Person of Interest may have ended this week, but the CBS series’ executive producers recently told Deadline they’re open to a spin-off series.
The drama starred Jim Caviezel as a former CIA agent who partners with a billionaire (Michael Emerson) to prevent violent crimes in New York City. The cast also included Kevin Chapman, Sarah Shahi, and Amy Acker.
In the interview, EP Greg Plageman said the show could be revived with a different group of people:
Look, I think the premise that Jonah came up with in terms of an artificial intelligence that takes in all this information, processes it and gives, you might say, a predictive output in some regard is so strong that there’s no doubt that that could be revived in some sense. I don’t know if it would be with these characters. In Episode 11 this year we understood that the Machine had been providing information to another group of people. So could it be that this show is strong enough that it could come back in a different form? I would say never say never in a world where we’ve seen the X-Files and 24 and a number of really strong premises come back as well.”
Fellow EP Jonah Nolan agreed, saying he’d revisit the series in a heartbeat:
We had such a ball making this show that if there is an opportunity to revisit it, in a heartbeat I’d be there.”
