Season finale - online puzzles

A season finale (British English: last in the season ; Australian English: season final) is the final episode of a season of a television program. This is often the final episode to be produced for a few months or longer, and, as such, will try to attract viewers to continue watching when the series begins again.

A season finale may contain a cliffhanger ending to be resolved in the next season. Alternatively, a season finale could bring storylines to a close, "going out on a high" and similarly maintaining interest in the series ' eventual return.

In the 2000s, the terms "mid- season finale", "fall finale" and " winter finale" began being used by some cable and broadcast networks in the United States, to denote the last episode in the first half of a split television season, ahead of a break in the broadcast schedule in order to make room for a mid- season replacement series, or to simply demarcate the interregnum between November sweeps and the end of the Christmas / Hanukkah / New Year holiday period, when most regular programming is in hiatus.
