It's a somewhat of an abrupt end for Hart of Dixie, as the show has officially been canceled after airing for four seasons on the CW.
No official announcement was made saying that the show's fourth season would be its last, but it certainly looked as though the cast and crew of Hart of Dixie knew their fate even before it was announced.
Season four of the show officially had a 13 episode run, but interestingly, the season's last episode certainly took on the feel of more than just a season finale, and started treading into the territory of being an honest-to-goodness series finale, according to Deadline.
It also seems as though fans were at least aware there was something more to the season four finale than what was being announced, as the show's final episode drew in 1.37 million viewers.
The Southern medical drama starring Rachel Bilson and Wilson Bethel ended with a storybook wedding involving the show's main protagonist, according to TV Fanatic.
It also seemed as though the season four finale was wrapping up a lot of loose ends for the show, and considering that it ultimately became the show's last episode, it was a fitting one to leave on.
Hart of Dixie rarely performed exceptionally in terms of drawing in a large TV audience, but the show still did well on Hulu, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Hart of Dixie's good numbers on Hulu could've provided enough reason to renew the show given its ability to draw in viewers particularly from the 18-34 demographic, but the network ultimately chose to go in a different direction.
The show stands out for being canceled at this time, with the CW choosing to renew 9 different series for 2015-2016.
Only one other CW series got the axe together with Hart of Dixie, as The Messengers was canceled after one season.
