The Discovery Channel's longest running series "MythBusters" will come to an end after 14 seasons on the air, Entertainment Weekly confirmed. The show will conclude after the upcoming season that is set to premiere in early 2016.
"After 248 episodes, 2950 experiments, 1050 myths, and 900 explosions, hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman will say goodbye to the series this winter," Discovery Channel said in a statement on Wednesday.
Savage and Hyneman, who both specialize in special effects, apply their scientific knowledge to test the validity of conventional wisdom, urban legends and pop culture moments, according to the Los Angeles Times.
"I never dreamed we would be on television at all, much less for such a long time and with so much praise for keeping a thought-provoking show on the air," Hyneman said, according to Us Weekly. "And best of all, we were able to do what we do and still have all our fingers and toes."
The show started in 2003 and earned six Emmy nominations over the course of its long run. The show has tackled everything from "Breaking Bad" to "Jaws" and hundreds of myths in between.
Before the final season starts on Jan. 9 on Discovery, its sister network the Science Channel will air every episode beginning on Dec. 23.
