It has been more than four years since the conclusion of Person Of Interest, but its fans are still waiting for the release of Person Of Interest Season 6. Unfortunately, CBS had pulled off the plug from this series after its fifth season. But that doesn’t stop its fans from waiting for its next season. So, will the show ever return? Continue reading to know.
Person Of Interest is an American sci-fi drama TV series. The show made its debut on September 22, 2011. It became a hit on CBS. As a result, the network renewed it for its future installments. In the span of five years, the network has aired five seasons in total. The fans saw its last episode on June 21, 2016, and ever since then, they are waiting for CBS to revive to show for its sixth season.
Person Of Interest Season 6: Cancelled By CBS!
In the fifth season, the makers closed all open threads by resolving the main storyline between the lead characters and the antagonist, Samaritan. And then they canceled the show for its future installments after its fifth season. CBS made it clear that the fans won’t be able to see Person Of Interest Season 6. And the fans got pretty disappointed after this news. It was really one of its kind show which is based on the machine which can predict murders before it happens.
The fans even created several petitions for saving their favorite series, but that didn’t affect the decision of the network. The main reason behind the cancellation of Person Of Interest Season 6 was said to be the lack of profit for CBS from the series. A deal of the ad revenue went to Warner Bros. If CBS was in the account of 100% ownership of the series, then the fans might have been able to see its sixth season as well. Plus, its ratings also fell down after its third season. Therefore the network ultimately decided to cancel this critically acclaimed drama.
What Could’ve Been The Sixth Season’s Plot?
After the announcement of its cancellation, the showrunner Greg Plageman hinted that if the network didn’t cancel the show, then the fans will see more than 13 episodes. According to Screen Rant, he said, “The plot with Elias and the conflict with Samaritan could have gone on longer, and some of what occurred in the fifth season may have been saved for Person Of Interest Season 6’s story.” The makers were also planning out an additional story that will relate to the events of the fifth season.
Person Of Interest Season 6: Release Date
To know the release date of the upcoming season of the series, the fans have to wait for the creators to renew it officially. Therefore at this point, it is impossible to predict the release date of Person Of Interest Season 6. If CBS renews it this year, then it might premiere in the second half of 2022.
