Hart Of Dixie has now been canceled after four seasons following a series of statements from its cast and creator that foretold of its end months ago.

Still, The CW network announced on Thursday what many observers already expected - that the program has been axed and will not return for a fifth season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The co-stars, including Rachel Bilson and Scott Porter, are seen on their final filming day together in Twitter photo shared by Scott after the announcement.

What a run! The Hart Of Dixie cast shared a photo taken in November from their last time on set, which was shared as CW officially announced it canceled the series on Thursday

He wrote of the snap taken in November last year: 'From our last #HartOfDixie Day. To those pictures and to those not...I love you, fam! #WhatARun.'

Series creator Leila Gerstein also tweeted on Thursday: 'It's official. But I have to add a thank you to all our amazing, inspiring fans. You are the real BlueBell. xox'

The dramedy starred Rachel Bilson in the lead role as Zoe Hart, a doctor who moved from New York City to Blue Bell, Alabama.

It followed her as she lived and loved in the sleepy but charming small town, co-starring Jaime King, Scott Porter, Cress Williams, Wilson Bethel, Tim Matheson and Kaitlyn Black.

The series conclusion - which was promoted by the network as a 'season finale' - aired on March 27 with wedding bells ringing and a new birth.

The series creator was not subtle when she shared on Twitter in March that fans will find it 'tremendously satisfying,' adding that she 'would have gone 17 years' working on the show.

In another tweet on March 6 she wrote: 'The final three episodes of #HartofDixie begin tonight. Buckle up, I think you will enjoy the ride. Xo.'

It was seemingly undeniable in early April that the show was to end in its fourth season after Leila began retweeting campaigns to 'save' Hart Of Dixie from the chopping block and shared messages from supporters who expressed gratitude for the program.

Adding further confusion for fans, CW plugged the show's 'season finale' on Twitter on March 27, writing, 'BlueBell, you're 1 in a million! Thanks for watching the #HartofDixie season finale! #LongLiveTheHart.'

Back in November, Scott - who plays character George Tucker - posed with two co-stars and shared a photo from their last day shooting together.

His emotional caption revealed for many fans that the death knoll has rung.

'And that's a wrap on the #3Amigos. Love these dudes. Proud of these dudes. #TearsWereShed #RealMenCry #HartOfDixie' he wrote.

But more than a month after its last air date in March, there was still no change of Hart from the network on Thursday

Hart Of Dixie's cancellation comes after Rachel gave birth on October 29 to daughter Briar Rose with husband Hayden Christensen.

Her pregnancy was fit into the story line as Rachel's character Dr. Zoe Hart is expecting a child with her on-off boyfriend Wade Kinsella, played by Wilson Bethel.
