There is not a shortage of television shows on each day of the week. There are many categories with which the shows fall and it seems that each new season brings a few more for each of them. Person of Interest is a science fiction crime drama and it premiered in 2011 on CBS. The show is produced by J.J. Abrams, Bryan Burk and Greg Plageman and it features Jim Caviezel as CIA agent, John Reese, who is supposed to be dead.
The crime drama category is filled with shows these days, but none of them have a CIA agent that is rumored to be dead. In a very Minority Report sort of way, there is a billionaire that is trying to figure out way to stop crimes before they start. Enter a very ellaborate surveillance system called, “The Machine” and you have a show with a great fan following. The first four seasons brought at least twenty-two episodes each, but Person of Interest Season 5 is expected to have just thirteen.
Having a little more than half of the episodes for season five, compared to the earlier seasons, has fans thinking this will be the last season of the show. That same assumption has been mentioned by a few of the online publications as well, but nothing has been confirmed at this time. Interviews over the last few months have given fans something to think about as Michael Emerson was quoted as saying the fans are going to be offered a “finale feeling” fifth season.
Emerson said that it seemed that by the end of each of the previous seasons, things were wrapped up in terms of story lines and things like that and that it always felt like that was going to be it. Even after being asked about the season finale’s, the executive producer mentioned that “this year will be no different” and that has fans talking. CBS has confirmed that fans will be able to start seeing Person of Interest Season 5 this spring. When asked about the fifth season being the last, CBS could not comment since it has not started yet.
Many other interviews have been posted online and if you are looking for information about the fifth season, it will only be a small Google search away. Another online source claimed that Person of Interest Season 5 will feel like the last and that fans will be “satisfied” at the end. Showrunners for Person of Interest said that fans can expect a “big, big surprise” this year. As with any show that is a fan favorite, a petition was started to make sure that the creators bring the show back for another season. The petition currently has 26,000 names on it.
