Sadly, cliffhanger or not, it was indeed the last show. NBC canceled "The Mysteries of Laura" at the end of its second season.

There's a little good news for fans, though: The events that would have taken place in season 3 aren't a total mystery, thanks to the uncommon courtesy of series creator Jeff Rake. In an interview with Deadline.com, he described some of the major plot points that were going to take place in the season that could have been (spoilers for season 2 ahead).

As you know, the second season ended with Jake getting engaged to his girlfriend, despite Laura's efforts to stop him. At the start of the third season, his girlfriend would have called the engagement off, freeing Jake to reconcile with Laura. But first, Jake was going to open up to her about the affair that broke them up in the first place, which would have a direct bearing on an old case they worked together. That would trigger a series of flashback episodes and result in them reopening the case in the present day.

If only more writers of canceled shows would share that kind of info.

Clearly Rake was quite attached to the show, as was the rest of the cast and crew. He was among the many members who took to Twitter after the cancellation to thank fans and to do a little lamenting.

"My dear Diamonds," tweeted star Debra Messing (her character's name was Laura Diamond), "our story has ended but it was a joyous story to tell. We are so grateful to you for your love."
