'Two and a Half Men' is to end after its 12th season.
The hit sitcom starring Ashton Kutcher and Jon Cryer - which also starred Charlie Sheen until he was infamously fired from the show in 2011 - will conclude in 2015, US TV network CBS has confirmed.
CBS boss Nina Tassler has promised the final season, which will begin broadcasting in the US in September, will be a "season-long event" much like the last season of 'How I Met Your Mother', which focused on the events of one weekend in its final episodes.
Speaking at the network's upfront presentation today (14.05.14), Nina said: "[Show creator] Chuck Lorre is creating a season-long event. Chuck is very psyched about this, he's got some great ideas and very big surprises. We know fans and audiences respond to that and that should really give us a nice boost when we launch our new comedy."
Leading man Charlie was axed from 'Two and a Half Men' in 2011 following his erratic behaviour, such as slamming the show's creator in various interviews. The actor reported to a rehabilitation facility for alleged drug and alcohol abuse, but his controversial private life soon eclipsed the show.
At the time, the 48-year-old star was the highest paid actor on television, earning $1.8 million an episode.
Ashton, 36, replaced Charlie going into the show's ninth season and commands $700,000 per episode, while Jon, 49, earns $620,000.

Neil Innes was surprised by how many fans The Rutles have in America.
The Monty Python music man has reformed The Beatles parody group, which was originally formed as a spoof by Neil and comedian Eric Idle, and admits he was shocked by how popular the group is overseas during a recent visit.
He told BANG Showbiz: "They don't hold back [in America], what I didn't know, from all the years, from first doing The Rutles, I spent all the whole weekend [on a recent trip] signing Rutles albums.
"I had no idea that so many Beatles fans were also fans of The Rutles."
The band, often referred to as the Pre-Fab Four, were originally formed for a sketch in Eric's 'Rutland Weekend Television' show.
They later went on to star in the film 'All You Need Is Cash', which features a cameo from George Harrison, and had a number of successful albums.
Neil, 69, is also pleased Oasis are fan of the band after they lifted a melody from their song, How Sweet to Be an Idiot', for their song 'Whatever'.
Neil said: "I enjoy a certain amount of peer support [and] I think The Rutles has got to be in the top ten of tour bus films, because everyone has been there.
"There was a camaraderie, everyone knows what it's like to be in a band. The Rutles, now, are very good virtuoso musicians, craftsman, who know their stuff and have a sense of humour."
Neil has revealed that his alter-ego Ron Nasty and drummer John Halsey, known Barrington Womble, will be the only original members of the group taking part in 19 shows.
They will kick off the tour at Exeter Phoenix on May 7 and finish at the Liverpool O2 Academy 2 on May 31.

Bob Dylan is working on a new album.
The 72-year-old singer has treated fans on his website bobdylan.com by posting a cover of Frank Sinatra's 'Full Moon & Empty Hearts', which will reportedly be featured on his 36th studio album.
A spokesperson for the singer told Rolling Stone magazine: "This track is definitely from a forthcoming album due later on this year", which will be the follow-up to 'Tempest', which was released in 2012.
The song was written by Ted Mossmann and Buddy Kaye and was based around Sergei Rachmaninoff's 1901 composition 'Piano Concert No. 2 in C Minor'.
However, Sinatra made the song famous and Dylan's version can now be streamed on his site.
The 'Blowin' in the Wind' hitmaker also posted a photograph of himself in what appears to be a vintage album cover entitled 'Shadows In The Night', referencing Sinatra's song 'Strangers in the Night'.
Meanwhile, Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford of Mumford & Sons and Jim James of My Morning Jacket are working with producer T Bone Burnett on a record based on long-lost lyrics written by Dylan.
The stars have been recording at Los Angeles' Capitol Studios to work on more than 20 unfinished songs for the record, 'Lost On The River: The New Basement Tapes', which will be released later this year, alongside a documentary, directed by Sam Jones.
The lyrics come from Dylan's famous 1967 'Basement Tapes' sessions.

The Black Keys have slammed Michael Jackson's posthumous album 'Xscape', calling it "bullsh*t".
The 'Fever' hitmakers, who released their new album 'Turn Blue' on Monday (12.05.14), the same day Michael's record came out, aren't impressed by the decision to release the album after his death in 2009.
In the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine, drummer Patrick Carney said: "[It's] some f**king bulls**t that sucks so bad that it took them three years after he died to make it listenable.
"Like he had to be dead for three years for it to be released."
Patrick hit out at executive producer LA Reid, claiming he only decided to release the album, which was also worked on by Timbaland and Justin Timberlake, because he "needed a new boat".
Meanwhile, Patrick also voiced his opinion on pop star Justin Bieber earlier this week, describing him as an "irresponsible a**hole after a throw away comment to TMZ resulted in Justin telling his fans on Twitter the musician should be "slapped around".
He said: "Justin Bieber, like a f***ing irresponsible a**hole, sicced 40 million Twitter followers on me because I paid him a compliment he didn't understand.
"He shouldn't be f***ing telling his followers to slap me, and then also be doing anti-bullying bullsh*t. It's so irresponsible.
"Honestly, I feel bad for him. Every single person who works with him should f***ing be embarrassed that they don't. . . No one is doing him any favours, you know?
"And honestly, I don't dislike his music. I don't listen to his music, but he needs to not conduct himself that way. Like, really, you make millions of dollars playing music, you should feel f***ing lucky."

