In the past, Shameless has started a new season having already been renewed for the next season. That’s not the case this time around and the Showtime TV show has been on the air for many years. Will there be an eighth season? Will it be be cancelled instead? Stay tuned.
Shameless continues to tell the story of alcoholic father Frank Gallagher (William H. Macy) and his six smart and independent kids who are working to survive without him. The rest of the cast includes Emmy Rossum, Jeremy Allen White, Cameron Monaghan, Emma Kenney, Ethan Cutkosky, Shanola Hampton, Steve Howey, Justin Chatwin, Joan Cusack, Noel Fisher, Emma Greenwell, Dermot Mulroney, and Isidora Goreshter.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

For comparisons: The sixth season of Shameless averaged a 0.64 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.56 million viewers.
What do you think? Do you like the Shameless TV show? Do you think it should be renewed for an eighth season or cancelled instead?
RENEW!!!! Do you know how rare it is to be able to watch an eccentric/entertaining family live their very realistic lives and actually have the privilege to be able to watch these children grow up and mature in front of our eyes??? This series has allowed everyday folks and families to feel like they’re not alone, and there’s no such thing as a “Normal” family. I think the #1 take away from the whole show is this;
Never give up…and Never lose hope.
Never cancel this show…..EEVVEERRRRR
Loved the season and definently want to keep watching it do not cancel
Renew renew renew. What is the problem. This is quality acting, writing, story line and originality.
You can’t cancel this show its the best/greatest show I’ve seen in a long time. The story line and actors are amazing. You have so much to work and the story could honestly go on forever. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL!!!
I pay for the showtime app Only to watch Shameless I can’t wait for season 8…. please never cancel the Best Show Ever
The cast and story line are so intriguing that I can’t miss an episode….Ever..Please renew for as long as you can write
more i love it
I think it should definitely be renewed for season 8. By far one of the best series around.
I think it should definitely be renewed , best show ever
I absolutely love Shameless! I already can’t wait for the next season to start! Even though the last season has just ended. Im positive if the show continues for a couple more seasons, the ratings will remain good if not get better. I feel like within the past year or 2, more and more people have been watching it regularly. SO many ppl i talk to have brought up the show, and i simply say, I LOVE IT!.. Ive been watching it for years. N re-watch the past seasons all the time. I can’t wait to see when the 8th… Read more »
It’s nice it got renewed. There are still many things that can be explored in a show like this. Think how much different things happened with every character in seasons 1-7, still so many things that can be addressed. Think – how durable is Franks new liver, how Ian’s bipolar disorder evolves, characters that left like Jimmy and Mickey, All-new Carl, etc. So if writers won’t mess it up and make it boring, I could see season 9 coming (a nice number). If they don’t deplete their creativity, 10 or 12 is even nicer number 🙂
I love this show it is funny , emotional, and real. This is a story about many people and how they survive with addict parents, it all about survival. Please do not cancel this series just one more season for closure.
Please keep shameless!!! Im so addicted to this show!!!! I want more!!!!
I think they should definitely continue with at least 2 more seasons, I honestly love the show and its so addicting, PLEASE DO MORE SEASONS!!!:)
Keep shameless. Have watched everyone and we need more seasons .
