The Outpost‘s time at the CW is coming to an end, as the network opted not to renew the fantasy drama for a fifth season, Deadline has confirmed. The series’ final episode will air Thursday, October 7.

Created by Kynan Griffin and Jason Faller, The Outpost follows Talon (Jessica Green), the lone survivor of a race called the Blackbloods. In a lawless fortress on the edge of the civilized world, Talon must learn to master her supernatural powers and ally with a queen who has been in hiding to defend the world against a fanatical religious dictator. She travels with her best friend, Janzo (Desai-Barochia), to the fortress to track the killers of her family. Janzo is the logical and sensible voice during their journey and incredibly loyal to Talon. As the brewer and alchemist of the comrades, he is the closest thing the Outpost has to a scientist.