Oscar Isaac hosts 'Star Wars' parties.
The 35-year-old actor was confirmed for the cast of 'Star Wars: Episode VII' last month and he's confessed he can't wait to get started with filming, as he and his family have always been massive fans of the sci-fi movies.
Speaking at a press conference for his new film 'The Two Faces of January' at London's Corinthia Hotel, he told BANG Showbiz: "It's incredibly exciting because I grew up with a family of huge, huge fans.
"My uncle and cousin collect the toys and we'd have Star Wars parties."
The 'Inside Llewyn Davis' star - whose character in the next instalment of the franchise has yet to be revealed - admitted his family couldn't believe it when he announced he'd been offered a role alongside returning cast members Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill.
He added: "So when I told them, they had the biggest nerd-gasm. There was literally nothing I could have possibly said, or will ever say, that can top that."
Harrison Ford will revisit his role as Han Solo while Mark Hamill will return as Luke Skywalker.
'Star Wars: Episode VII' is set for release in late 2015 while 'The Two Faces of January' will be in cinemas across the United Kingdom on May 16.

Kirsten Dunst insists she could've handled working with Alfred Hitchcock.
The 32-year-old actress has been referred to as a "classic Hitchcock blonde" a number of times throughout her career, and although the legendary director of 'Psycho' and 'Rear Window' is known to have had a "creepy" infatuation with his leading ladies, she thinks she would've been able to hold her own on one of his film sets.
Speaking at a press conference for her new film 'The Two Faces of January' at London's Corinthia Hotel, she told BANG Showbiz: "I heard he was a real piece of work, to his women obviously, but I've worked with some real pieces of work in my time and I think I could handle Hitchcock."
The 'Melancholia' star plays the female lead Colette MacFarland in the film adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel, alongside Viggo Mortensen as her wealthy older husband Chester MacFarland.
And although she claims the film definitely has a "Hitchcockian feel to it", she has defended her character's apparent naivety towards her husband's crimes.
She said: "I don't think Colette's innocent. I don't think he [Chester] would be with too innocent of a woman. I think she knows what he does, but she doesn't need to know all of it. I don't think it's innocent, I think it's just turning a blind eye.
"That's something that I think in the '50s was OK and acceptable, 'I don't know what feelings you're having but it's none of my business.'"

Kelly Osbourne is proud of her father for overcoming his addiction issues.
The 29-year-old star struggled to fight back tears when Ozzy Osbourne - who briefly relapsed in 2012 after seven years sober - was presented with the Stevie Ray Vaughan award during the MusiCares MAP Fund benefit concert on Monday night (12.05.14).
The Black Sabbath frontman and reformed drug addict was being honoured for his contribution to the charity and his efforts helping others fight substance abuse, something Kelly has also dealt with in the past.
She wrote in a moving tribute on her website: "Whoever would have guessed that my father would win an award for sobriety? As his daughter who has faced similar struggles, I could not be more proud of the man that my father is today.
"My father was honored with the Stevie Ray Vaughan award (in all honestly I was so proud I had to fight back the tears). I am so grateful to all of my father's friends and colleagues who came to celebrate such an incredible milestone in his life."
The 'Fashion Police' co-host went on to thank heavy metal rockers Metallica for paying tribute to her legendary dad with a rendition of his own track, 'Diary of a Mad Man'.
She enthused: "I want to thank Metallica for not only taking the time out of their ridiculously busy lives to be there to support my father but seeing them play an acoustic set of some of my father's favorite songs including their own rendition of 'Diary of a Mad Man' was one of the most amazing tributes to my father I have ever seen.
"Thank you to all who were involved for such a successful night and great cause."

