Brad Wright created Travelers, which ran for three seasons on Netflix.
One of the best science fiction dramas on TV today won’t be back for a fourth season. Netflix has cancelled Travelers, the show created by Stargate SG-1 co-creator Brad Wright.
Series star Eric McCormack broke the news on Twitter this morning, alluding (no spoilers) to the events of the final episode.
“A lot of you have been asking about the possibility of a Season Four,” McCormack said, “but many of you have been saying, ‘Look, if this is it, what a moving and surprising and profound ending it is.’ Well, I’m afraid it is.
“Who knows what the future holds. But ‘Travelers Program 1,’ as we call it, is complete.
“On behalf of our creator, Brad Wright, of my fellow producers and directors, designers, our writers, our amazing crew in Vancouver, and all of the cast — who I love more than they know — I want to say thank you.”

Brad Wright chimed in with his own thanks and farewell: “Thanks to the greatest cast, crew, directors, writers, artists and producing partners a guy could ask for,” he wrote on Twitter. “Love to you all. And to @Netflix for stepping up so we could make Season 3!”
And here’s MacKenzie Porter, who played Marcy:
Jennifer Spence (SGU‘s Lisa Park) played Grace:
And Patrick Gilmore (Dale Volker on Stargate Universe), who played David:
Travelers ran for two seasons as a co-production of Showcase in Canada and Netflix worldwide. For its third season the Canadian premium cable outlet exited the partnership, making Travelers a Netflix original.
The show starred McCormack as the leader of a team from the future, whose conscious minds are sent back to the present — into the bodies of people about to die — in order to avert a series of catastrophes and avert an apocalyptic future.
MacKenzie Porter co-starred alongside Nesta Cooper, Jared Abrahamson, Reilly Dolman, and Patrick Gilmore.
Gilmore followed Wright to Travelers from Stargate Universe. Travelers also saw Stargate favorites like Jennifer Spence, Amanda Tapping (“Samantha Carter”), Teryl Rothery (“Janet Fraiser”), and Tom McBeath (“Harry Maybourne”) in recurring roles.
All episodes of the show will continue to be available on Netflix.

Does Season 3 give fans closure?
I only recently started watching. I'd like to second Jacob's question about whether or not it ends with closure.
It ends in a unique way that gives closure while still giving a huge hook if season 4 had happened. The story for everyone is wrapped up.
Jacob/Austin - It was left with an opening for a season 4, but did have a proper ending
end of Program 1. SO Program 2 starts???
I believe s3 gives us closure. We always want more but the ending serves us well for once compared to other series that got cancelled (*cough* Stargate: Universe* for example)
Yes. It gives closure. It gives you a punch in the heart, but there's plenty of closure.
Wow, that's sad. Loved the show, wish it could last 10 seasons minimum.
Why don't they advertise these shows? Never heard of this, but want to watch it...Maybe if they advertised better they'd have had even more viewers.
So damn sad. Stargate was one of the best series ever. Travelers was a breath of fresh air. How do so many crap shows get renewed time and again and quality gets the can? So disappointed. But await Brad Wright’s next project with bated breath
