A bit of an unconventional way to find out but here go Take a look at @chlattman's Tweet: I don't think they already decided whether S4 will be the final season or not yet ! if they did they would announced back then that BATB got renewal for a fourth and a final season ! but they didn't ! instead they kept saying its too soon to make a decision now and that everything is possible ! we even asked Austin if it would be the final season and he denied knowing this ! so it won't make sense now to announce it to the guest stars before the fans and the main cast ! --- maybe he just meant he would be coming back for the final of BATB season ( season 4 - the current season they are working on ) --- but even if S4 would be our final we knew since we got it it could be a high possibility ! even more when we prayed for season3 to come true we knew it could be our last season but instead we got season 4 as a bonus without fighting for it --- and we agree then to enjoy both seasons and our beloved show as long as it lasts --- so let's enjoy it and don't let news like that take us down -- because first : they promise us with 2 wonderful seasons where all our dreams and hops come true , second : we still have more than a year till that point ! who knows what could happen in a whole year ? how things could change in that long time ? anything is possible - right ? just remember all that prediction of cancellation in the first season ! but yet here we are waiting for S3 to air and for S4 to start working on and worried for S5 !

@ruthjccassidy I'm sorry I'm not sure about that I should have said 4th and possibly final season. My mistake. --

So my take on Christian's so called mistake/mistweet is that he, like many of us, suspect that S4 could be the last. But he probably really doesn't know and isn't in a position to say regardless.
I still firmly believe that the fate of our show rests on how well S3 does this summer, how well S3 performs in the international market, and how well S4 sells based on the result of S3's performance or other business factors. It seems to be doing well on Netflix, not sure what other factors are out there. But having made the decision to renew S4, I just can't see an objective business reason for the CW or CBS Studios to cast a final decision on whether to extend the series beyond S4 before S3 even airs. If S3 does anything close to average for a CW show, I've got to think the network would like to push it towards syndication.

You could be right there is that but at the upfronts Mark said that if BATB performs better in the summer it may be brought back earlier next season. I wonder how all that fit into it possibly being the final season or maybe cw is leaving its options open. They could have easily announced the 4th season as the final if they had already decided.

But they didn't announce hod as the final season and it was. I don't think it makes sense to announce it now as s3 has not even aired.

With HOD I read an article that it was complicated. Rachel Bilson wanted to take time off to be a mum so there was the issue that it could return without the lead. The cast themselves were not sure and were giving conflicting statements. HOD in my opinion was doing okay on a Friday and if there were no other issues I think they could have got another short season. Some networks announce 2 seasons in a row and also announce if that will be the final season. I think that's what happened recently with pretty little liars. I think it was renewed for s6 & s7 and it was announced that they will be the final. Maybe it is just me trying to explain away that tweet because I don't want it to be true. Lol.

In the case of HOD the CW said they hadn't decided but most of the cast and crew felt it was. And it was. But the CW was also keeping their options open so it had a slim chance at renewal right up until the very end.
In the case of our show, I highly doubt that things would be cast in concrete before S3 airs. It's never over until the fat lady sings. And this guy is not the fat lady.

Christian Lattman's tweet!!!!!!!!!!boooooooooooooh That's weird that he explicitely wrote it, if it was not sure in his mind.....feel sad right now.... exactly right...to me he clearly knows something. anyway, to be fair how i am thinking at the moment is. we have got two seasons to go, 26 episodes in total. we will have had four seasons in total which is pretty awesome for any show and what is important to me is that we have a remaining brilliant two seasons rather than many saesons with little inspiration and way too repetitive storylines. i also want for both KK and Jay to get many opportuniteis to do other things too and i am sure they would also welcome the opportunity. so (and i am honestly saying this now) if this is our last season i am still a happy beastie and i am ok with that i never thought i d say that but this is how i feel. i will always obviously adore the show but everything comes to an end, and if it does end next summer, well it better go with a bang and be a super amazing 26 remaining episodes

Because this type of reaction from most beasties is the result. Even with his retraction below, it's created "fear, uncertainty and doubt", what we call FUD in my line of business. We can all believe what we want to believe. Do we want to believe his first tweet or his second? Is the cup half empty or half full? I'm a cup is half full kind of guy, so I'm not going to let FUD take away from my enjoyment of S3 or S4. Even though many thought S3 would be the last season, I put my money on S4 becoming a reality for objective reasons, and it happened. Objectively, it's too early to place any bets on S5 one way or the other. But that's also why I believe that even if Christian did hear something that leads him to believe S4 could be the final season, I still highly doubt TPTB would make any kind of hard final decision so soon before S3 even airs. Especially when they've renewed S4 and Mark P makes comments like S4 could start earlier than next summer if S3 does well.

We are darn lucky that we've gotten a season 3, let alone a 4th! I'm just going to be happy that I have 2 more seasons to look forward to. If there are more seasons after that, well than that's wonderful too!
