The show’s next season will officially be its last, _Entertainment Weekly_ [reports](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/21/mythbusters-ending-interview). This may feel like a huge surpise, but stars Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman knew the end was coming. Thus, they’ve had time to prepare some top-notch final episodes. “It was my greatest fear that _Mythbusters_ would just stop and we wouldn’t be able to do proper final episodes,” Savage tells _EW_. “So whether it’s myths about human behavior or car stories or explosion stories, we tried to find the most awesome example of each category and build on our past history.” Next up for Savage and Hyneman? They’re executive producing a scripted show at CBS but can’t reveal any details yet. Though they’ve had a great working partnership on _Mythbusters_, they’ve never been friends off-screen. According to Hyneman, they probably won’t continue an on-screen relationship.