Jessica Simpson is getting married around Independence Day.
The 33-year-old singer-and-actress and footballer fiance Eric Johnson - who have children Maxwell, two, and Ace, 10 months, together - will tie the knot over the July 4 weekend in Santa Barbara, California.
And the blonde beauty - who was previously married to Nick Lachey for three years until 2005 - is not planning to walk down the aisle in a traditional white gown.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Jessica is having something unique made. It will be very different from the Vera Wang she wore to wed Nick Lachey."
Jessica - who got engaged to Eric, 34, in November 2010 after five months of dating - recently admitted her plans have been progressing and she is "very close" to issuing invitations for her nuptials.
She said: "We are very close to sending out our invites. I've been very picky on how I want everything to look and feel. Eric's family alone is almost 90 people, so it'll definitely be a big event."
Jessica hasn't released new material since her 'Happy Christmas' album in 2010, so she wants to start focusing on her career again after the wedding.
She recently explained: "We're building a studio in our house. I bought a house from Ozzy Osbourne, so a lot of the studio was already set up. I want to see what comes out. It's time for me to find that out, and I can't wait for my kids to experience that with me. Even Eric. He's never seen me perform onstage."

Rihanna has donated $25,000 to the Los Angeles Police Foundation.
The 'Diamonds' hitmaker made the kind gesture after accidentally breaking LA Police Commission President Steve Soboroff's mobile phone when he asked her for a selfie at the Los Angeles Clippers basketball game against Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday (09.05.14).
The pop star dropped his phone as she tried to take the photo, cracking the screen, prompting her to later tweet: "Sorry I broke your phone @SteveSoboroff 🙂 (sic)"
And Steve later revealed the guilty star had made a donation to help police cadets from underprivileged backgrounds and bereaved families of officers killed in the line of duty.
He tweeted: "BIG @rihanna news: she's donating $25,000 to @LAPoliceFdtn for cadets & families of fallen officers.(sic)"
The pair have since met again at another basketball game, and Steve asked Rihanna to sign his damaged phone.
She complied with his request, writing "Sorry! I ♥ LAPD. Rihanna."
The phone is now up for sale on eBay to raise money for the police foundation, and bidding has reached a staggering $10,000.
The auction ends tomorrow (15.05.14).

Jay Z is no longer seeking extortion charges over his old recordings.
Producer Chauncey Magan was detained last month after the '99 Problems' hitmaker's label Roc Nation accused him of stealing master tapes in 2002 and demanding $110,000 for their return, but as the rapper doesn't want to pursue charges, Los Angeles police are no longer investigating the case.
However, according to TMZ, LAPD officers will hold on to the recordings until a civil judge tells them otherwise.
Mahan - who was interning at Roc Nation when the recordings were made - previously claimed he had been asked by the record label to keep track of the music because the 44-year-old star was just "a stupid kid smoking blunts" at the time, and was reckless with his intellectual property.
The producer also insisted he repeatedly told Roc Nation he had the masters - which include 'I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)' and 'Holla' - over the last decade and only requested the money when he could no longer afford to pay the storage fee.
He claims he only asked for the cash as compensation for keeping the recordings for 12 years in Northridge, California.
Roc Nation sent an employee to meet Chauncey at the storage locker, paying him $2,500 to open it, and were able to verify that the never-before-heard tunes were indeed Jay Z's.
The so-called culprit also added that some of the masters sound "awful".

Beyonce has hinted she is standing by her sister following her attack on Jay Z.
The 'Drunk in Love' hitmaker shared no less than four snaps of herself and Solange Knowles, 29, in happier times in the space of half an hour on her Instagram account today (14.05.14).
This comes just 24 hours after it was reported her younger sister - who was caught on video attacking Beyonce's husband in an elevator at the Met Gala afterparty - had deleted all pictures of herself and Beyonce, bar one, from her own space on the social media website.
Among the reflective snaps, the singers are seen hugging onstage just last month at Coachella festival, when Beyonce surprised the crowd by joining Solange on stage during her performance.
The other pictures include the sisters smiling for the camera in a shot that appears to be from several years ago, and in another, Beyonce grins as she rests her head on her sibling's shoulder.
Footage emerged earlier this week of Solange throwing kicks and punches at Jay, 44, in an elevator at the Standard Hotel in New York after attending a Met Gala after party on May 5. Beyonce, 32, is also present but remains passive throughout the altercation.
While all parties have remained silent on the incident, the singer's spree of pictures suggests she is eager to put the drama behind her and supports her sister.
The 'XO' crooner didn't caption her pictures but they have certainly sent tongues wagging, with fans offering their own opinions about her intentions for posting them.
One commented: "Families have problems but you're family so you keep it moving...love the fact that they don't need to say anything lol (sic)"
Another person wrote: "Her sister delete all her photos with B and now B put the pictures back ! Only one reason: B wants to make up! (sic)"
On Sunday (11.05.14), Beyonce also posted pictures of her and her husband - with whom she has two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy - smiling and enjoying themselves at a basketball game.

Cara Delevingne kept a low profile as she returned to her London home following her appearance at Prince William's charity dinner at Windsor Castle.
