Two and a Half Men will end after its 12th series, producers have confirmed.
"[Producer] Chuck Lorre is creating a season-long event. Chuck is very psyched about this, he's got some great ideas and very big surprises," said CBS entertainment executive Nina Tassler.
She didn't know whether bringing Charlie Sheen's character back from the dead would be one of the shocks in store, she added.
The US television network confirmed the last episode will air in 2015.
Two and a Half Men has seen a number of real-life controversies since it began in 2003. As producers announce it is ending, we take a look back at some of the most talked-about moments.
Charlie Sheen sacked
After months of media reports about his personal life, Warner Bros terminated the actor's contract after "careful consideration" in March 2011.
Production on the show stopped in February after Sheen insulted Lorre in several interviews.
In previous weeks, Sheen had given a number of angry, rambling interviews. He insisted he was drug-free after undergoing rehabilitation earlier in the year.
He had a contract for $2m (£1.2m) per episode but before his sacking had said he was being paid too little and demanded $3m (£1.8m).
A court had ordered Sheen to rehab in 2010 after he pleaded guilty to assaulting his wife at the time, Brooke Mueller Sheen.
Ashton Kutcher cast
Ashton Kutcher, known for his previous roles on That 70s Show and the prank show Punk'd, was announced as Sheen's replacement in May 2011.
"I can't replace Charlie Sheen but I'm going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people," Kutcher said at the time.
He would later go on to be the highest paid actor on US TV, earning $24m (14.8m) in 2012 according to the Forbes rich list.
Charlie Sheen's record exit
The first episode of series nine was watched by 28.7m people in the US when it was aired in September 2011, giving the show its highest ratings since it began.
It saw Sheen's character, Charlie Harper, being killed off, after his real-life sacking from the programme.
Old girlfriends turned up at his funeral before it was revealed he had been killed by a Paris Metro train. The episode also saw the arrival of Ashton Kutcher's character.
'It's bad news'
Angus T Jones, the child star of the show, stepped back from Two and a Half Men after describing it as "filth" and urging viewers not to watch it.
In a video posted online by a Christian group in November, the actor said the programme's raunchy humour conflicted with his religious studies.
Jones, who reportedly made $350,000 (£218,000) an episode, later apologised and appeared in a number of episodes in 2013, before eventually quitting
