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?
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!

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
Very disappointed about cancellation; my favorite series. hopeful that another network picks it up
Hey I’ve loved the show since the first episode aired and I’m sending this petition I’ve found to everyone I know help save Person of Interest! https://www.change.org/p/save-person-of-interest
Hate to see this show go. The final season is going out with a big bang. Loving this show even more now.
It shouldn’t have been cancelled; but watching the final season it’s going out with a bang. Loving this show even more now.
It should be moved to Hulu, Netflix or Amazon. Broadcast networks are too impatient and insensitive to loyal fans.
Maybe a cable network will renew it for a sixth and maybe seventh season!!!!! Other shows have done it
Ace show why cancel it I gave just got other people hooked on it grrr its always the good programs that they get rid of no wonder the tv is rubbish grrrr bring it back……..
I hate CBS for the kak stunt that they’re pulling! For crying out loud! How can you cancel this show? 13 Episodes only, really? I hope none of your future endeavours succeed. I’m very disappointed!
Why would you cancel the best show on tv?
This is not a reality show, it is a real show…
Maybe a tweet but NOT a cancellation
THIS IS ,BY FAR,ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON TV. I THINK IT WOULD BE A BIG MISTAKE TO END IT
How awful to b cancelling Person of Interest. This is why I no longer watch TV. They have nothing left to offer me, except the news, and that barely. Such an adept and intellectual show. No wonder my students claim they never watch TV either. They move nights, do nothIng to inform their audiences, then wonder where they went. I didn’t even know POI had returned early this month. News Flash, CBS, the kids watch YouTube & streams. The adults relax with a bit of TV, here and there still. But I’m tired of cancelled TV shows. I wil go… Read more »
