Tambor) won’t be along for the ride.

Jane the Virgin
This one hurts. The CW’s ambitious and ever-sweet romantic drama will air its fifth and final season this year. Season 5 is set to begin on March 27, 2019.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
So long, farewell, to you and you and you! That’s what we’ll be singing later this year, because this show is a musical! Season 4 is 18 episodes long, and returned from its mid-season break on January 11. So far half those episodes have aired, so it should end sometime this spring.

iZombie
One of the CW’s craziest comic adaptations is officially dying this year. Season 5 is set to premiere on May 2, 2019.
You’re the Worst
FXX’s ode to the complexities of relationships and the joys of brunch is also peacing out. The fifth and final season premiered on January 9. You can expect it to end around late March, or early April.

Homeland
Showtime’s spy thriller is throwing away its disguises and giving up its gig. The eighth and final season of the drama will premiere in June.
The Affair
That’s right — Showtime is losing lying spies and sexy lying liars, all at once. The fifth and final season of the romantic thriller is set to premiere sometime in 2019.
Broad City
Our favorite New Yorkers are lighting up one more time before throwing in the towel. Season 5 premieres on January 24 on Comedy Central.
Mr. Robot
Rami Malek may have just won big for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury, but he’ll always be a misunderstood hacker in our hearts. Season 4 of USA’s trippy drama is set to premiere in 2019, and will be 12 episodes long.
Shadowhunters
Freeform’s supernatural drama had a solid run, but it’s time for this story to come to an end. The second half of Season 3 premieres on February 25.

Gotham
Fox’s ode to the best villains (and hero) in superhero lore may be concluding, but that doesn’t mean that the Penguin, Catwoman, or the much-teased Joker are through with Batman yet. The series’ fifth and final season premiered on January 3, and will be 12 episodes long.
The Big Bang Theory
It’s not just the king of prestige TV that’s stepping down this year. The ratings ruler is walking away, too. The second half of Season 12 of Chuck Lorre’s comedy premiered on January 3.
Where to stream The Big Bang Theory
Elementary
We don’t know much about the finale of this Sherlock Holmes’ thriller other than Season 7 will find the modern day Watson and Holmes solving their final mystery. Look for it to wrap up later this year.
