End
On April 7, 2009 rumors began circulating that the show had been canceled. In January, Robert Greenblatt, Showtime’s entertainment president, was reportedly noncomittal when asked if Brotherhood would be back.
In an interview with E! online in mid-March 2009, actress Fionnula Flanagan said that the actors had yet to hear from the producers about the fourth season. Also, the Hollywood Reporter has reported that Jason Clarke had been cast in an unnamed pilot for CBS. Kevin Chapman, who plays Freddie, is now cast as Terrence Garrity, brother of the Sean character in the FX series Rescue Me. Television critics also pointed to the end of season three as potentially the end of the series, saying that the finale seemed to convey a sense of closure, wrapping up storylines.
On June 29, 2009, Showtime confirmed that the series would not be renewed, and that the third season DVD would be billed as "The Final Season."
American satellite television provider DirecTV rebroadcast the series beginning in February 2010.
