'Mythbusters' to End After Next Season
The "Mythbusters" will bust their final myths next season.
Entertainment Weekly reports that Discovery's long-running reality series will come to an end after 14 seasons. The stars, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, have planned an "explosive" final run of episodes.
"It was my greatest fear that Mythbusters would just stop and we wouldn't be able to do proper final episodes," Savage told EW. "So whether it's myths about human behavior or car stories or explosion stories, we tried to find the most awesome example of each category and build on our past history."
"Mythbusters" was a hit for Discovery in its early days, and received much critical acclaim, as well as seven Emmy nominations. It is credited with helping to make science accessible and interesting for a broad swath of people.
Savage and Hyneman, who famously do not get along, will tour the country for a last round of "Mythbusters Live" next month. That will likely be the last time they work together.
The final season of "Mythbusters" will premiere January 9. And the Science Channel will run a massive marathon of all 248 episodes starting Dec. 3.
