Telly’s Take
Will Showtime cancel or renew Shameless for season 11? Though this show’s been on for many years, it continues to be one of Showtime’s most popular series. Despite some cast changes, there’s been no talk of ending just yet so I suspect the series will be renewed. For now, I’ll keep an eye on the ratings and update this page with breaking developments.

What do you think? Do you hope the Shameless TV show will be renewed for an 11th season? How would you feel if Showtime cancelled this TV series, instead?
I wouldn’t call it cancelled just put out of its misery.
The Gallaghers are like family to me. I would like to see this run as long as the TV series Gunsmoke ran. The actors are magnificent! I would miss this show greatly if it were cancelled but I know every good thing must come to an end. If it is cancelled after season 11 (which I am looking forward to watching) I want to thank the cast & crew for a Job well done.
I love this crazy show. I don’t want it tti o end
I love shamless and all the actors. It should have new seasons every year. I would love to see what happens with every one after season ten. Please dont cancell season 11. I really hope u play season 11. Love u all
I love shameless! Please do not cancel!!!!
It is time to end the show. It was a great show but it’s run it’s coarse. Sad to see it go but what it has become is even sadder
SHAMELESS should never be cancelled. I love the show, I love Frank, I love Carl, Liam is a cool kid. The producers should be creative in releasing new episodes year after year.
Love SHAMELESS. The entire cast is great…miss Fiona and hoping she’ll make an occasional appearance but they are a solid group and look forward each week to what’s going to happen next.
