You are correct flock, this was supposed to be the final season but Chase has agreed to do one more season which will be 10 episodes.

Chase has said he will not do a movie and the reason that the final season is 10 episodes is that, those 10 episodes were gonna be the movie. They were gonna trim it down to 3 hours or so but with the freedom of a series they can spread it out and take more time.

Yup, that was the interview I read as well, word for word. I couldn't find it though when I looked again. Thanks Gonzo.

I still don't get why 10 episodes instead of 13. If you are gonna put forth that much effort, what's 3 more episodes?
Not that I'm complaining, 10 episodes is better than none without a doubt. Just as long as they don't leave any stories unfinished like they've been known to do in the past. Speaking of, I also remember reading in that interview that the whole Russian who got shot in the head story still won't be covered. Not that it was a main storyline or anything, but it still would be nice to know what the hell happened out in those woods.
