“Justified” showrunner Graham Yost told the audience at the Television Critics Association winter press tour Tuesday that the key team behind the show decided to end the FX series before its stories became repetitive.

“A lot of it was just sort of figuring out how much story we had left,” Yost said. “Our biggest concern telling these stories is that we don’t run out of story and start repeating ourselves.”
