He's leaving after season 5, which airs this summer. It hasn't been renewed for a 6th season yet.

It might be time to shut it down. The show has been hit or miss and has never recaptured what it was in the first season. 5 seasons is a good run and they can give it a meaningful end before it completely loses its appeal. But of course TB is a big hit for HBO so I'm sure theyll run it into the ground like they did with Entourage.

I'm expecting a renewal/new show-runner announcement shortly after season 5 begins.
