“People were saying “We’re not sure what’s going on,” or, “We think it’ll come back but we’re not sure.” So we were all starting to get worried. And then in the few days beforehand, it started to seem like a real possibility that we weren’t going to be brought back, but even still, we thought we would probably come back.”

Goor got a call on the day the announcement came out from the studio, then the network.
“They weren’t going to put it on the schedule, that they loved the show and they were very sorry, but that was the way it shook out.

Sadly, one of the main cast members will be leaving during the sixth season.
