While fans await the highly anticipated fourth season of The CW's Hart of Dixie, reports circulate and suggest that recent patterns with the show might reveal it is coming to an end soon.

'Hart Of Dixie' Wraps Filming For Fourth Season, Rachel Bilson Totes Baby Bump On Set

For starters, even though taping for the new season is complete the show's starring cast has taken to their social media to send out what could be assumed as goodbye messages.

Wilson Bethel, who plays eye candy Wade Kinsella tweeted Oct. 6, "Thank you, Wade Kinsella, for the wonderful years. It's been a mighty pleasure knowing you. #picturewrap #HartofDixie".

Fans immediately hoped he was not implying the end of the series or that show runners discontinued his character.

One wrote, "why are you guys doing this to me?!!!" while another commented, "WHAT You're going?! but but but... nooooooo".

A third fan tweeted, "you are breaking my hart!!"

On top of that, it looks like Bethel found work for another show. Deadline reported Monday that he will star in eight of ten episodes of the new show Astronauts Wives Club. The series will tell the real-life stories of women whose husbands were instrumental in their astronaut husbands going into space.

The only thing is that his Kinsella character is a key one for Hart of Dixie. So even if the show will continue, the idea of Bethel leaving will certainly change the dynamic of the show. But good news is Wade might not have to say goodbye to Bluebell. He is filming Astronauts Wives Club while Hart of Dixie is on hiatus.

Aside from Bethel's cryptic tweet, the upcoming fourth season will be significantly shorter than the rest, as it will only have 10 episodes. Still, the President of The CW, Mark Pedowitz, made it clear that the shorter season does not indicate that the end is not in sight for the series.

"We're doing ten episodes this year and we're looking forward to see what happens," he said in a media conference back in July.
