Person of Interest will return to CBS at midseason, and there are hints that this could be the final season of the popular series. CBS only ordered 13 episodes for season five, and it is possible that the network could pick up the series for another year after those episodes, but the cast is prepared for it to be the end.
Michael Emerson told Collider in an interview shared back in September that “it feels like [the cast] is coming to the end of something.”
TV Line reported on the addition of Josh Close from Fargo as a recurring member of the cast for the series on Monday, and the report shared new comments made by Kevin Chapman about the season, and if it is the end – the series is going out with a big finish.
“I honestly can say that Season 5 is the best season we’ve ever had. The action, the performances, the subject matter…. Everything. They’ve really gone above and beyond.”

Love the show get rid of samariton and go back to the way it was.
Seriously? I love this show and have been waiting for the return but to hear that they may end it is terrible! That’s the nicest thing I can say about it. The show is different and always refreshing. I miss Shaw and Root is just hilarious to me. The man in the suit cannot go away or end! Please lets go for season 6, 7, etc. Keep it going!!!!!!!!
I completely agree! I would give up all of my other favorite shows to keep this one going! There is nothing else like it on tv. Do they think we only like reality tv?
My husband and I love Person of Interest. But I would like to see it get back to its roots which made this program so successful. When the episodes get so much into technology and far out plots, the characters seem to lose their identity. It’s like the writers feel they have to go way out. They don’t. Same thing happened to the wonderful show Fringe. It got so out of touch with the original purpose that it wasn’t a show we wanted to watch any more.
I would continue Person of Interest, depending on how the coming up season goes.
They should not put it against heavy competition.
Please keep it on and please bring back Shaw she good
I love this show! I just started watching on Netflix. My family is now hooked. We asked each other why didn’t we know about this show?
Please do not cancel! Bring it back!
I love it. Deffo want to see a season 6. Plz don’t cancel it like they (CW) did with star crossed!!!!! I watched every episode twice so far just starting season 4 now!!!!!
Person of Interest has always been cutting edge. I hope that CBS will renew it for as many seasons as the writing can reasonably stand……… Bill
PLEASE don’t let this be the last season of Person of Interest! It’s such a great show and all the characters personalities mesh so well. It would be a shame if CBS took off one of the best shows on TV
I loved this show until Root and the second machine were introduced. It went off the original story. Re-evaluate the script, then more people might watch again.
Person of Interest deserves to have a proper final season if CBS doesn’t have the guts to do so and their grueling prime time schedule continues to be the problem year after year after year.
Best cast on TV, even tho we lost Taraji to that “other” show. And bring back Shaw!!! Reese defines calm, cool & kickass. Finch’s passion to save mankind, one PERSON at a time. Fusco striving to be a good egg. And Root has proven her loyalty to the guys, albeit reluctantly for them to accept. Bear has his role, too. They all should be blessed with many more seasons…
Definitely my favorite show.!! It is different than most and I love the interplay between the main characters:deep feeling but not gushy. Wonderful actors. Especially John and Zoe.
Seeings how you reference one of the “BEST” shows of its type that’s ever been produced you have more than piqued my interest. IF this really is the final season then why not go out with a BANG, a BIG one … I’ll be here to be a part of it, I can hardly wait ! My opinion, thanks …
I definitely want a Season 6 of Person of Interest! I love this show! It’s edgy, with plenty of action, but it’s not your typical good guy vs bad guy show. The executive need to learn that not all audiences like the same thing. Keep it coming!
