OK, it's not going away immediately, a la Smith or Kidnapped, but after the next two episodes, Traveler is gone for good, and this news comes from the creator himself.
Creator/producer Dave DiGilio has been keeping a blog over at TVGuide.com, and he reveals that the network has let the contracts of the actors on the show lapse and that the next two episodes of the show (the show returns July 11) mark the end of the series. And while it's not the final final decision on the show, when the creator of a show says it's true, that's definitely a sign. Though it's not like they didn't see it coming, after the show was put in as a summer replacement, the episodes cut, etc.
He also gives some cool behind-the-scenes scoop of epsiode "The Reunion."

This is an excellent show and deserves at the very least a proper ending. I hope this isn't the end though.

It's like the networks are trying to run off their viewers. I can't count how many shows I fell in love with right off the bat, that were then taken away...i'm just sooo tired of this shit.

I'm done watching new shows. I'll just wait until they finish a season and then rent the DVDs. I'm sick of getting into a show only to have it canceled. Screw you, network TV.

That's too bad, I was just starting to get into this show. I didn't honestly see how it could go more than 1 or 2 seasons, but thought it could last at least that long.

The show is just getting good. Its one of the few shows that you might actually want to tune in to see what happens next. I agree many good shows have recently come and gone. Some of the replacements have been pathetic!! I will look forward to the last show but I sure hope they bring it back!!!

At least they knew this was a possibility and wrote the series to account for it. I don't expect absoltuly everything to be wrapped up by the end, but I think they will give it a good ending.
I suppose the best way to look at it is as a one-off mini-series, makes the whole thing less painful.

Will Traveler is a great show with great humor and story. but sadly the 8th season will be its conclusion. we cannot allow this to happen, lets ask the people behind this show not to put an early conclusion. one way of making of voices be heard is by signing the petition at this link, help me out Will Traveler's fans!

It's so good, the characters are amazing, the story keeps you in suspense and it's so sad to hear that it will be canceled, I wish they give this show another chance, and ABC should rrealize a lot of people are looking forward to Traveler every week. Sign the pledge! Join the petition to renew Traveler! :D

this is crap. the show is awesome, unlike many of the other new shows. there is an interesting plot twist every show. it is starting to get better than lost. if these networks are going to start canceling shows a few weeks in, then i say we boycott so all the networks have no ratings!!!!!!!

BEWARE! If you start stories and don't finish them, people like me will stop watching your shows.
GOOD-BYE!
