Last week, we reported that Person of Interest executive producer J.J. Abrams said the series will likely be cancelled after its upcoming fifth season. Now, CBS has stated that the decision to cancel or renew will not be made before season five premieres in the spring.
Person of Interest was renewed for a 13-episode fifth season back in May.
Speaking at the TCA winter press tour, CBS executive Glenn Geller said the creators of Person of Interest “have planned a terrific season,” and the network “hope[s] to get it on this spring.”
While CBS is keeping silent about plans for the series, Abrams said the creative team is planning the upcoming season as if it were its last:
“My guess is [Season 5] is the final season. The only heartbreak there is how much good story there was to come if it were to have continued. … But, obviously, things can be adjusted if [there’s] a miraculous [ratings] performance. But I think the idea is that this would be the finale.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Person of Interest? Do you think the next season will be its last?
Get back to the original premise please, and possibly it will survive. It was so awesome the first 2 seasons.
Great show! Do not cancel.
Please keep showing….few shows left not full of smutt
This is a quality program. My husband and I would love to see it back on permanently. There is a lot more story to tell.
May I add my voice to the people who do not want POI cancelled. My husband and I love this very intelligent, creative show with wonderful actors. We are pleased to see another season on again, but gems like this show are hard to find. PLEASE keep it on.
Please DO NOT CANCEL! This is my favorite show! It’s creative and cool.

One of the best shows on TV; it would be a shame if it were cancelled.

Come on CBS, leave this really great cast of actors and story line on the air. There are so many horrible shows on, give us a show that entertains. My father-in-law, my husband, my two adult sons, and I love this show. There is quite an age span enjoying Person of Interest.
