I knew that From would end in season 5 about two weeks ago when it was announced. We always knew that five seasons was the goal, but you never know if you're going to be blessed with being able to finish and conclude your own story. We are very, very, very fortunate to be able to do so, because it's very common these days that you have amazing shows that are canceled after season 1. So we're really fortunate.
