TV Characters Left Hanging in Season-Ending Jeopardy

Television shows love to give fans a shocking twist to obsess over while they go on their summer hiatus, and this television season was no different with more than one series choosing to leave one of more fan-favorite characters in jeopardy.

While some of our favorite shows ended with weddings, friendships lost and found and game-changing twists, others left some of its stars with dance of suffering a painful-offscreen death.

Scroll through to see the TV characters who were left in danger during this year’s season finale season.

During the season’s final moments, Martin Riggs (Clayne Crawford) is shot in the chest by his half brother Garrett while preparing to leave town. Given that Crawford was fired from the series, we suspect the shooting might end in death.
