'''Basic Trope''': A season finale that feels like the GrandFinale, and may have been intended to be so.

* '''Exaggerated''': The season finale closes off every last plot thread and leaves no room for continuation, but the writers still find a way.
* '''Downplayed''': Despite the destruction of his empire, Evulz survives the last battle and escapes, leaving room for another season. He even gets a [[TheStinger Stinger]] where he kills Hiro's mentor as somewhat of a SequelHook.
* '''Justified''':
** The studio worried that the show's contract wouldn't get renewed, and wrote the season finale accordingly in case.
** The episode was supposed to be the final episode, but after outcry from fans, the show was UnCancelled.
* '''Inverted''': ''Troper Quest'' is cancelled early into the season with no warning, forcing the writers to leave several plot threads dangling.
* '''Subverted''': Word gets out about the show returning for a third season... But it's a false leak. The season finale really was the last episode.
* '''Double Subverted''': After witnessing how annoyed the fan base was when the leak was revealed to be fake, the network decides to renew the show anyway.
'''Parodied''': ''Troper Quest'' is a terrible show and was almost cancelled after 4 episodes, but the fanbase still wouldn't let the network take it off the air.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': FlipFlopOfGod continually cancels and un-cancels the show in between seasons, making it nearly impossible to tell what'll happen for the show.
* '''Averted''':
** The second season finale is the actual finale.
** The season finale is just as climactic as it needs to be without feeling like the end.
* '''Enforced''': This trope is enforced by definition, so see Justified.
* '''Lampshaded''': "''What do you mean, that wasn't the end''?!
