Hart of Dixie fans were more than satisfied with the emotional and optimistic season four finale that aired last month. But should fans be considering that finale the series finale?

While the hour did tie up every loose end when it came to all the show's central relationships, the fact that the CW still has yet to make an official ruling on the show's future has some fans hopeful that maybe, just maybe, there might be a season five down the line.

When E! News' Marc Malkin caught up with Hart of Dixie star Jaime King the premiere of the new documentary Dior and I, we asked the expecting star if there was any chance that the CW's southern charmer would come back for another season.

"It's a tricky situation because it really isn't about ratings for us," King says. "It's not like a ratings issue it was more of a timing issue. Rachel [Bilson] got pregnant and wanted to take a maternity leave. Every woman has a right to do that. I think that everything has an impact on the ways things are decided upon. It's very interesting because our fans are so devoted."

Even though shooting on season four wrapped a while ago, King still hasn't gotten out of that Bluebell mindset.

"It's really interesting, because when my son wakes up in the middle of the night, immediately I'm like, Oh! It's time for me to go to set!" King says with a laugh. "It makes me want to cry because I love this show so much. It's still a success. It's really whatever the universe has in store. Either way, it's been such a gift."

And whether Hart of Dixie gets another season or not, King will always treasure the fact they got a season four.

"We just premiered our season finale and it was amazing," King says. "It was our best season yet."
