What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the Showtime cable channel, Shameless stars William H. Macy, Jeremy Allen White, Ethan Cutkosky, Shanola Hampton, Steve Howey, Emma Kenney, Cameron Monaghan, Christian Isaiah, Noel Fisher and Kate Miner. The show follows alcoholic father Frank Gallagher (Macy) and his resilient, self-reliant kids who scramble to survive. The 11th season finds the Gallagher family and the South Side at a crossroads, with changes caused by the COVID pandemic, gentrification and aging to reconcile. As Frank confronts his own mortality and family ties in his alcoholic and drug-induced twilight years, Lip (White) struggles with the prospect of becoming the family’s new patriarch. Newlyweds Ian (Monaghan) and Mickey (Fisher) are figuring out the rules and responsibilities of being in a committed relationship while Deb (Kenney) embraces her individuality and single motherhood. Carl (Cutkosky) finds an unlikely new career in law enforcement and Kevin (Howey) and V (Hampton) struggle to decide whether a hard life on the South Side is worth fighting for.

Telly’s Take
We don’t need to wonder if Showtime will cancel or renew Shameless for season 12. The cable channel has already announced that season 11 is the end. Still, this may not be the end of the Gallagher clan. Could it be revived someday, ala the Dexter revival? Subscribe for free alerts on Shameless cancellation or renewal news.

I love shameless and was so sad by how they ended it.
Bring back a Carl spin off
Wow, such a great show but a terrible ending. Way too much unanswered questions. They need to at least make a spin-off or Season 12 ending with all questions answered. We wanna know how all the Gallagher’s ended up…Kev and V, too. Annnnnd we never got to find out what Fiona has been up to!
