"Royal Pains" will reportedly get cancelled after season 8. Several reports claim that the Mark Feuerstein-led episode will no longer be renewed by USA network after its two season eight episode order.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, "Royal Pains" show producers Michael Rauch and Andrew Lenchewski revealed that they were not confident that the series will get renewed after season 8. Late last year, when the series was picked up for season 7, the producers felt that the medical drama will soon get the axe. With this in mind, Rauch and Lenchewski decided that they will use the remaining episodes to give fans an ending they deserve,

"The thought of not being able to end a show that we love and characters whom we love so much with the proper ending would have been heartbreaking," Rauch said. "We want to seize this opportunity and make assumptions that the end of season eight will be the end of the series so that we can plan accordingly."

Although it has yet to be confirmed on whether "Royal Pains" will be cancelled or not, the producers felt that it was time to plan for the season finale.

"USA has not said this is the end, and they haven't said this isn't the end. It probably makes sense for them not to announce it at least yet, but no show on USA has run longer than eight seasons and we don't expect this too. Of course we always keep hope alive," Rauch said.

"But the feeling that we have gotten is that it would make sense to plan for these two to be the end of the show. We feel creatively and emotionally that it's better to do that, and if there's some wonderful surprise coming around the corner, fantastic - we can always adjust. We feel so lucky to have the opportunity to choose how we finish these stories that we really want to do it as best we can," he added.
