The end of Stitchers, confirmed by TV Line, arrives a month after Freeform aired the last of its 10-episode Season 3 run on August 14. The series debuted in 2015 as a slick paradigmatic showcase of the new young-adult-aimed direction of the cable outlet – formerly ABC Family – in its branding transition to Freeform. The series clearly earned itself a small but loyal audience, with Season 3 numbers holding steadily with 365,000 viewers compared to Season 2’s 387,000 viewers. However, those numbers were never ideal nor financially viable for a stylistic, budget-heavy drama. Along with Ishta’s starring role as the embattled psychic, the series co-starred Kyle Harris as neuroscientist and love interest Cameron Goodkin, along with Ritesh Rajan, Salli Richardson-Whitfield and former Warehouse 13 tech geek Allison Scagliotti. When pressed to describe what he’d like to see out of a (no-longer-happening) Season 4, Harris states: Unfortunately, Stitchers fans will likely be left to forever lament its cliffhanger ending. While Kirsten’s memory was purportedly wiped in a stitch-related incident, the Season 3 finale (and by default, the series finale,) revealed that she had been lying about said amnesia. Moreover, the scene throws a sinister light onto its touted #Camsten ship, implying that Kirsten is secretly being forced to work in some manner against Cameron at the behest of a mysterious unseen figure.
