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?
It seems like some of the best shows are getting cancelled and replaced by less interesting or stupid entertainment. I completely enjoy person of interest and woul love to see it continue for many more seasons.
I love this show! Do not cancel!!!!!!
Don’t cancel the show it is one of the best shows I’ve seen in years. Big fan of all the characters and story.
Please do not cancel this show, my family and I loved it.
Please do NOT cancel this show! It is wonderful.
It is one of the greatest current world tv series. It is not so away from what the NSA is doing to the entire world. Please don’t cancel this show
Please don’t cancel this show !! Brilliant show with brilliant cast !!
Keep it going. This is the best TV series in many years! don’t make a mistake like canceling the original Star Trek after 3 seasons.
Persons of Interest. A brilliant series that should not be cancelled. It reminds me of the British series The Equliser! It has that rare quality of a team helping the good the bad and the ugly. Great characters stories and always interesting that draws you to watch! Please save still so much to tell. The Foureyed Poet.
Please do not cancel this show. Go back to Reese, Finch and others saving/helping people in need. Loved the redemption of Reese.
Great show!! Forget about Samaritan and just go back to the numbers. The cast is wonderful!!
Forget about Samaritan. Just do the number thing, it is a great story line.
Are they trying to make room for another reality show? Please don’t!!!!
This is a great show with a wonderful cast. They got too bogged down in Samaritan. Go back to what you do best. Give us Reese, Finch, Shaw, Root and Fusco helping people in trouble.
I have seen all 4 seasons and I like it. But, please kill the OLD English man and have the Samartin destroyed. I am from the old school and I like the good guys to win. Please don’t end it like the series “Haven”.
I hated that ending. I hope your writers are more creative than that series was.
