'Big Love' bids adieu

HBO is saying so long to “Big Love.”

Polygamy drama starring Bill Paxton as a Utah husband with three wives will end its run following the fifth season that begins Jan. 16.

“It has been an honor and pleasure to work with series creators Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer on this unique and provocative series, and I’m happy that they will be able to bring the story to its close the way they always envisioned,” noted Michael Lombardo, president HBO Programming. “We look forward with great anticipation to collaborating with Mark and Will on their next venture.”
