Killjoys is a Canadian space adventure drama television series that aired on Space (now CTV Sci-Fi) in Canada. Primarily a science fiction series, Killjoys follows a trio of hard-living bounty hunters—Dutch (Hannah John-Kamen), Johnny (Aaron Ashmore), and D'avin (Luke Macfarlane).

The series ran for five seasons, ending in 2019. It was officially ordered to series on October 7, 2013, with a 10-episode pick-up.[1] In April 2014, it was announced that Syfy would co-produce the series, and the first season premiered June 19, 2015.[2][3] In September 2017, Syfy renewed the series for a fourth and a fifth season, each to consist of 10 episodes.[4] The fifth and final season premiered July 19, 2019, and concluded on September 20, 2019.[5]
