CBS is no longer interested in Person of Interest. Deadline reports the series has been cancelled after five seasons.
Person of Interest stars Jim Caviezel as a former CIA agent who teams up with a billionaire genius (Michael Emerson) to prevent crime.
The cancellation isn’t new news. Though the series was renewed for a 13-episode fifth season last year, Person of Interest has been rumored to be coming to an end for awhile.
Ratings have declined for the series in recent years, and last season, the show took a dip when it moved nights. This winter, series producer J.J. Abrams even said the fifth season would probably be the show’s last.
From series creator Jonah Nolan and executive producer Greg Plageman, in a press statement:
We’re extremely excited to be able share this final season with the fans. We’re eternally grateful to our amazing cast and crew, as well as our partners at the studio and network. Most of all, we want to thank the show’s fans — the best fans in the world. This subversive little paranoia-inducing cyberpunk-thriller is for you and would not have been possible without your support. As life has come to imitate Person of Interest, it’s been our great privilege to work on the show for the past five seasons. We can’t wait for you to experience this thrilling and final chapter.”
The fifth and final season of Person of Interest premieres on May 3rd on CBS.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Person of Interest? Do you think it should’ve been cancelled or renewed for a sixth season?

It’s no wonder a major network like cbs is so bad they cancel the only good show they had shame on them which is why most people watch Netflix
Final Season really pack a punch loved it. The Machine coming back online does leave questionable return I hope….but it a different title perhaps ” The guardian ” ? I hope some other network can pick up the show for the 6th seasons.
A no-brainer.
I do not understand why this brilliant show has been cancelled.
Does not make any sense.
Brilliant show with such fabulous actors and actresses, and they cancel it.
If you change the time and days of a show, it is bound to affect the ratings,
hello!!
Very disappointed about this decision.
Please rethink.
Renew, one of the better shows on Television. Drop Big Bang instead.
WE love this show! Please bring it back!
We just found this series on NetFlix!
I think the show should berenewed
I really liked this show. I watch all the reruns on Thursday night. Please bring it back.
I think the show should be renewed for a sixth season
Person of interest was a very good program that touch on some major issues of our times. It is a sham that it have been cancelled.
CBS, what is the problem. You get rid of one of the best shows PoI with great actors, great writing, things that happen in today’s world. I hope a cable network picks it up and renews it for a few more seasons. Other shows have done it. Your losss C BS, and maybe something for a cable network’s future!!
Renew Person of Interest. It still has potential for one to two more seasons. Root the voice of the machine. Great work!!!! Keep it going, so many people like the show. Awesome writing and keeping the show fresh, with splashes of humor!! Renew, Renew!!!
So stupid to cancel this show!
One of the best shows on TV anshow all my friends watch it! We all love it! Why cancel a show that draws you into the plot each week and you truly care about the characters?
Baby move! I hope another network picks it up! Such a shame!
“Ratings have declined for the series in recent years, and last season, the show took a dip when it moved nights”
SO WHY DID THEY CHANGE NIGHTS ANYWAY? DUMB MOVE ON CBS’ PART, I STILL WATCHED IT, GOING TO MISS THEM 🙁
This is one of the few shows that points out the dangers of asi. The actors and actresses were perfect for this show. I highly recommend it being renewed for a sixth season.
I thought it should have been renewed. There are very few shows lieutenant. I am sick of reality TV. I enjoyed this show.
I like this show. I am keeping it in the Present tense…. Renew the shoe
