Eureka, which is currently Syfy's longest running scripted series, will be returning for its fifth and final season Monday, April 16 at 9:00 PM ET/PT.

The series revolves around a Pacific Northwest town which is not what it appears to be. The town is actually a secret community of geniuses conducting top-secret research for the government, always contending with the chaos of strange events, often caused by said research.

The show, created by Jaime Paglia and Andrew Cosby, stars Coli Ferguson as Sheriff Jack Carter, Salli Richardson-Whitfield as Allison Blake, Joe Morton as Henry Deacon, Erica Cerra as Jo Lupo, Neil Grayston as Douglas Fargo, and Niall Matter as Zane Donovan. The series also boasts great guest stars this year as well. Wil Wheaton, Felicia Day, and Ming Na will be returning.

The season will consist of 13 all-new episodes and will pick up where we last left off with the Astraeus and crew having vanished just before their planned launch to Titan.

Earlier in the week, Colin Ferguson and executive producer Jaime Paglia talked to the digital media about the upcoming season and what fans can expect.?
